IU coach Curt Cignetti, coordinators and players talk Notre Dame loss

[@cranjismcbasketball1638]

Thank you coach, you've made IU a football school. The future is bright and the sky is the limit! ⚪️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴

[@burakodabasi6683]

Thank you for making us all proud, coach❤. Having a hoosier son like Anil makes me proud and happy. Looking forward to the next season. I will definitely purchase season tickets for my son and his girlfriend. Indiana Hoosiers!

[@cameronm2203]

i like this guy, no excuses, owned up to the facts. I am now an Indiana fan. Watch the consistency over time. Guy is a winner

[@thomascapshew4799]

Cig, you and the staff and the players make me proud to be an IU Alum! Excited about next year! Go Hoosiers!

[@natetill812]

Greatest year in school history. So many memories. Just like Haines said, we laid the foundation this year. Time to build off of our mistakes

[@robertsundance6680]

So proud of Coach Cig , his staff, the players, the fans for showing up, and Scott Dolson and the university for making the commitment!! I’ve been following IU football since Coach Mal’s ofer year in 1984. He was a great coach. I love Indiana University, what a great year this has been .

[@arrowguy_173]

A GREAT year for you guys. I was excited to see us play each other last night given your stellar pass game and good run D. Grew up with IU basketball and ND football - it was awesome to see an unusually stellar season for IU football. GO KNOCK OFF arrogant OSU next year.

[@vnvet2282]

Washington Alum. Like what Cignetti opened with, that part of life is learning how to deal with disappointment. Picked myself off the canvas more times than I can count in my 74 years. Have been on the IU sidelines all season, except when they gave my guys a beat down. Respect for IU and Cignetti. What a great year.

[@MingoThePoet]

Really all they need is to add some better offensive lineman talent and alittle more speed but they did a hell of a job this year

[@murphalicious1]

Keep fighting Cig. Thanks for the great year! Game should have been played in Indy with a 50-50 split of tickets.

[@petertonies4334]

No, the higher seeded teams are rewarded with hosting the first round games. That was an intentional and strategic component of the new playoff system - to capture authentic game day spirit and pageantry of college football. No system can be perfect. Congrats to Indiana on a great turn-around season! Notre Dame proved they belong with the higher ranked teams this year.

[@tomas746]

lol wouldn’t have mattered

[@michaelhackler6293]

Coach keep building the IU program. Merry Christmas. GODSPEED

[@michaelhackler6293]

NOTRE DAME will win the National Championship. But I'm thankful that Indiana had a spectacular season. He is a great coach.

[@MikeRoop-k1z]

Accordingly then Tennessee, Clemson nor SMU should have made the playoffs, as they all three lost bigger than IU did against their matches!

[@rcktshp4535]

All the hater's have not seen the last of this guy.

[@jamiq7228]

All the haters only breed more motivation, the future is bright. Herbstreit sucks, so does McDonghut, and NFL flopper McElroy! I want Cig more then another Coach in the country!

What a clown

[@Jjjjjssmm60222]

punts on 4th down in 4th quarter 8 minutes left down 3 scores, conservative loser

[@johnwayne6778]

His big mouth before the game. Karma

[@Bo-hb3eo]

I’m very impressed. Your coach is a class act. Some of your fans… Not so much. That’s how you act after a loss. No excuses. I was not A believer in Indiana before the game. But I think with leadership like this, Indiana may be OK. They never quit! Hoosiers can be proud of that.

[@browndogger32]

One could say that about any fan base or group in America. Not everyone represents a group of people the way the whole wants to be represented. To that point, your comment is dumb.

[@dutchislax14]

IU fans don’t know ball and can never handle success with class

[@johncherry6426]

from what i've seen notre dame fans appear to be worse at that

Corny coach, corny fans. I see a short stint in power conference tbh

[@shaunramsay3809]

Nice job with your arrogance and getting humbled

[@michaelmorris6406]

You know I don't usually dislike coaches. But this guy's a jerk. Bragging about scoring two touchdowns. With Notre Dame having their backups in there. And plaing a prevent. And this guy's bragging about scoring they let you score dude. They just wanted you to run clock they didn't know you were going to go balls to the wall. And then brag about it. You had no chance. I love IU you cuz I'm from Indiana. Course I'm from South bend and a Notre Dame fan. But this guy. Go Irish🍀

[@gregstickelmaier7546]

Yeah, ND didn't care at all they got scored on twice and botched an onside kick. So, why are you so hot over it?

[@tomas746]

@@gregstickelmaier7546imagine getting your shit pushed in and trying to salvage it with garbage time TDs lmao. That’s some loser mentality fr.

[@vikinghawk3358]

For an incredibly cocky coach , thought he handled it very well . Although he tried to spin a beat down with could have tied it in garbage time 😄

[@steeldragon1981]

We don't just beat top 25 teams, we lose spectacularly to them.

[@darrellsmith7985]

🤣🤣🤣 facts cig is a good coach, definitely was the coach of the year but do he talk a lot lol

[@Troy-fv9uq]

Indiana you’ll never make the playoffs again and either will SMU. SOS will never be downgraded again by future committee’s.

Did you hear how gracious Coach Cignetti was in the post game press conference. Don't insist on being an ass.

[@brandonshirey400]

I googled ND and they haven’t won shit since George Michael’s Faith was #1 and Diehard was in theaters. I have never seen a program with more do less.

Cig gave up with 10min left in the game 😅😅

[@dutchislax14]

He gave up way earlier than that- his team knew they were cooked early

[@jonmandel5068]

If he didn't punt and don't make the first down you give great field position to nd...he had no choice

[@TheZackski04]

@jonmandel5068 well 3 plays later and we were in the same spot he punted from lmao sooooooo hindsight he's a moron.
