They really are going to just be a machine there, huh

crazy
Cigs figured it out first. You win with upperclassman across the board. He wants seasoned players. His starters are 22 or older. They can take coaching and they can cash checks by buying in. It’s a pretty good arrangement. Let the other schlubs work on development. He’ll bring them in after the fact.

Josh Hoover, TCU
I predicted that. Kid has a really good arm, quick release, gets rid of the ball quick, throws the short, medium and long ball well and has good wheels.

Only negative I seen was the 71/33 TD to INT ratio but I think Cig corrects that cause the kid tries to throw into narrow windows sometimes into double coverage.

Other than that, kids a total stud.

Curt Cignetti…

Something Matt Rhule knows nothing about.

There's just a tiny bit of risk here that Cig ends up murdering Hoover for throwing INT's. It's hard to get that risk-taker gene out of some guys.

I’ve been told many times Indiana has mark cuban backing them up, unless Nebraska get a big assed donor we’ll continue to spin our wheels no matter who The coach is, now every new coach is going to look at the bankroll and if your school doesn’t have it your not going to hire a top notch coach. College football is changed forever and not for the better. But eventually cignatte will have players that don’t pan out just ask bama and lsu , Georgia has come down after a nice run

You got proof or you just going to try to blow Matt more?

I was told year 3 was Rhule’s magic number. That was BullSh1+

Well. 2023 at Cal Mendoza was 14 TDs and 10 INT's
2024 at California Mendoza was 16 TD's and 6 INT's
2025 at Indiana Mendoza was 36 TD's and 6 INT's.

Seems like those INT's didn't seem to follow him to IND.

We’re all assuming Cignetti doesn’t take the NFL job offers that are rumored.

Why would you go to the NFL when you can have number one draft picks for your entire team every year?
You win a natty then you take your game to the grown *** mans league. Cigs>Saban with a Super Bowl win. Ego is everything.
