Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

[Home Jersey 12,299]

Wage a tenacious battle against complacency...? 

Seems clear there was certainly a discussion and agreement on a certain level of investment/commitment!

He doesn’t give the warm and fuzzy, friendlies. I mean, that’s probably the case for most winning football coaches. But he’s long married. He’s a family man and football is his top priority. His past indicates it works. I love his confidence that’s for sure. I love his recruiting philosophy. I hope it works against the best of the best.

Where we are right now, we will find the holes and plug them, having great confidence, and with support of the fans and the administration we shall endeavor to persevere leaving no stone unturned while installing and implementing a new winning culture, one game, one play, one practice at a time, focused on the big picture, and otherwise amalgamating all for one and one for all.  

I'm glad that Coach Cignetti did not sound like the above. Straight talking is good.

Any guesses on what Cig meant by his multiple allusions to "no self-imposed limitations"?

Curious what folks around here think.

Seems like an cocky, no-nonsense prick. Exactly what we need!

Curious about this as well...

Assuming that him and Dolson had a very frank conversation, and Cig's vision included improving several areas Indiana is lacking or has lacked in the past (NIL, Recruiting Budget, etc...). If Cig was Dolson's guy, and he clearly laid out his vision and plan, it could be as simple as IU is coming to the table and committing to the entirety of that plan, and not limiting ourselves in areas we can control to win games, be successful and not simply limp into bowl games here and there.

Was curious as well. No excuses? Goal will be to always win a NC rather than just be bowl eligible??

No limit to how good we can be.

If he coaches half as good as he talks, we are immediately better. This is a step up in competition but I like that he is confident he can handle it. We need what he brings as a coach and we also need better players to move significantly up in conference. But, that said, better coaching probably has us in a bowl this year.

Anyone notice that gleam in his eye when he said the dog was gone?  Makes you wonder.

He brings a high level of expectation and winning mindset, and is expressing it for all to hear, with confidence...what that does for a locker room and a team is huge. Change the culture, change the mindset..."High standard, high expectation, high accountability". 

Anddd I just ran through the wall.

Whitten told Compliance to back off?

The dog got complacent.  It had to go.

Getting rid of the "we can't do that mentality."   Heck, there are several posters here who would just settle for "Kentucky like" results and go to a few bowl games.  He's made it clear -- he expects to play in the B10 Championship.

Let's nab the kid mentioned earlier that runs a 4.4, Jah Jah Boyd.

Compliance chilling out would be a significant development.

There should be two happy coaches:  one who receives a pocket full of cash to work to clean up a mess and work to make some IU football history.  The other receives a pocket full of cash to leave an unpleasant situation and start a new job/career life on his own timeline.

[monskisprodigy 2,215]

I loved his second answer on NIL...

Said we won't have the same resources that other top teams have, but that wont be detrimental...said he would love to see the price tag of the top guys compared to their production...it's all abut how you evaluate and develop kids...his worst transfers at JMU were power 5 kids, best were FSC kids. 

We won't likely ever compete with the big schools for NIL dollars...but Coach Cig is making no excuses....

The IU football mindset, maybe? "We're IU football, we can't beat that team."
