Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA... Forever and Ever, Amen!

[rcbowla]

Why would people pay the Indy Star for the same info they could get by simply watching the presser? I'm serious here, I don't think he wrote anything that wasn't covered in press conference.

Same, this article was written like it was an insider take about what happened but it was mostly just taking quotes from the press conference

Wasting no time getting offers out. Just offered Kai Greer 4* OL

I agree. What I would love to know, but doubt Dolson would share is:

when did he decide to make a change 

who was in his initial list

when did he first start making contacts (I know we can know this but would love to know)

did Cigs turn us down only to have us come back with a better package or did he counter and he had to go work on it. 
 

these are things I thought of when I saw the title of the Indy Star article but you are right there was nothing new in it

I bet Cig can't cheer for the team the way Tom did!

I'd bet money he doesn't score more TD's than Tom!

So it sounds like so far we have 

Curt Cignetti - HC

Mike Shanahan - OC

Bryant Haines - DC

Tino Sunseri - QB/Passing Game

Bob Bostad - OL

Pat Kuntz - DL

 

Looks like a damn good start to a staff

Plus his strength coach, Derek Owings, and his assistant HC/ST coach, Grant Cain.  Those have been mentioned in this thread already.

Here's a link to his JMU staff since it looks like a lot of them are joining him.

Several wore multiple hats, which I will imagine continues. So Shanahan as OC/WR, Haines as DC/LB, Cain as AHC/ST/TE.

That's a good one to have coming along.

And I'll reiterate that if the CB and S coaches don't come along that's probably for the best

It’s important that we dedicate a budget to paying and retaining quality assistants. While we certainly have far more ability to do so than JMU, it’s good to see that we’ve done what it takes to allow Cig to bring his staff with him.

[Hovadipo]

Idk if any of the guys he brought so far fit the bill, but I’d like to see an assistant or two with some west coast ties. Playing 1-2 games a year out there means we’ll have a footprint, and you need someone with connections to those areas. There is so much skill talent to be had. Like Miami, LA HS football is very cliquey among the HS coaches and who recruits their schools.

Man, you’re venturing into Biggie vs Tupac territory now…

Still need RB, CB, S and recruiting coordinator.

He’s pretty much told us that it doesn’t matter related to his IU duties, but Cig and JMU will play Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 23. AWESOME matchup. That’ll be a fun one.

He’s not coaching the bowl game now 

[WhiteyMcSpeed]

James Madison’s Offensive Line coach will be coaching them in their bowl game. 

[Hoosierfan222]

Full attention on IU with the portal opening now

Rick Bozich with this tweet -

And not to leave Indiana football fans out, new coach Curt Cignetti will no longer give 10% of his time to coach James Madison in its bowl game. He's all IU all the time now.
