Curt Cignetti continues to be the best coach nobody talks about

Has Indiana currently housing UCLA at the Rise Bowl 28-10 and Hoosier are about to be 3-0.
Last year, they were 3-9.
He's in his 60s, so nobody wanted to hire him after taking JMU from 1AA to Div 1, and still going 11-2.

In a time of NIL madness, it’s amazing to still see great coaching turn around a program.

Some sec teams might be calling

If I'm Arkansas, I have already called him and offered him.
Even if you only get him for 5-6 yrs, he's will turn your program around immediately.
Indiana is just an incredibly well coached team all around. QB doesn't make stupid decisions. Defense flies around with fire.
ETA: Not so fast - Cignetti buyout details:
If Cignetti resigns prior to the end of his contract, he would pay the university the following as liquidated damages:
Between Dec. 1, 2023 – Nov. 30, 2024: $8,000,000
Between Dec. 1, 2024 – Nov. 30, 2025: $6,000,000
Between Dec. 1, 2025 – Nov. 30, 2026: $4,000,000
Between Dec. 1, 2026 – Nov. 30, 2027: $2,000,000
Between Dec. 1, 2027 – Nov. 30, 2028: $1,000,000
Between Dec. 1, 2028 – Nov. 30, 2029: $1,000,000

OSU plays Indiana the week before Michigan, could be a big overlook spot.
I really like how Indiana is playing right now.

UCLA is bad this year. Indiana has played no one with a pulse. The upcoming game against Maryland will be their first real test.

He's a very good coach. IU made a great hire.

That’s nothing for a desperate SEC school

Oh you said great coaching.

Love Curt, but UCLA is a horrible football team.
LSU should beat them by 50.

Great coaching is the neutralizer. Always has been. You have mediocre coaches leading an all star roster and they will often lose out to the well coached teams with a less talented roster.
I would much rather have the ace position coach who is a middle of the road recruiter than the great recruiter who is a mediocre coach. The ace will have his kids ready for the NFL and Mr. Mediocre’s squad will never live up to its potential.

Indiana has averaged three wins a season (3-2-4) over the past three years. Cignetti already has three wins in his first three games. They are far from great, but he’s worked wonders his first few months on the job.

They won their first three games just two years ago and ended with 4 wins. They have won their first 3 games every other year for the previous 6.
I think they probably front-load the easiest part of their schedule. He may do really well at Indiana but it is kind of early to really know.
