Cignetti will be remembered the way Gene Chizik and Ed Orgeron are.

Dude had a team full of vets and a balls out QB and won it all. Won't do it again. They are scraping by this year.

He's made the playoffs in his first 2 seasons at Indiana, the worst Power 5 program of all time, and will probably make them in Year 3.

Are you fricking stupid?

Dude… It’s Indiana… If you can’t tell the difference between winning it all with high level SEC programs vs. winning it all at fricking Indiana…

This can’t be stated enough. I don’t like Cignetti, but what he’s done at Indiana is a miracle.

There is no difference in a bag of cash and a different bag of cash. Schools dont matter. But you know that.

He'll be remembered as an all-time great coach at A&M who ran a dynasty when he replaces SMELLKO after we drop a fat stack of cash on him to leave that fischer price program.

It's not like they didn't spend a bunch of money to do it.

Kind of like Auburn did in 2010.

This could possibly go down as the worst post ever on this board and that is saying a whole lot.

Lame Kiffin will be remembered the way he keeps blowing his chance to accomplish something anywhere he has been the HC.

Cuban didn’t make a big donation to NIL until this year

LSU spent $50 million on their roster this year.

Indiana spent $39 million.

Ed Orgeron isn't even close to being comparable to Chizik in these discussions.


Gene Chizik and Larry Coker belong in the same tier: two coaches who won it all with teams they never built, but were inherited (and bought in Chizik's case).


Orgeron built his team.

They've been above 20 million well into the 49 million range since Cignetti showed up. Please stop pretending its some miraculous turnaround by a genius.

I’m well aware how they work.
Indiana didn’t spend as much on last years roster or any roster compared to what LSU spent this year and LSU won’t even make the playoffs.
That show you how things work?

If 100 schools had a job opening and could get any current college head coach 100/100 would take Curt as choice #1

You absolute retard.

You think Rutgers and Minnesota are dropping the same bags as even the lowest SEC teams?

Wrong. Show proof? You don’t have any.
Go fix your trailer up and focus on how god awful the state of Louisiana is.
It’s a 3rd world country. Most would choose Iraq over living in Louisiana
