Yep, he goes to a bigtime program and he's just anther good coach who won a championship. At IU he's a genius and a legend admired by all of the college football world for what he was able to do.
“Just another good coach who won a championship” Really??? That’s the pinnacle of coaching, that hundreds of coaches have tried to reach. Give me a break.
Hold your horses. Think about how he changed the team. 31 players wore a different team's jersey last year. Almost half were JMU players. IU's quarterback is gone after this season and how many of the JMU players will have used up their eligibility?
He was happy at JMU and intended to stay... he saw IU as a solid opportunity at the next level. Now he is in the Power 4 and the B10 is arguably the best overall conference in the country. If he is winning here... why bail for what might be a lateral move. Just be the best in the B10 and kick everyone's ass in year 1. He said it at the Basketball game and is backing his words up.. STUD!!!
its not like IU doesnt have the resources to pay him and his staff. they have literally the biggest or 2nd biggest alumni base in the country depending who you ask. iu and penn state are 1 and 2.. the basketball team rakes in cash also. they are top 5 in nil money. why would he go somewhere when he can build his own powerhouse from scratch and be regarded as the one who built everything and leave a legacy on a program that deserves to finally win something? IU is not western michigan. They have the resources to compete with the best in the SEC and the big ten. The only thing holding it back was coaching and players.
AHhh love this comment. Yes!, nobody knows this. They think all these other schools are so powerful. I wear IU gear all over the country and get stopped everywhere. The fan base is huge. And that's what I am saying, he can build a legacy, could have his name on the stadium for heavens sake. I agree coaching for sure. We will get the players. Indiana high school is actually pretty good football to.
Michigan fan here. I'm enjoying your success. I hope no one- including us, takes your coach. Not quite the same cuz it's pro- but also a Lions fan. We love our coach up here, and it would suck if he went somewhere else. After decades of being laughed at, Detroit finally has a good team. It's a strange feeling to see us well regarded around the league. It still takes some getting used to. I see similarities between the Lions and Indiana. I still gotta root for Michigan when we play, but wishing you guys the best of success.
Lions are awesome. Really hoping they win the Super Bowl. Love Dan Campbell. Few fake punts would drive me crazy but they still find a way to win. It is weird seeing a logo that is known for losing finally win
Washington fan here. Hope you keep him and continue your trajectory. Learn from our situation. Coaching contracts require high buyouts or you are training the next guy for Bama, Florida, FSU, OSU, UO, or whoever has deeper pockets to buy success at your expense.
When Bob knight first came to IU he was the Curt Cignetti of IU Basketball. My memory is getting a little foggy but as I remember it, when Branch McCraken retired his assistant, Lou Watson took over but he was a poor coach and Indiana basketball was so-so for a couple of years. Then Lou Watson was replaced by Bob Knight. In those days only league champions went to the NCAA tournament, and there was no big 10 tournament. As Bob Knight put it, the Big 10 season is our tournament. So IU won the Big 10 and went to the tournament where they played John Wooden's UCLA, and almost beat them. This was the same team that Lou Watson had the year before and Bob knight inherited this team. That is the differance a coach can make. And now we have coach Cignetti.
Thanks for commenting some awesome IU history. Really insightful and adds to what is happening now with IU Football. Really hoping the basketball team can have a good season to. Cheers!
@@cacogenicisteasily. I don’t think you understand just how much money they have. Their football lack of success has never been about money. Just look at their facilities and recent stadium renovations.
@@cacogenicist yes they can! You really don’t realize how much money IU has. They’re probably one of the bigger universities in this country. Just because it’s Indiana doesn’t make it a small program or college.
Don’t get rid of the rock. You’re probably too young to remember Terry Hoepner. He was just like Cignetti but didn’t have the talent and NIL advantage. He had IU turned around quickly but then got sick and died. It was a much slower turnaround but was quick for low IU standards. Had he lived IU would be a much different program.
Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah saw that on game day. Why was that story never told earlier. Thought somebody wanted to make a random tradition. Crazy how they moved it 2.
He's gotten bonus already and so has the staff. His contract was very milestones heavy. The athletic director has been rumored to already be ready to present a new contract.
Let’s see how the year ends up. I like what I’m seeing, but there have been plenty of knee jerk reactions to pay coaches after several games in their first season. Look what ND did after Charlie Wiese almost beat number one USC his first season.
It's one of my favorite Bear Bryant stories. Alabama was a segregated school, and Bear was losing. He helps desegragrate Alabama, and he recruits great back athletes, and the story is over he's a legend for this.
