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

[sirhoosierlot]

Pay him this week Scott

Get an extension done before the season is over. Maybe announce it after the Purdue game and before bowl season. I mean playoff season.

We can’t let another school outbid us. If it’s his lifelong goal to go coach at Florida and get fired after 3 years if he doesn’t win a national championship, nothing you can do about that. But you can’t lose him because of finances. Any amount you pay him will be earned back through his teams’ performances, and then some.

Awesome job by CCC and the entire staff.

Built a great team by utilizing the portal.

Did it once. Wonder if it’s sustainable?

Probably... it's obvious that  CCC can coach. He has a plan, and he's done it at every level that he's tried. #noComparison #tryAgain

Football is an entirely different animal. Trying to make a comparison between the two is clown stuff. And honestly unnecessary. Just let people enjoy IUFB without bringing in basketballs baggage.

Oh, I’m enjoying the hell out of the football program. Just wondering if the standards are the same for all programs

Well, they’re not. Because the nature of the sports are different. Hope that answers your question, go IUFB! Hope basketball makes us equally proud this year. We’ll see!!! Go Hoosiers baby

Get the friggin’ Woodson discourse out of the football forum. Jesus

No that’s your opinion. And you guys react because it makes you uncomfortable to believe that building a team through the portal, regardless of the team, isn’t sustainable

Hmmm…. Considering that “the Wooden discourse “ permeates pretty much every basketball thread

I know it may seem crazy but I think $10-$12 mil per year and the highest staff budget in the B1G may be in order here. If you want to keep him you'll have to back the truck up and give him so much he can't leave. Let's hope that's what happens.

Cignetti's foot has to be so tired from delivering so many @$$ kickings. On behalf of all Hoosier fans and all past incompetent administrations, I'm sorry you weren't hired 30 years ago.

To Mr. Dolson: Just build the man a statue already. Also, a major pay raise has been earned along with staff increases.

For those interested, here are his contract details: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2023/12/13/indiana-football-curt-cignetti-contract-27-million-iu-six-seasons/71911438007/

I’m so happy to be alive to witness this season.  I am old enough to remember 1967 and the tremendous excitement and joy of people following that team.  I was even fortunate enough to see IU’s game against Iowa…a victory with a score in the last three minutes or something like that.  Watching Harry Gonso throw a terrific pass to Jade Butcher during the last touchdown drive.  That team, like this one, surprised many opponents, but won a lot of close games.  They benefited from a favorable schedule of not having to play either OSU or Michigan, which allowed them to tie for the BIG10 championship.  This is a tremendous moment for IU football folks…and I know most of you know that….but just the same, take it in and savor it.  And let’s keep supporting this team, the coaches, but especially the HC.  He’s a winner and I believe he’ll stay with the right support and respect for this program.  Go Hoosiers!
