He is a winner for sure. But has a certain level of arrogance to be that blunt in interviews. If he gets blown out he is on the FTGOTY watch list for sure. Either way, the committee should have some representatives and the trophy on site for this match up vs Ryan Day.
I think it's OK at places like Indiana, WSU, Oregon State … you know, places that traditionally suck but pop every few years for whatever reason. I think most people take it for what it is, a coach of an outlier program saying "look at me, look at me" and taking the pressure off the players who are probably outkicking their coverage anyway.
Cignetti will be the next Fickell or Frost or Rhule … basically forgotten in a few years.
That's what I figured and probably a good move. Try to resurrect some dead program with sky high expectations like Florida or Auburn and almost assuredly fail or get multi-generational money and have the runway to regress back to mediocrity at Indiana and still be celebrated?

Dude is 63, no wonder he jumped at the chance to cash out…”Honey, we can buy the lake house now, and live there permanently in about 4 years”…

I mostly agree but it would be funny to see Indiana win a natty this season
UW losing to Rutgers and Cuog might keep Indiana from getting a playoff berth
