Re: Cignetti Leaves JMU for Indiana
I'm sure it's a hefty pay raise but unless they start cheating or absolutely buying players he's settled for a perennial 6-6 (at best) team. I will never see the money a coach like him gets but wow did he take the first offer that came along?

Re: Cignetti Leaves JMU for Indiana
Indiana has had 3 winning seasons this century. Their last was 2020 when they went 6-2. In 2019 they were 8-5. Their last three years in the Big 10 they are 3-24.Bigdaddyg1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 12:36 pmI'm sure it's a hefty pay raise but unless they start cheating or absolutely buying players he's settled for a perennial 6-6 (at best) team.

Exactly. The guy did great and put JMU in the rankings and on the map. Can't believe this is his dream destination.hapapp wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 1:30 pmIndiana has had 3 winning seasons this century. Their last was 2020 when they went 6-2. In 2019 they were 8-5.

Maybe he's a fan of the movie Hoosiers and has measured the football field.

Re: Cignetti Leaves JMU for Indiana
At least the expectations should be reasonable, unlike some SEC schools and others that are ready to fire the coach if the team is not a top four within a few years.hapapp wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 1:30 pmIndiana has had 3 winning seasons this century.
