Cignetti in the SEC?

[Matt2496]

At this point, I think it’s safe to say he would do just fine in the SEC.

 

[AthensVol2007]

They beaten Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State. I think Cignetti will do just fine in the SEC. Remember, Indiana's defense is awesome and the Indiana offense is awesome!!

Not that it matters but he’s yet to play Michigan.

They beat Michigan last season.

It now makes sense, Ricky is Finebaum.

These goalpost moving numbnuts are hilarious.

Just hypothetical.

I know Cignetti has done well at Indiana (Incredible, actually - based on Indiana’s football history).

But, I don’t see ANY way that he could just step in and win like that in the SEC.

Especially in this age of NIL & the transfer portal. (I know those are Kiffen’s bread & butter, but even Kiffen hasn’t had Ole Miss ranked as high as Indiana)….

The BIG just isn’t as tough (Top to Bottom) as the SEC. Vandy’s stadium only holds about 40,000 - but still a tougher road game than Perdue. Minnesota? - Please…..

Every year there are about 10 or more SEC teams in the top 25 & maybe 4/5 from the Big 10.

Any thoughts?

He has 60 million reasons to stay at Indiana.

 

[General Jack]

Why? Because of one game? Beating an SEC team in the playoffs is one thing. Going through the SEC conference is a whole other. There is no guarantee that Cignetti would succeed in the SEC.

Urban Meyer's offense won't work in the SEC either.

 

[AthensVol2007]

My mistake. Forgot about that ****** UM team.

They beat Michigan last season.

 

[onevol74]

That changes everything….clearly Cignetti is garbage.

LOL!!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Cignetti would do well in the SEC.

However, I personally think he retires at Indiana unless he’s ego driven to try the NFL.

He doesn't look the type to me.

 

[knoxvol52]

And our SOS is literally what 50 spots higher than Indiana's?

Indiana wouldn't even come close to Bama, UGA, Oklahoma or Tennessee

Remind me again what was the score of the Rose Bowl game between Indiana and Alabama?

He won't reply unless Indiana loses. Then he'll say he was right.

And LOL saying they wouldn't come close to us, but then again he is claiming beating a 4-8 Florida team was a "big win".

I mean, the adult thing to do would be to acknowledge his opinion was dreadfully wrong.

H-UGA /Illinois
@-MS State /Iowa
H-Arky /Oregon
@-Bama /Michigan State
@-KY /UCLA
H-OU /Maryland
@-FLA /Penn State
H-Vandy /Wisconsin
& Purdue
I just don’t see how Indiana could handle the absolute rigor of this schedule……

I think the rigors argument comes more from who they played vs us. going off of pretty much every metric W/L, SoS, SoR, we would have been 7-2, or 6-3, against that schedule.

Indiana winning against our schedule, and Indiana winning against their schedule are two different arguments.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Inquiring minds are still curious.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Best coached team I’ve ever seen

 

[UTwild82]

Pretty sure he'd be beating all our azzes.

0-12, all of them.

Quality post right there.

 

[UTwild82]

Maybe Cignetti can coach after all.

Nope. Oregon is playing terrible because their coach is calling Leavitt on his headset mid game to lure him to Eugene next year.

 

[UTK]

Indiana could run the SEC if they moved conference with Cig lmao

This particular team would have won the SEC this year.

The average player for IND is 23yo
The average Greenbay Packer is 25yo.

The VOLS are the youngest roster in the SEC by a pretty wide margin

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Taking nothing away from IND or their coaching. They are amazing in all 3 phases of the game. So disciplined.

They are a team hand selected of productive juniors and seniors (5th year) from the portal. With the best QB by far in FBS

 

[marcusluvsvols]

All 3 mm phases. Just blocked the punt lmao
