Why is Curt Cignetti not mentioned for any openings?

Is it solely because of his age? Or is he too course for most major ADs to deal with. He seems to have a lot of Saban in him and probably demands a lot from a program and his players.

What he has done at JMU is nothing short of incredible.

65 years old but that

119-35 record and building those programs is solid.


ETA: His post season record is awful though.

Age I'd think is a hindrance.

JMU was already a great FCS program before Cignetti. They were a year removed from back-to-back national championship games when he took over.

I'm not meaning to disparage Cignetti either. I think he's a really good coach. But at his age, programs needing to rebuild will likely want someone younger, and he might not want to take on a huge project either. I can see Duke being a good fit since they have a solid foundation in place for the future. Possibly also UNC if Mack decides to retire.

Just fired from Pitt where they had one of the worst offenses in FBS. Can't see how he's an attractive candidate

Maybe Arkansas AD turned him away and he decided to keep Pittman for another year.
