I remember back when people here were saying Dabo was the greatest to ever coach.

I think there are some pretty smart LSU fans. Just not the ones who say something like this and exhibit an IQ below room temperature.
The folks that spout this do not consider that it states the other SEC teams are all stupid and impotent eunuchs.

No you don't.
You have an imaginary fantasy you've created as a means of coping because you think your team is the bestest there ever was and the only way someone could ever possibly do better is by cheating.
No way does every other school in the conference, who are also spending millions of dollars on this stuff, just sit back and allow the crap people like you claim to happen.
Not to mention fixing games is a crime unless college football goes the way of the NFL and WWE and calls it sports entertainment rather than sports.

The Mount Rushmore of college football coaches is obviously an imaginary monument in the middle of nowhere, and the criteria for selecting the coaches who deserve to be on an imaginary monument in the middle of nowhere is really subjective.
I think that a strong argument could be made for or against.
Climbing the mountain and staying on top of the mountain are too different things.

Why are some Bama fans trying to convine us that Indiana spends like Oregon and Texas Tech and that's why Alabama lost?

Nobody is doing that, not even the post you are quoting.

Why are some LSU fans so ignorant. The post only alludes that Cignetti has assets at his disposal.
And most Bama fans blame a misuse of Bama talent by coachng rather than any talent dfferentiation.

Mt Rushmore means 4, I don’t think he’s that high yet. Easily top hundred, maybe top 50, which if you think of how many coaches there have been that’s a very lofty feat. But would want to see 5-10 years of sustained success before carving his head into a mountainside.

Mount Rushmore because of one legendary year? No.
Plenty of coaches can claim that status.

Cignetti has a foothold for the climb.
He also seems to have built a program for the long term over one year despite the new reaiities in college football.
Indiana already had enough wealth in their alumni and fanbase. They just needed someone to harvest that wealth.
So I do not think he is there yet but someone should start considering his pose.

No, you gotta win more than 1 NC. But he does get a nice plaque.

At a minimum.
Furthermore, it *should* put Kirby and quite a few other coaches on the hot seat.

Was Kirby a good coach? or did he just stockpile all the best players before the NIL era. He really just kind of grinded down inferior teams, then lost to other great teams.
Stockpiling the best players is part of coaching.
He has an excellent record against top 10 teams, so he's won over "other great teams" more often than he's lost.

Mt. Rushmore for 1 title? Lol

Sheesh! Indiana never had a 9 win season before Cignetti. They'd finished in the AP top 20 four times in the history of the poll.

I think Cignetti is a paradigm shift for football. He's certainly made things simpler, and changed how you run a college football program. Primarily - he's shown that you really don't have to give a damn about high-school recruiting.
I also don't think he'll be copied. Because what he's doing just doesn't resonate with the egos of college coaches. They want to paint you a masterpiece. Cignettii is painting a Bob Ross. Because it works.
Mt. Rushmore ? Don't know if he can sustain it. But he's on one Hell of a start.

Perspective. Gary Barnett got Northwestern to the Rose Bowl in '96. Not on the Mt. Rushmore of College Coaches.
