I worry about his lack of confidence. Hopefully he can learn how to feel more confident and share how he is feeling

Coach Cig has an air about himself... almost cocky, but in a believable, likable way. Someone once said "it ain't braggin' if you can back it up"... CCC has backed it up where ever he's been. Welcome to BTown, sir!

At least Cig still has a choice whether to get a driver or not...

He joked in his presser saying he must have fallen asleep this morning driving into work because he hit a curb and popped a tire. 

Guess it's time to listen to the presser. Sounds like a doozy.

"These young guys like to score a lot of points...read about how they're the next candidate for the Nebraska job"

I laughed out loud.

Coach Cignetti.... paraphrase, "Look, the administration here, they want football to win! I've got some things that the "other" coaches didn't..... and hey, they got a guy that knows what they're doin!".... I love his confidence. I sort of got from his last statement that we will definitely not see what we saw the past several years as long as his coaching staff and football team has anything to do with it. He did say he thinks we will win big next year..... I sure hope so.

If his team plays as good as he talks, we are going to have a lot of fun. I don't see the undisciplined play we've become accustomed to continuing under CCC.

I hope the his contract came with a wheelbarrow for his balls. He does not lack confidence that's for sure.

If (and it's IU Football, so it's always a big 'if') we win with this guy at the helm?

Other teams are going to hate him with a white hot passion, and it will be ... delicious.

[IUrocker]

I hope if he ends up winning here that we are a destination good enough for him to make it his last stop before he calls it quits. If a bigger “football school” comes after him, hopefully he’s happy enough here to say thanks but no thanks. Maybe with his age that just may be the case anyways.

On top of that…..If, and that’s a big if we actually start winning and consistently, he will be a hot commodity.

This should be coach's entrance theme! Wow, I hope he is right and gets this program to a level never seen before. I think we will like him, but the media will grow tired of him. I just get that feeling that there is a hint of RMK attitude towards the media buried in there, lol.

I'd say more than a hint. Reminds me a lot of CBK in that I don't think he is one to suffer fools.

Really enjoyed CCC's presser this afternoon- confident and he brought the sauce.  Two questions that remain in my mind, (1) out of morbid curiosity I wonder which players who entered the portal and were greeted with a 'thanks but no thanks' and (2) curious who the 'silent seven' IU verbal commits from current bowl bound teams are, CCC was visibly excited when he got to the topic.  I doubt we will ever hear of the former, but the latter is intriguing for the next week or so.

[Crazy about IU]

Wow Coach Cig has got me excited for football season. That presser had me wanting to jump up and down with excitement. I know it’s possible just look at Louisville football this year. Sounds like he has done an unbelievable job recruiting in just 20 days. I believe IU will no longer be a doormat in the Big. I usually don’t like over confident somewhat bragging people. But like they say if you can back your words up it’s not bragging we will see. A lot of people seems to be buying in especially the players . I love how he answers the questions doesn’t give text book answers. Already in love.

I'm not sure those players would help...