Bryant got beat at home by a great black tailback at USC in 1970 named Clarence Davis. Bryant knew he had no choice. He needed to to bring in black athletes in order to compete.
I agree with most of what you said, but HELL NO you don’t get rid of the traditions IDGAF, Heps Rock means something to Bloomingtonians and Hoosiers fans. Outide of the Cannon , the walk , and the first down cheer that literally it for tradition. If anything we should create a new Intro like VT or S Carolina or a 4th Quarter tradition Like Wisconsins jump around. Loving the stealing of the Terrible towel in the cig towel, that’s the type of tradition and pageantry that hyped the fans in the stadium and excites recruits to come to IU. All of it keep it, add to it. Make things Uniquely IU.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah a person on this thread mentioned the history the rock. Something I didn’t know prior to filming this. The story should be told more Do you like the stadium size? Or would you want bigger? There isn’t a bad seat now
@@BeersBytheIvyI wonder that same thing when people make this comment. The more important piece of compensation is the amount you have to pay assistant coaches and facilities. IU needs to make at least a $100M in facilities upgrades for athletes. Kilroy's best??? Interesting... Nick's is WAY WAY better.
$10 million dollars a year and all the NIL he could want, at a big program. Or Indiana, which will be a serious struggle every year, in terms of talent acquisition. Everyone is rooting for Indiana when their team isn't playing them. It's a great story so far, and good for the B1G. ... But he's not going to be there forever. Don't be naive.
@@cacogenicistIndiana has money, boy do they have money. Their losing in football has never been for lack of money I can assure you that. Just look at the recent stadium renovations and facility upgrades. Money isn’t the problem in Bloomington
Agree he'll stay and they pay him well. His age, the huge stage of B1G and IU Bloomington haven keep him at IU. Only IU can screw it up or CIG but he Cig, seems too wily and aware to not 'Knight' him self out of there. I think another wrinkle will be that his 3+ coordinators may become the best paid in the business and one of then replaces him in 8-10 yrs and 3+ Nats later! 😀
They just handled the Bob Knight thing so wrong. Egos both sides. It would be like kicking Nick Saban out which sounds crazy in today's world. Bob tho was a handful for sure. Bobby Knight!!
@@BeersBytheIvy Cig shows more tolerance and resilience toward the media and unabashedly understands the 'entertainment' aspect of major sports for Universities' bottom lines, which can become top lines for endowments, etc...Cig has the Knight (and John Wooden) prep in practice ways and means of winning that few coaches do.
I always thought so but we never could get recruits. If we can get recruits there no difference in other regards. Indiana high school football is better than most. Not elite but pretty good
Yes it’s like West Virginia, nobody cares about the place and nobody is from there so it sticks out as a novelty. Wear a Texas, UNC, Ohio St, and there’s nothing because no novelty
The game has become all about the money. Sad for this old player/coach/fan, but true. Look for 2 x 20 team super-conferences. TV has the money, and they will call the shots. Winning draws eyes and elevation. Enjoy the moment.
Stay in your lane IU! He’s not necessarily doing this so it’s sustains I will take an ass kicking from you guys this year if it means that loss helps build our program and bring it back to being relevant every year Trust me, it sucks to be irrelevant after success. You should know just check out your basketball team. I have no problem with you guys having a good season but don’t act like you’re gonna be a player every year now. These things take time. And by the way, any coach would go to LSU to win the national championship once
Well also theyll finacially pony up for him and his staff. Dolson will give him the upgrades whatever he wants. He is a "team builder" not a stepping stone coach. He'll remember these blue blood schools that didnt even give him a look, and IU did. The guy also stated his wife absolutely loves Bloomington, unless someone offers him 15-20 mil at 63 which they wont i feel good about his stay.
Love this comment. Good insights here guys. Bloomington is legit a good place to live. I know many people that live there. And yeah money wise, the guy already hit these bonus that pay him hundred thousands more and his staff got a bonus 2. IU will pay because everyone now’s see the Saban effect making Alabama admissions double. Plus all the football revenue.
He has ties to Pennsylvania and Alabama . If he's smart, he will use his leverage and leave. Nothing personal , but Curt is MR football now on a national stage. If IU goes' 7-5 , 6-6 , and 6-6, the next 3 years, he won't be getting the publicity like he's getting now. Look at Iowa State and how hot Matt Campbell was a couple years ago.
