Best damn coach in College football
and its not even close
Imagine if he had OSU talent
and its not even close
Imagine if he had OSU talent
Still think Cignetti is lucky?
- Thread starter Ohana
- Start date
No excuses like Rhule makes. Fire another coordinator
Well OSU’s kicker just shanked a 20 yard field goal to tie it. So he had some luck.
Indiana missed an easy one earlier.
I think we’re supposed to bleat something about how he never could have done it without NIL and the transfer portal.
Well that’s probably true. The problem for everybody else is that we have it too. Wonder how much exactly Cuban is giving them.
They were 5cm from a loss in slappy valley, lets not pretend this was without some luck, shall we continue
Nebraska got fked bya receiver catching it 5yards out of bounds back in the day
How much NIL money would Cuban be giving them if they had hired some excuse-machine re-tread who filled his staff with buddies and went .500 last year?
OSU’s play calling in the red zone reminded me of our team this year. On one drive, 3rd and 1 at the 12, they tried a pass that fell incomplete. Then tried a QB sneak on 4th and came up short. Should have taken the points there. Then did the same thing on another red zone opportunity, failed pass on 3rd and 1, which put their kicker on the far right hash - not the easiest angle.
Indiana’s staff is more impressive than OSU’s.
Would you take the Hoosier DC right now over Rhule for HC?
I would take a trash can over Rhule
Cuban had no idea this guy would be this good. Nobody did.
Is he not playing under the same rules as everyone else?
You can beat Ohio State, Michigan, etc. at their own game, or you can sit around and make excuses. Good for Cignetti for choosing the former.
And what? OSU missed a kick to tie, DGAF about what happened earlier, Matt Copenhagenteeth
He brought players in.... Or you think these are IU players before he got there????
I think Indiana gambled and won the lottery. No doubt Saban gave him a great recommendation. I posted multiple times in our job search that I would be fine with a no-name coach from a lower tier. Had no idea who Cignetti was.
Yeah the fact that Cignetti couldn’t have won a conference title under rules that don’t exist anymore makes me feel sooooo much better about IU being light years ahead of the Husker “rebuild.”
We should also sit around and wax nostalgic about the good ol’ days when freshman were ineligible and no team could play on TV more than twice a year. Might as well go all-in.
This just shows that a coach that isn’t scared and can find and develop talent can still win without a massive NIL budget.
Who gives a **** where he got his players? Do Rhule and his band of buddies not have the same opportunity to find and develop players?
If dismissing Cignetti’s accomplishments makes you feel better about the sorry state of Nebraska football, you’re proving my original point better than I ever could have.
I saw that Indiana has zero 4 or 5 star players on the roster. Cig is an anomoly, 1 of 1. We can't compare other coaches to him.
The Husker coach that Cignetti reminds me of is Dave Van Horn. From day one he said he didn’t give a **** what the obstacles were, wasn’t interested in making excuses, and was taking the job to win championships. Of course plenty of guys say that, but not many walk the walk.
Whatever Mark is giving them, he's gonna give him more now.
Cig is going to get a lot of other coaches fired trying to find a coach like him.
Oh, the budget is going to change soon enough, everyone is susceptible to money enticement
Coaching matters and we don’t have good coaches so that’s what we will live with because the Nebraska higher ups couldn’t give a F about winning.
If this is your extremely weird way of asking if I think Van Horn was a great coach - then, yes. I tend to favor coaches who actually produce results, as opposed to overpaid slobs who pretend to be my buddy.
