Dude got the biggest schedule lottery ticket in 100 years and is scurred and did the Mel Tucker 2.0 let's get a big deal before I lose to Ohio State 70-17. Hope he doesn't stroke it on the phone with a consultant.

You've talked constantly about how UW got dealt a super difficult schedule this year and I couldn't disagree more. And now you're trying to link Cignetti's success with being given a Charmin soft schedule, accusing him of cowardice and finally trying to link him to Mel Tucker's sexual behavior???

Cignetti talks a lot of shit. He very well could lose by 40 to tosu and be nominated for the fake tough guy of the year award.

Or not and he could make the playoffs. Either way it will be interesting.

Legit laughed about this. Cignetti has won a lot at the lower levels as a HC to the point he's earned the ability to talk a little bit. I'm generally just not a fan of that shit and don't think the great coaches do that but unfortunately college football is so set up to succeed at a few jobs we're getting stuck with assholes in plum situations who then act tough.

He is a winner for sure. But has a certain level of arrogance to be that blunt in interviews. If he gets blown out he is on the FTGOTY watch list for sure. Either way, the committee should have some representatives and the trophy on site for this match up vs Ryan Day.

I think it's OK at places like Indiana, WSU, Oregon State … you know, places that traditionally suck but pop every few years for whatever reason. I think most people take it for what it is, a coach of an outlier program saying "look at me, look at me" and taking the pressure off the players who are probably outkicking their coverage anyway.
Cignetti will be the next Fickell or Frost or Rhule … basically forgotten in a few years.

Dude is 63, no wonder he jumped at the chance to cash out…”Honey, we can buy the lake house now, and live there permanently in about 4 years”…

That's what I figured and probably a good move. Try to resurrect some dead program with sky high expectations like Florida or Auburn and almost assuredly fail or get multi-generational money and have the runway to regress back to mediocrity at Indiana and still be celebrated?

I mostly agree but it would be funny to see Indiana win a natty this season

Speaking of strength of schedules, Washington is Indiana's best win this year lmao

UW losing to Rutgers and Cuog might keep Indiana from getting a playoff berth
