Still think Cignetti is lucky?
- Thread starter Ohana
- Start date
The great thing about Cignetti is hopefully this will signal the end of the rebuild myth/grift.
Win now or GTFO. You're not getting spotted 3-5 years of cashing million dollar checks with no expectation/accountability vis a vis results.
You are under review, all the time, from day 1.

Are you shitting me??? For one cignetii there are insert number schools that didnt catch lightening, lol and these morons, my Lord
Was there an argument somewhere in that incoherent pile of letters and punctuation marks?
Im talking about things moving forward, not what happened this year or in recent history.
For the millions being paid, the expectaion level has not risen in tandem. Hopefully this will cause that to occur.
There were 74 schools that overpaid a coach according to your standards, get it, *****?
Are you capable of discerning the past from the future?
Im talking about a new standard of expectations moving forward. A standard based on Cignetti's accomplishments that will bring results-based evaluations to the forefront. A standard more in line with these absurd lottery ticket contracts/extension.
Is it even confirmed they are spending as much on their roster as OSU? I seem to recall this dude brought a couple dozen players with him from James Madison when he was hired.
Your #1 13-0 Indiana Hooisers... in college football. What a strange time to be alive. Congrats to Cig and the Hooisers.
I only wish my late Indiana superfan cousin was alive to see them this year. He's been gone for about a year now. Enjoy from Heaven man

cignetti sold his soul to the debil
Dude is a winner.
His former school in James Madison are still winners as well.
Guy can flat out coach. And deserves all the praise thrown towards him.
I'll be rooting for them to win it all. It is one thing to turn around a team with a squirt gun offense. It is entirely different when you can play elite defense like Indiana.
Cigs is why you fire coaches and hire a new one (You don't keep rhule or that iowa coach, for 30 years, hoping they figure it out)
NIL has shown just how much cheating really went on, we all knew it was a lot but now we know it was more than we ever thought.
Saban RAN once he knew what was coming. I don't blame him.

And here at Neb, we present .400 coach overall, and .500 at the college ranks- Matt Kenneth Temple Rhule. A rebuilder, who's claim to fame is taking Temple to a bowl. I present Utah, who is going to kick that lip licking, used car-salesman money-stealer into the next stratosphere. Predicted a crappy hire 3 years ago, and I am right. 19-19 Matt ( after the ***-kicking at Utah) and 112th recruiting class rebuilder legend, has proved me right and all of the homer rah rah non-educated dipshits wrong. Kiss my ***. Learn something about football and what coaching talent is before you post crap on this board.

Wow.
I learned so much football in your post.
You are amazing and likely coach your kid to little league titles en such.
We should be so honored you actually post on this site.
I know. i know. You already understood what a fraud Rhule is. He isnt even a fraud. He is a .500 coach and all of his low-leval staff are much the same. You get it. How many others do? Very few. That is changing now.
Okay, I will speak slowly and use small words.
The person I responded to said the reason OSU lost was because they missed a FG. I responded and said Indiana missed one too.
Uhhh…yeah. Name a college football program that is NOT using NIL or transfers.
Maybe, maybe not. Matt Campbell just got an 8-year deal from Penn State if I remember correctly. We just extended Rhule to pretty much get him back to his 8-year contract. For 2 programs that expect to win very quickly, that wouldn’t make sense.
Even Indiana fans weren't excited about the hire. But now this guy Cignetti is ruining fan discussion boards everywhere. And Texas Tech and their NIL ain't far behind.
One thing to understand was that Indiana football fans are a new thing. It was very much a basketball school. Here in Indiana I think it’s similar to your state where fans are ND football and IU basketball. Nobody even knew iu was having a coaching replacement.
People are crawling out of the woodwork as iu football fans. It’s pretty cool to see.
The Indiana turn around is arguably the greatest football and maybe college sport turn around in history. if people think we should expect Nebraska to keep hiring and firing coaches until we find our own cignetti, there’s a very real chance you’ll never see a similar result or something you think is acceptable.
Nebraska should absolutely study it. Learn from it. And try to achieve the same end. But firing a coach every 3 years because they didn’t do what cig did is an absurd standard. I also think more and more coaches will end up staying in current jobs. Everyone is making so much money now that the big programs really aren’t enough of a pay raise to have to deal with higher expectations and potential firings. To be clear: This is not a defense of Rhule. There’s a large gap between what cig did and what is happening in Lincoln.

Cig hit the jackpot, he was hired at the right time, why did it take him so long to be hired by a p 4 school? Isn’t he 60 something? Again Bill Snyder didn’t with jucos why didn’t a p4 school hire him 15 years if he’s the next Nick saban . Times have changed in college football and he was hired at the exact right time. Congratulations to him Winning the big 10 he out coached day but so did Coach Rhule in 24 we d have the ponies to finish the job. But don’t crown cig the greatest ever
Yeah, I don't think any rational fan expects Cignetti results exactly. That is clearly a one in million type deal. BUT, it does shine a pretty glaring light on the fact that fans can realistically expect a lot closer to that type of result with a good coach than what we have.
Actually Cignetti made eye contact with the kicker, glared at him…Game over, victory secured,etc etc etc.
It's the greatest turnaround ever and it's not even close. Can he sustain it like some of the other greats? That's still TBD. But no coach has taken that bad of a team and turned them into that good of a team in that amount of time. It's really pretty remarkable.
It doesn’t hurt when you have a billionaires buying players for him. I admit he’s a good coach but not the greatest, Devaney came to Nebraska in 1962 and he turned a losing team into a 9-2 record with no transfer portal or nil money. You tell me who Did a bet job?
Yet they likely do have a large NIL budget with Cuban and some other boosters.
A little before my time but I'm guessing Nebraska wasn't the second losingest program in college football history when he took us over?
Twenty years the only winning season was 1950 from 1941-1962 only one winning season, even Indiana had some success in a twenty year span
He wouldn't have liked Trev anyway. We don't know if he was contacted by Nebraska or not. All Cignetti would have to do if do a quick search of Trev Alberts and have a quick phone conversation to know you didn't want to be near him. I mean Rhule told him no but couldn't turn down the stupid amount of money that was offered. Nebraska doesn't have leverage to be incompetent and still get competent people...we don't offer anything another school doesn't offer, literally anywhere. The dichotomy of the fan base thinking we are a blueblood and deserve the best coaches while refusing to consider a no-name or lower division coach, while being in a talent desert and enduring a decade of misery continues to dig us a deeper hole. Eventually we have to just luck out and get somebody smart who has the political chops to convince the money givers that "change" is good.
