Curt Cignetti
- Thread starter CH53USMC
- Start date
In 14 seasons as a head coach, he's never had a losing record. And in 8 of those 14 seasons, he lost 2 or fewer games. What he's doing in his first year at Indiana is impressive. Downside is the dude is 63 years old and this is his first year coaching a big program in a power conference.
Their best wins so far are against UCLA and Nebraska. They have Washington, Michigan and Ohio State coming up.
If they beat pOSU, I'm on board with Cigs. Then again, the pOSU fans desperately want Cigs to replace Ryan Day. If that happens, I'd take Day over Lame Kiffin any day. He's actually won conference titles and has a few CFP appearances under his belt.
Curt Cignetti also served as an assistant under Saban at Bama. I also believe he was their recruiting coordinator.
UCLA is 2-5. They are terrible. Nebraska was the first team with a winning record Indiana has played. Granted they smoked the Conhuskers but overall Indy's schedule has been soft. The gris and gravy are coming up but even Michigan doesn't look terribly daunting. Hope Cignetti whips them all. though. What a great story that would be.
Be interesting to see how long their starting QB stays out and how the back up does this week.. Their offense is just fun to watch, their defense plays full speed. They might be the most fun team to watch in CFB this year if you've had the chance, old school ego free roster that plays as a team with something to prove. If they could just compete with Michigan and Ohio State it would be a major sign how great this coach is.
