"I define success by winning, and that's what we're aiming to do this fall." - Coach Cig

Add administrative support from the top as well.

“Ju had a great time,” the elder Lewis said. “He really did. “He really likes the town and family atmosphere among the team. He had a chance to spend a lot of time with the o-line. Obviously he sees what they’re trying to do and sees a real opportunity to do something different. “From a dad’s perspective, one thing I can say, being around them and talking to the coaches there is no reason not to believe they don’t have a chance to win. Based on track record and the amount of support they have from the administration, they have a favorable schedule the next two seasons. They can be in the mix pretty quick.” - TC Lewis, father of JuJu

"Hickory's first road game of the season, a tough, physical battle where emotions are running high. Classic Norm. Instead of being the calming influence his team needs, he instigates a brawl by dressing down the referee, taunting the opposing coach and slapping -- yes, slapping -- the hand of a kid on the other team. Remember, this is a coach with a history of assault, having punched one of his own players at Ithaca College and receiving a lifetime ban for it. Luckily for Dale, the Internet didn't exist in 1951, and only one person in town -- Myra Fleener -- knows how to look up information in a library." If it wasn't for Chipwood coming in to save the day, Coach Dale ain't doin' poop. Just sayin.

Confidence and arrogance sometimes gets misunderstood. Someone's confidence might be viewed as arrogance or cockiness from someone else. Coach Cig is consistent with his message. It's about changing the mindset of doubt and trusting a process. It's about patience and faith. It's about taking initiative, self-control, poise and ambition. This type of coaching dates back to John Wooden's Pyramid of Success. I compare his message more to a Vince Lombardi approach to be honest.

ESPN has released its 2024 FPI ratings and projections. IUFB (-2.4) is setting last in the conference and 77th overall. Things FPI most likely doesn't factor and probably should if it doesn't. Coaching change past four year history and transfer portal replacements (starters on previous schools and history of school player transferred from). I could be wrong though the FPI system might actually factor that in. I'm bringing this up because JMU (2.6) has a better FPI than IUFB at 51st and history of the previous seasons makes a difference in these ratings. Someone like Rourke is more than likely an upgrade over Sorsby. Especially if you look at the history between the two of them and should by all accounts add value to IUFB's FPI rating. IUFB's receiving core is also a major upgrade that most likely didn't get factored into the FPI equation. The history of defensive transfers is an upgrade in my opinion. IUFB overall is probably in better shape than it was last year but that will all be decided on the gridiron come this fall. Point being this FPI rating will change once the world sees just how much of a problem IUFB is going to be for whoever plays them. And I can't wait! Everything you need to know about FPI here. Posted this for receipts.

Jaylen Bell committed. A big get in my opinion.

Is there any way you can change your seats?
