Some people have entirely too much talent.

I’m loving the creative with stuff like this and the Marlboro chevron towels and shirts — very fun.

Can we get a basketball coach clone?

Football season is way too far away.

Curt Cignetti was very close with his father before his passing in September of 2022, and one of Cig’s other motives for coming to Bloomington was his dad.

“I just figured maybe coming to [Indiana University] would bring me a little closer to my dad” Cignetti answered on what drew him to IU during A Conversation with Coach Cignetti on Tuesday.

I really wish we could get a recording of his event Tuesday. Looked awesome.

Unfortunately, there probably won’t be any.  My son is a freshman at IU.  He attended it and they didn’t allow any pictures or recording.

Curt Cignetti just announced that he will be stepping down after the 2025 season.

Yesterday I watched the Football in 60 Iowa game on BTN and at the end of the game there was a stat about IUFB starting 5-0 two straight seasons. I think it's the first time is school history or something. It got me thinking about the coach. 

Curt Cignetti and staff have gone 4 straight seasons starting 5-0 and 6 straight seasons starting 4-0.

I hope (and have some confidence) that Cig and the team are figuring out how to call an audible at the line in loud stadiums. If the offense gets that taken care of, it will really help us at both Oregon and PSU. After nearly 50 years of being a fan, this stuff is fun!

Great incentive package 

[realTomCrean]

So essentially if IUFB makes the CFP Coach Cigs grosses $10M/yr. Great compensation considering the allocation of $ to retain top coordinators/position coaches. Though IU is likely 25-40 range in NIL budget, certainly IUFB is top 15 in coaching salaries when adding OC/DC.

I foresee another round of big raises to Coach Cignetti and his crew…. Coach Haines will definitely be a HOT commodity, even more this year.

[Pagoda]

I thought we were paying the staff enough after all the big raises last year.

Somehow they are justifying even more.  Another round of revised contracts/raises makes sense and we’ve got to pump every cent of NIL we can find into this program.
