Google Me: Curt Cignetti explains Indiana football's instant success | Big Ten on NBC Sports

[@joemeehan9329]

What a man and coach. He took his time, learned well and grabbed the opportunity. Whether it be IUP or IU, he is a winner with an approach and philosophy for a football organization. A lot goes in to being a head coach, and Curt has learned and applied in his career. We as Hoosiers are grateful and ecstatic for what he is producing. Let's hope it continues for years to come.

one of the greatest stories in college sports history - thank you Coach Cig...he's a well practiced and tried comprehensivist...few HC hires are there or ever get there, which you can tell by their interviews...this hire will change the market search for a lot of D1 HC searches!

[@actrade1]

Purdue fan here…rooting for Cig, 100% opposite of what we have. He’s an old school, no nonsense coach that is a coach, not trying to be friends with the kids like Ryan Walters. IU is everything Purdue is not, starting with discipline and accountability.

[@jeff6899]

Purdue Fan as well. Dad was first team all conference there & winner of Best Student Athlete there in '50,. Grew up a Purdue fan. You speak some truth. I greatly respect what Coach Cig has done--but I would never root for IU. Purdue all the Way...

[@gheller2261]

Why did you come to Indiana? Well, I was about to turn 63, they told me they would pay me $4 mil a year as opposed to the $677,000 a year at JMU and the $75k a year I was paid at the D2 level and I thought to myself, hmh, maybe I should consider this.

[@bradrainier106]

Simply amazing what he’s done. He just got the BEST start EVER for IU football. Phenomenal & in his FIRST YEAR!!???

[@bradhooten6836]

@@natetruex3972he was making less than a million dollars at JMU. At IU he’s making around $6 million this year and playing some of the best competition in college football. The highest paid coach is at OSU in the B1G. IU will be able to pay him $10 million a year if that’s what it takes. You sound like you love JMU but they’re not on this level.

[@jadklein04]

​@natetruex3972 no they didn't

[@thedankpanda8995]

@@jadklein04As a JMU fan he definitely did, but Indiana has the funds to keep him around, and also has the pedigree and amount of fans to become a powerhouse. Cliché to say now but IU football has always been a sleeping giant. Just takes the right coach to wake them up

I'm glad he's our Head Coach! Let's Go Hoosiers!

[@travismull944]

I hope he stays at IU.

[@jrichey73]

This guy is impressive. Humble and Hungry. Focused on the process & the inputs. Talented players migrate to this type of leadership. His mentality reflects the time he spent under coach Saban

[@thetacticalchristian]

I am a fan of this guy. As a Notre Dame fan I am so excited for the state

[@Apache32D]

Hoo Hoo Hoosiers !

[@TheGazaMethodChannel]

Bloomington is a gorgeous city. Southern Indiana is a diamond. I hope Cignetti and his family stay forever and we can put a statue of him sitting next to the statue of Herman B. Wells in the campus woods-as Cignetti has the same ethos as Dr. Wells! Go IU!!!

[@swatisquantum]

I see a Saban like coach. Just my gut. Wonderful man. Love that he’s in the Big Ten. I follow Michigan games and I hope they go all the way!

[@brucemcgraw2265]

Im listening to this as a michigan fan............and we re screwed and i mean the big ten is now on notice. I didnt know he was a pupil under saban. My other favorite head coach. This explains ALOT. We re going to rolled Saturday

[@MarcB-pu1rw]

Absolutely a homerun with the hiring of Coach Cignetti.

[@JesusisLordAmentothat]

Trying not to be Captain Obvious here as a Seminole fan, but there is a huge difference between FSU's HC and this one. You can tell Cigs is on a different level. Interesting to witness. Happy for Coach Cigs. I'm rooting for him.

[@MissionForward3]

Cignetti would be a great military leader.... And that makes sense... Football is ground acquisition warfare.... Cignetti is the general... Just like Bob Knight.

[@dgim8016]

right on perception

[@nighttray1489]

Nebraska fan here. Indiana couldn’t be luckier to have him as the head of their problem than the Used Car Salesman we have.

[@billeadie6059]

No self imposed limitations! This guy reminds me of Bob Knight a little bit. And I remember him as a student at Indiana University.