Maybe at Alabama 6-6 wouldn't fly. We are talking about IU. Winning seasons are rare. He wouldn't be run out. They would build him a statue...lol!@@christophernash1846
Your arguments are weak fan boy stuff. Nobody cares that you and twelve of your friends drink whiskey coffee in the morning. Certainly not Cignetti. I do hope he stays.
@@mcraft2240money is king and there is a hell of a lot of it in Bloomington. Money isn’t the issue IU certainly has it and can fork it up if they need to
You can be a legend. How much does that pay? Florida has millions, unlimited talent to recruit, and no snow. Enjoy this year. He fits IU great, but unless you found the unicorn that wants no money, he'll remember you fondly.
IU is richer than Florida man. Hate to break the news for ya. Becoming a legend is way cooler than money. It’s having a purpose and a home. Cigten. That my opinion but I think that’s his to from what I heard
So, not to be a Debbie Downer, but even if IU beats OSU and goes on to do great things, what makes you think Cignetti would remain this successful? They're playing a modified version of an offense you don't normally see in big time football so people haven't caught up. It's like when a back up QB comes in and is a different style than the starter and they look good for a while, maybe even a whole season. However, teams get them figured out soon and then they're much less successful. Dunno, I just see a coach using a "different" (don't wanna call it gimmicky), but I don't see something that will have sustained success. Regardless, grats on the season and it's nice to have a fresh team in the picture.
Okay this one isn’t a dumb comment. There actually insight here. I don’t have that answer because I don’t have the actually tape. I don’t see there offense as a gimmick tho
@@BeersBytheIvy Yeh, not gimmick but a variation of the spread and triple option not usually used by Power 4 schools. So I'm just guessing that it might be something that works more now than it might next year for example. Could certainly be wrong, but typically new and fresh takes on things are better at first while people are still catching on, than they are a year or so later. Regardless tho, he's doing a hell of a job. If it was a simple as just creating a new version of an offense, lots of coaches would be doing it over the years. I'm not saying he's bad, not at all, just saying....how do we know that next year it'll be similar success?
Watched the whole video but didn't hear any reason why Cig would stay other than you think IU is cool. But I'd temper your enthusiasm with this: When you bring in 31 players via the transfer portal...and almost half are from a very good JMU team...that isn't the way to build a program. I've lost count of the number of IU fans who constantly put UK down for their one and done basketball program....yet the very same folks don't see IU has done the very same thing!
Haha IU is cool tho. Really appreciate you checking out the video! My main thing is that he can build a legacy at IU and IU is primed for it. Facilities, budget, Fans. To your comment, I like cals one and done, then everyone copied him. I’m not hating on KU I got a new video coming out that breaks down how cignetti has been successful so far. Hope he keeps it up. Been fun.
Keep dreaming...Curt Cignetti shook my hand and said he wanted my son to sign w Elon...he announced after the whole class signed for Jame Madison. He will leave for a better job...count on it.
I’ll gladly trade you two coaches and a player to be named later for Curt! He’s in his sixties and has another decade or so to achieve his goals. It’s going to cost USC a fortune to unload Riley, just as TA&M bought out Jimbo for the same amount. USC may be at that point. We have a great head coach on staff in Matt Entz, but Matt or Curt would be a better fit for the Trojans. My best drinking days are behind me, but you did an excellent job marketing Indiana. 🍺✌️
Bro you're so naive. Cignetti is GONE. IU will never be able to match the money, facilities, reputation, tradition, etc. that the big programs have to offer.
Have you read any other comment. There like 100 of them explaining that IU is a giant when it comes to financials. The facilities are already there. And if he goes to Florida State he’s just another coach renting his time there. IU he has a home and it’s his. Thanks for the comment. Good to have some going against the grain here.
He's gone after there last game..matter of fact he'll have card board boxes in his office by Christmas ready to be packed. It was fun IU while it lasted

The change he has made in 1 year. Amazing freakin story ! A legend in the making. GO HOOSIERS
Great comment. It’s been an incredible run. And it’s not lucky it’s a system. Systems aren’t lucky.
IU has won national championship in basketball, soccer and swimming. Now it's time for one in football! Go IU!
Let’s go!!!!!
Yep, he goes to a bigtime program and he's just anther good coach who won a championship. At IU he's a genius and a legend admired by all of the college football world for what he was able to do.
That’s what I think. Minus Ohio state and Michigan. It’s viewed as impossible. Not counting the new schools
IU gonna have to cough up some money for him then. He’s getting paid 1/3 some of the other top coaches.
