What he did at Indiana is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. It was an incredibly rare exception, not the rule.

However, there’s millions of low I.Q. fans out there who now think that’s the standard. They will compare their programs to Cignetti and will be disappointed 99.9% of the time. It’s impossible for those people to enjoy football anymore because of this tyranny of unrealistic expectations and standards.


This is what’s happening in the LSU fanbase right now, and it’s sad. We need to chill out and remember that football is supposed to be relaxing and fun and just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Cignetti’s 2025 is the exception and not the norm.

Kiffin made Missouri’s quarterback. Kiffin built Ole Miss (which will return to mediocrity after this year when Trinidad is gone.)

Just chill and wait another year.

He went 11-2 year one with a joke of a schedule and a ton of players from his previous stop. IU actually got trounced in his only two games against ranked teams year one.

Seeing how well we’ve played against unranked teams I feel pretty confident we could have done the same in that scenario.

Year two he definitely elevated though so hopefully we’re in the same boat.

No one thinks that's the standard.

And just because you spend 40 mil on a roster doesn't mean you will win games.

People are mad on how they are losing games. Kentucky should've been a win. Bama game was close all game. Take the points. Punt the ball.

Something is off with kiffin.

I still believe in kiffin. He proved his system at Ole Miss. It works.

Mixture of us not being quite talented enough with the pressure of the job

More talent, a year of continuity, and you’ll see a different “Kiffin” next year IMO

No, it was an incredibly lucky scheduling anomaly.

Indiana in 2024 literally did not play a single ranked team until November 23rd when they lost by 23 to Ohio State.

They then lost their playoff game which was aganist the second ranked team they played the whole season.

That was Cignetti’s “once in a lifetime phenomenon” first season at Indiana. 0-2 against ranked teams.

Kiffin is 2-3.


Yes his year 2 was very impressive and this is not a knock against the dude that looks like a top 2 or 3 coach in the country, but judging this LSU team against 24 Indiana is ridiculous.

Cignetti plays 1-2 difficult games a season and had a bunch of 24-25 year old covid seniors on his teams.

In my lifetime, I’ve never once thought of LSU football as relaxing.

Having success early in a coach’s tenure is becoming much more common in today’s college football. See UCLA and Kentucky.

He is not the reason why LSU fans are acting this way.

I agree. Everyone in the world now says “well Indiana did it so why not us?”

Totally wrong. Cignetti put false hope in everyone’s minds.

Don’t know how it will end up but Chesney will likely take UCLA to the playoffs this year in year one.

It's the paradox that has been created by NIL.

Building a winning program requires continuity, but NIL won't allow it. NIL also requires huge investment to have competitive team in a given year.

So you have a high turnover environment with high cost each year. Naturally, the expectation is to win when you invest so much in a roster that you're only guaranteed to have this year.

It's not a low I.Q. thing. It's just a highly imbalanced system.
