If your football culture didn't study film - that's about to change. Was always impressed when players would say post-game "oh yes, we saw that on film and we weren't surprised when they did x,y,z"

That's good to hear.  Especially as it relates to opponents attempting (aka completing) big plays against our D, I would describe our past culture as one of "surprise!"  :)

I think that was the secondary game plan, receivers surprised at being so open that they drop it.

Thanks for the great question - Elon was a dog for a long time...so didn't follow them closely - but we knew by halftime that we were going to lose. CC had clearly out-thought and out-prepped our coach for that game...went right after our weaknesses and Elon played "up" that day...probably a big part of why we hired him.

If memory serves me....Elon already had a beast of an RB that year, probably should have been FBS but this was prior to the "free for all where IU keeps taking JMU recruits" days ... ;)

Appreciate your response here. I asked the question because I wanted my IUFB brethren try to understand just how special this coach is. He's the guy I wanted before we parted ways with the coach he's replacing. IUFB is probably one of the worst programs in college football history. So we typically have low expectation. Most of us are excited to finish .500, because it's so rare. All of us have a desire of expectations that you have for your Dukes football. My hope is that he can create something special in Btown. Time will tell and IUFB is what it is.

Details on Cignetti's contract.

6 years/$27m guaranteed. Heavily incentives. Buyout drops by 3 mil each year on Dec 1, it'd be 20m for 2024.

Maybe Dolson learned a little from Allen’s agent taking behind the woodshed.

LOL...oof, that's a face-palm right there Coach Allen....

Here is what you'll see sometimes - yourself yelling at the TV - "call a timeout. why no timeout? CALL A TIMEOUT!!"....

7 seconds later from the announcers...."coach Cignetti has called a timeout"

Again - I'm not trying to run the guy ragged, but you'll see "too cute" - against NDSU in the championship we are running it on them. i mean, all over them...so he abandons it and switches to pass happy (in *advance* of them adjusting...). We lost.

 

At least it happened in the FCS Championship game against a titan like North Dakota State and not against a MAC school that regularly loses 10 games like Akron. 

You don't know a bad timeout until you saw the worst of Tom Allen.

Increasing the assistant pool by $500k per bowl appearance is an awesome incentive. That’ll do wonders for replacing a hot-named coordinator that we didn’t account for in the past.

Interesting I didn’t see the word adidas anywhere… could this mean we’re switching up our sponsorship?

4.5 a year guaranteed is less than I would have expected

Did you try it on the actual story or just the homepage? If the latter, copy and paste the story link then add the extra dot.

Well I just went to my browser and typed in the info you suggested. Did not necessarily work but following your second suggestion I clicked on the link above and this time the story was not blocked.  So maybe the first messed up approach cleared my cache somehow
