AKA "Ciggie-Smalls."

 

I'm not necessarily sure, if we actually do win on a consistent basis, my lungs are going to be able to handle the amount of cigars I'll be willing to smoke. lol

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.

 

Went and watched your game against NDSU.... 

Your SPT hurt you. Missed FG, gave up a TD on a fake FG.... you never "ran all over them" though. You ran well, just like you passed and had one drive come up with a goose egg and another where you had to settle for 3. That game should have been 17-13 at the half, at worst.

I was just reviewing the list, not a lot of stars, but that is expected. If he can develop guys and just instill a culture of playing tough and smart (think Iowa) that will go a long way. Then get some offensive playmakers (to avoid the putrid Iowa like offense) and you have a recipe for bowl eligibility, IMO. I hate losing to Michigan/O$U/Penn St like clockwork, but squandering games against MSU, Illinois, Purdue has to stop first. If CCC can get IU to stop beating themselves, he deserves a blank check. 

As well as... if they just scouted correctly, to begin with. 

The bold is a great point, and I'll also add, Maryland+Rutgers should never wax us.

This^^^ and why I started to "turn" on CTA. 

For sure. There is a laundry list of 4 start/highly rated 3 stars that were incorrectly rated/starred by recruiting agencies. We took the bait. Poor scouting/poor development is just a recipe for disaster at Indiana. 

If Kansas State can be better than 7-5 every year with their recruiting, so can we. Period. Old Dominion had 3 guys drafted last year. 

His stud WR from this past year... this is what his recruiting profile looks like ... https://247sports.com/Player/elijah-sarratt-46145870/high-school-306034/ .... 

On3 and Rivals didn't even bother to have a profile on him.

Losing one score games (4 this year) is the norm. Coach Cig tends to win those games. I'm expecting an improved football team with this coaching staff. Yeah, we've lost some players and filled those holes through the portal, but overall, it's pretty much the same team. Changing the way we think is part of the process. No self imposed limitations. Sky's the limit.

He's doing a Zoom today and all kinds of quotes hitting Twitterverse.  Couple of my favorites.

Cignetti: "The administration here, they want football to win. So I've probably got a couple things the other coaches didn't, and they've got a guy who knows how to win. "It's pretty simple."

"This roster's gonna look a lot different in January when the players come back." Suggests there will be seven more transfers announced after bowl games.

Cignetti on selling vision to HS and portal recruits: "It's pretty simple: I win."