“Just another good coach who won a championship” Really??? That’s the pinnacle of coaching, that hundreds of coaches have tried to reach. Give me a break.
Lol, that's precious. No offense, you're living in a delusional bubble.
@@grantwlmsthey definitely have the money. A little known fact about the Hoosiers is their NIL paradise.
He's the 49th highest paid coach in the nation. I think we need to double his salary and start working on the stadium.
Yeah that’s going to change or he will leave
Enjoy him while you have him. Programs with money and tradition will court him. No coach or player is safe anymore!
Hold your horses. Think about how he changed the team. 31 players wore a different team's jersey last year. Almost half were JMU players. IU's quarterback is gone after this season and how many of the JMU players will have used up their eligibility?
Cignetti could build a DYNASTY here at IU.

So, not to be a Debbie Downer, but even if IU beats OSU and goes on to do great things, what makes you think Cignetti would remain this successful? They're playing a modified version of an offense you don't normally see in big time football so people haven't caught up. It's like when a back up QB comes in and is a different style than the starter and they look good for a while, maybe even a whole season. However, teams get them figured out soon and then they're much less successful. Dunno, I just see a coach using a "different" (don't wanna call it gimmicky), but I don't see something that will have sustained success. Regardless, grats on the season and it's nice to have a fresh team in the picture.
Okay this one isn’t a dumb comment. There actually insight here. I don’t have that answer because I don’t have the actually tape. I don’t see there offense as a gimmick tho
Cig offense change per the players and his coordinator been with him for 5+ years. I just made a new video on this
@@BeersBytheIvy Yeh, not gimmick but a variation of the spread and triple option not usually used by Power 4 schools. So I'm just guessing that it might be something that works more now than it might next year for example. Could certainly be wrong, but typically new and fresh takes on things are better at first while people are still catching on, than they are a year or so later. Regardless tho, he's doing a hell of a job. If it was a simple as just creating a new version of an offense, lots of coaches would be doing it over the years. I'm not saying he's bad, not at all, just saying....how do we know that next year it'll be similar success?
Watched the whole video but didn't hear any reason why Cig would stay other than you think IU is cool. But I'd temper your enthusiasm with this: When you bring in 31 players via the transfer portal...and almost half are from a very good JMU team...that isn't the way to build a program. I've lost count of the number of IU fans who constantly put UK down for their one and done basketball program....yet the very same folks don't see IU has done the very same thing!
Haha IU is cool tho. Really appreciate you checking out the video! My main thing is that he can build a legacy at IU and IU is primed for it. Facilities, budget, Fans.
To your comment, I like cals one and done, then everyone copied him. I’m not hating on KU
I got a new video coming out that breaks down how cignetti has been successful so far. Hope he keeps it up. Been fun.
Keep dreaming...Curt Cignetti shook my hand and said he wanted my son to sign w Elon...he announced after the whole class signed for Jame Madison. He will leave for a better job...count on it.
Yeah that’s a tough story. After today game. I now really think he stays. But thanks for sharing what you experience. Interesting perspective
I’ll gladly trade you two coaches and a player to be named later for Curt! He’s in his sixties and has another decade or so to achieve his goals. It’s going to cost USC a fortune to unload Riley, just as TA&M bought out Jimbo for the same amount. USC may be at that point. We have a great head coach on staff in Matt Entz, but Matt or Curt would be a better fit for the Trojans.
My best drinking days are behind me, but you did an excellent job marketing Indiana. 🍺✌️
😂
Yes
Bro you're so naive. Cignetti is GONE. IU will never be able to match the money, facilities, reputation, tradition, etc. that the big programs have to offer.
Have you read any other comment. There like 100 of them explaining that IU is a giant when it comes to financials.
The facilities are already there.
And if he goes to Florida State he’s just another coach renting his time there. IU he has a home and it’s his.
Thanks for the comment. Good to have some going against the grain here.
Awesome fans?? The ones that leave at half every game, up until the last several games. Even coach Cig had to call them out this year.
If you led the World in losing games you would’ve left early for the bars too.
Things have changed
I agree with Shannon. Things change. Part of it is nobody left on Saturday.
He's gone after there last game..matter of fact he'll have card board boxes in his office by Christmas ready to be packed. It was fun IU while it lasted
Hey Eric, appreciate the comment. Would you take Ryan day or curt cignetti ?
@BeersBytheIvy Ryan Day no question
Dont count out WVU!!!
Love the heart to come into IU territory comment section and root on your team!
Until he does
Why leave?

Go IU!! Thanks for the comment
