Cignetti is a solid coach, great hire for IU. He’ll get them consistently bowl eligible every year with an occasional 9-10 win season which is the best they can hope for
I kind of doubt that especially with UCLA, USC, Washington, and Oregon coming. 4-5 wins a year with an occasional 6-6, 7-5 every three to four years.

There is no long term fix for Indiana in football.
Make every year a covid year and they'd be a top tier B1G program but other than that yeah I've got no answer

I was wondering why he would take this job, makes sense.
Cignetti has coached at tiny and often shitty programs for most of his HC Career and has never made much money by big time CFB coaching standards.
This will probably be his last shot. He was making like $800K at JMU.
He's an absolute hell of a coach. The B10 is now loaded with great coaches with the influx of Jonathan Smith and Cignetti. Those guys will have their respective programs going in a year or two.
Cignetti I thought was the best coach in the market.

Was that just his base salary with a bunch of incentives, or was that it?
If that's all he could make, kind of crazy considering the school has about a $60 Million athletic budget due to charging about $2k per year in student fees for athletics.

From Indiana University of Pennsylvania to Indiana University. I feel like a 60 something year old Cignetti is a lot younger/fresher than most coaches his age. He basically stayed at IUP to raise his family, watch his daughters play volleyball there, before moving on to Elon and JMU, quickly building winning teams there.
