I don't even remember Knight this cocky. Knight would rip the players but CCC is at a new level.Definitely undertones of Knightese.
Anyone with a link? I couldn't find it...much appreciated!
CCC better win. He can be easy for some people to dislike.Anyone with a link? I couldn't find it...much appreciated!
Right, somebody today got the Coyle treatment. (Mike Hall)Good interview and reporters will need to up their questions to make sure they are relevant to the team and fans.
"I came to Indiana to chew gum and kick ass.....and I'm all out of gum"I don't even remember Knight this cocky. Knight would rip the players but CCC is at a new level.
Indiana guy.no nonsense guy
My kind of fellow... I'll just be sure to never ask a foolish or redundant question of him and I'm certain we'll get along fine...CCC better win. He can be easy for some people to dislike.
Or when other big ten coaches take a look and go “this guy sounds like Scott frost, except instead of just stepping in it, he means it.”I want to see CCC when he finds out people stay in the grass lot and tailgate during the games. He might go out there at half and slap them around. Or if the students leave at halftime.
What's his position on the Bison?He’s already getting under the skin of several Boiler fans and hasn’t even coached a game yet. That’s how I know he’s going to do really well here.
True...Good interview and reporters will need to up their questions to make sure they are relevant to the team and fans.
I CRINGED during that interview with Query!!!If you havent heard it yet, he was also on the 93.5 radio interviewing with Jake Queery. Im sure you can find the interview on their website. Very good! He definitely uses coach speak, and hope he backs it all up! Ofcourse, I will hold judgments until I see the finished product on the field!
I think of him as being a bit like Boomer Esiason in his playing days. Extremely confident, bordering on arrogant, but he has good reason for the confidence.I don't even remember Knight this cocky. Knight would rip the players but CCC is at a new level.
This is the question. Time to bring back the bison.What's his position on the Bison?
It's strange, but I do find him likable. I say it's strange because I sometimes dislike this 'type'. But he keeps saying things that don't fit my frame of the type.Cignetti is definitely hard to like based off his interviews, but as long as he wins games I don’t care. He exudes confidence and I like that. ...
This^^^There isn’t a coach at this level (in any sport) who doesn’t have a level of arrogance to him and an ego to boot. Both are musts if you want to have longevity in this profession.
Focused, proud and brash. No shit down his neck. No need to replay this interview because I certainly don't have to read between the lines. Even more impressed with this HC after hearing him respond to probing Q's. He controlled the interview completely.
Cignetti is definitely hard to like based off his interviews, but as long as he wins games I don’t care. He exudes confidence and I like that. His arrogance may even surpass Kevin Wilson, but I just hope he can deliver. I can still recall KW didn’t even have this kind of confidence going into his first season. I remember one of his first interviews talking about his 0-fer season as head coach of a high school and he would have gone 0-fer in his first season here if not for the FCS opponent on the schedule. I like that winning is obviously important to Cig and I hope he can walk the walk.

Cignetti is definitely hard to like
I'm betting CCC doesn't give a good godd@m either way.It's strange, but I do find him likable.
You know all I need to see? The continuity of his coaching staff. His guys stick with him. If he was as difficult as he sounds, that wouldn’t be the case.CCC better win. He can be easy for some people to dislike.
Does anyone else remember when pretty much the entire staff that Kevin Wilson originally hired was gone in less that two weeks? Not a good sign!You know all I need to see? The continuity of his coaching staff. His guys stick with him. If he was as difficult as he sounds, that wouldn’t be the case.
Well that's the easiest bet ever.I'm betting CCC doesn't give a good godd@m either way.
Wasn't near all the staff although the turnover was high. The fact is IUFB at that time wasn't competitive in pay to assistants. The 1's that turned tail did so for better offers.Does anyone else remember when pretty much the entire staff that Kevin Wilson originally hired was gone in less that two weeks? Not a good sign!
Big difference.... some of CCC's guys have been with him for a while... one of them for 10 years... None of Wilson's had worked under him before IU... only beside him...Does anyone else remember when pretty much the entire staff that Kevin Wilson originally hired was gone in less that two weeks? Not a good sign!
Need to watch the interview with Rhett Lewis. Came across much less, let's say "arrogant" than the one with the press. Very impressed with how he is and plans to go about recruiting. Certainly plans to win this season. Not waiting to build.If you haven’t watched Cignetti’s press conference today, it’s a must watch.
