Why is it that Cignetti can come in and turn a program like Indiana around in the 1st year? Then, that turned around team absolutely humiliates Nebraska. Nebraska who spent a pile of cash on a "premier" coach...only to get out coached and out played.

At least with Frost I expected crap and was never disappointed. Unfortunately I sipped the kool-aid a bit. But, I am done. This group of coaches is horrible....but we are stuck with them.

Will not be surprised if they lose-out and miss a bowl again. This will definitely affect recruiting...with good reason.

When a group of non-serious men go up against a group of very serious men, a bludgeoning typically occurs.

I suspect they lose out. This team and coaching staff. So embarrassing and pathetic. Chalk up another loss to whisky and Iowa. Iowa continues owning Nebraska. And UCLA will beat NU

Cignetti understands the current climate, you have to win now and can flip your roster in a single year. Rhule is living in pre NIL times, when you hope to turn it around in 3 years.

I am not sure the chemistry on this team is great. The constant moaning by Rhule about how he wishes the rest of the players on the team could be more like Dylan is wearing thin
There is a lot of kowtowing by this staff to Dylan and the Raiola’s

Yes they do need to be more like him. He comes in early and stays late , it means something to him.

But I was told you can’t build a team with NIL and the portal. That you have to build from the ground up with young guys and years in the program and culture.

That may be so, but the whole NIL era is about kowtowing to players. It is up to a coach to keep everyone happy. I agree, the chemistry is off, it's a bit unnerving that Rhule may lose the team this week or next.

I think its science. Leech designed a system around numbers and space, and while he never really worked on defense, his offense lit thing up and set up a new coaching tree. I bet somewhere down the line we will read how Cignetti had a genius advantage from some system he concocted now that others won't discover until a few years from now.

Because the decision makers once again overpaid for a questionable hire instead of forking over whatever it cost for a proven winner

Negative. Rhule has significantly used the transfer portal and NIL

I heard that again in the press conference today. He really seems to be going over the top too not upset DR.

Indiana’s coach looks old-school to me, like if you ain’t getting the job done, you’ll get a foot up your *** versus Matt rule giving you a hug.

Committing in totality to either method will only get you so far. The key is knowing WHEN to smack *** and knowing WHEN to hug.
