    I guess they're giving him enough rope that the momentum snaps his neck, won't be able to get an analyst job in Canadian college football soon enough, if that's a thing.

    They don't play in the SEC, so they can just show up, give no effort, and cruise to victories. He would never make it here.

    He's doing great, but today was nothing to brag about. Michigan is 5-5, 3-4 in the Big Ten. Indiana hasn't played a ranked team this year, and only has 1 on their schedule. Today was the worst that they have looked all year. I expected a bigger spread, as they have been blowing teams out.

    Indiana has no recruits and has never done anything in football, but being 10-0 means nothing? How about this: the Elon team had a 4–20 conference record and suffered through six straight losing seasons prior to Cignetti's arrival, but in his first season the squad won eight games in a row after an opening season loss to MAC champion Toledo. They played for the conference championship and were selected for the NCAA Playoffs for the first time since 2009. Cignetti was named CAA coach of the year and was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year. In 2018, Cignetti led the Phoenix to a 27–24 win over James Madison, ending JMU's 22-game CAA Football winning streak and then FCS-best 19-game home winning streak. The win marked Elon's first over a top-five FCS opponent. The Phoenix earned back to back NCAA playoff appearances for the first time in program history.

    In his first season at James Madison, the Dukes had a seven-game improvement over the prior season, finishing 14–2 and advancing the team through the playoffs to an appearance in the National Championship game where they would lose to North Dakota State. JMU completed the revised 2020 covid season with a 7–1 record and advanced to the Semifinals of the playoffs.

    Every coach that gets brought up (kiffin, cignetti) gets crapped on around here, often tied with defending three losing seasons from our coach. There is no sure thing hire (hell, I had no problem with the Billy hire), but the above sounds like an interesting coach to consider.

    You edited out the part where he said "He's doing great." Nowhere did he say "being 10-0 means nothing." Objectively assessing Kiffin and Cignetti is not crapping on them. Nobody is defending three losing seasons from our coach.

    I'm not going to bother responding if all you are going to do is strawman. I said he's been great and blowing teams out.

    DeBoer was an unknown to almost everyone when Washington hired him. There are sleepers out there but no guarantees. Cignetti may be happy at IU.

    At some point Billy may be able to coach UF up to a winning record. That may be our ceiling with this Pres. and AD.
    I have some long time friends who are engineers from Ga. Tech who are content with the occasional winning season and the occasional upset win over say Miami. I've never understood that contentment but I sense I may be forced to adjust my thinking.
    Whatever, I still say Go Gators, just not very loud.

    I dont think anyone is content. We have no pres and the buyout is hige. Its easy to say write the check but actually writing that check probably stings a bit no matter who you are. I dont ecpect teams to pay the crazy buyouts every 3/4 years. Many teams will ride it out.
