This is a pick your score game for Indiana. Sometimes this might be a letdown spot, but I don't think MSU is good enough to take advantage, and Cignetti doesn't seem the type prone to a letdown.
Probably just showcasing how dumb rating the hires is, when done at the time. These two were part of the same hiring class, and I'm guessing everyone rated MSU's hire as better
Indiana 45, Michigan State 14

8 year extension for Cignetti, making him the 3rd highest paid coach in the sport
-
Indiana really getting serious.

hoops program gonna tank

I'm just gonna sit here hoping that he was actually just a flash in the pan, and will fizzle out and saddle them with a massive buyout when they fire him--or keep him because he's actually mediocre rather than outright sucky, but is too expensive to fire.
I'm a little bit worried he's the real deal, though...
-
well, if he can cash those large checks and still win, that'll be the test.

Expecting to win is a very strange feeling. Even in the “good” years I never felt comfortable going into an IU football game, even against an FCS team.
Someone made the point on IU’s 247 football page the other day that we are bowl eligible and no one even really seemed to notice. In years past that would’ve been cause for major celebration. This year everyone is focused on the playoffs. So strange.

they got that Mark Cuban money....
his buyout is now $93 million fully guaranteed however. yikes.
i think the dude is a rockstar stud coach- but anything can happen in cfb and that's a shit ton of cash to fully guarantee.

Michigan, OSU, and Penn State ARE DONE - Indiana Is The New Top Dog Of The Big 10 After Hiring JMU's Head Coach Curt Cignetti
Great find my bent Michigan coorespondent I like the comments
"I can't laugh long enough or loud enough at this post..."
"The number of people in the comments that just can’t grasp the concept of satire is astounding…. Can all of you people vote..?"
"Indiana? You've got to be joking. They could hire Jesus Christ and still not compete against those schools"
"As a long suffering IU I can confirm that Indiana will fuck this up"
"Guy can't even beat NDSU, yawn"

Might not have anymore coin for players,Cignetti had had some good QBs ,he knows how to pick them

What's the worse that can happen? He flames out and Indiana sucks? Literally all options besides giving him whatever money he wants would lead to that.

Those coins come from different pots.

That right there tells me Cignetti is the best.
He wins.
Google him.

yeah you're probably right, Pete Finebum is a moron so whatever he says I've come to expect the opposite.
-

Stephen A. Smith: "Did Indiana make the right move with Cignetti?"
Paul Finebaum: " They did not...I'm still not convinced that Curt Cignetti is one of the top coaches in America."
Cignetti is better at what he does than those two tossers.If they fell into a pool of tits they'd come up sucking their thumbs

I remember when another coach shot out of the gate was 8-0 and got like $90M guaranteed as the B10 school played defense from potential SEC offers.
The air sure came out of that balloon in a hurry. Here's hoping for a repeat!
Though I think things will normalize, he's a helluva tactician and I can't imagine him nosediving like ol' Mel.
-
Mel could star in Dumb and Dumber IV
-
Even ignoring the results, this is a poorly coached football team in the fundamentals. Yes, Cignetti is doing well in the portal, but they also have total buy in and do all of the little things. MSU can't even tackle in a phone booth

Mendoza stat line is ridiculous rn....
24 of 28, 332 pass yards, 4 TD v. 0 INT, and 11.9 YPA.
Sheesh.

FG for the cover.

Almost identical to Sayin’s’ today.

Closer than last year's contest.

Heismendoza?
-
Very weird they had him in and passing late in the 4th
-
Heismendoza?
he's the clear cut leader at halfway point in the season. obviously things can change but if he just keeps up what he's doing- he's winning that award imo.
