Drake Moderator No. 3 Share Posted 8 hours ago While Cignetti is having a COY performance, and a raise is warranted, according to 247 his 2025 recruiting class is currently ranked 13th in the BIG. While I expect a potential uptick with Indiana’s recruiting, Cignetti will struggle to consistently compete with a below average level of recruiting inside the conference. He will need to improve dramatically. No matter how good of a coach you are, size, speed, and depth still matters. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I leave?” 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Rocks No. 7 Share Posted 7 hours ago That guy looks like he is always sucking on a lemon, what a gump. I can't imagine having to be around him. Like they say before 40 you have the face God gave you, after 40 you have the face you gave yourself. He is a walking example of that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sousa No. 8 Share Posted 7 hours ago I didn't notice a buyout number. They need a $72M buyout... and THAT won't stop some suiters from calling... if his history holds on into the future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 9 Share Posted 6 hours ago Cignetti has benefited greatly this season from 13 players who came with him from James Madison with at least 8 starting. Clearly knew expectations and culture, and the play book. His staff includes 6 assistants from JMU. According to FPI, the strength of schedule is No. 100. But, they have had dominant wins and not stubbed their toes. Cignetti had to be given a raise. Had to. Any AD would do it as a defensive measure since his coach only had one season invested in Indiana. Can he sustain success? That is now the $8million per year question. If the Hoosiers can beat Ohio State it is a short bus ride to the Big Ten Championship game. It is 49 miles from Bloomington to Indianapolis. That's closer than Georgia is to Atlanta. It would likely be the most overwhelmingly partisan crowd in the history of conference championship games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first PAC 12 championship game was at Autzen. I’ve heard the fans of Oregon represent very well there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
