Once a program is fully established has momentum and is rolling, it is easier to do.

Aggie might get to the CFP championship if they join the Big 10, and I encourage them to do that.

You're so mad about losing to A&M.

Meanwhile the LSU fanbase celebrated their new hire more than any other in the history of CFB. Pathetic.

Indiana didn’t win a Championship with money. They did it with great coaching. Top notch player evaluation, development, and execution.



Thats why these arguments of "If Indiana can do it so can anyone" are terrible.

Where are you gonna find another Cig?

So they didn't pay a bunch of 23 year olds playing their 5th and 6th years?


Sure, but no more than anyone else. I think you can look at the roster and tell that Texas A&M paid more for it's players, and probably most SEC school paid more than Indiana.

We can take a look at this theory that Indiana had a bunch of 5th and 6th years. Let's take a look at each class with significant playing time (Played in more than 6 games).

Indiana had 7 guys from the '20 class, 4 guys from the '21 class
Texas A&M had 4 guys from '20 class, 10 guys from the '21 class

They didn't win with money, they probably had more for NIL than previous years, but it can't be more than SEC schools. . They weren't offering the same caliber players, lots of production from the guys that transferred from JMU. Experience is big, but not much different in 5th and 6th years compared to other teams.

in these arguments people act like a Cignetti is just out there growing on trees.

You have to have the coaching AND the roster.

Its not just spending money.

Exactly. Cig is in a league of his own with evaluations, development, and execution.

People act like because you have money you can automatically win.

You need the staff as well.

Coaching 100% matters.

They have done nothing for the conference since they joined in 2012.

The only thing that interested me about this thread was responding to call you a fa@@ot.

Seems self explanatory… but the fact you don’t understand this is not unsurprising.

Scoring more than 3 at home in a playoff game would be a start.
