Can Cig do what Drinkwitz did?

[IUCX9]

Can Cig get us to 11-2 like Drink did for Mizzou?

Both sunbelt coaches. Drink sure can recruit.

How well Cignetti evaluates talent will determine if he can do the same thing as Mizzou. I hope Cignetti does the job we think he can so we win eleven games soon.

I don’t think the situations are comparable. Missouri has a better history of winning. Gary Pinkel had already achieved 11 & 12 win seasons there. Cignetti has to do something that hasn’t ever been done here to achieve those kind of results. If he wins 11 games at IU I think that’s much more impressive than doing it at a place like Missouri which is more comparable to Iowa or Wisconsin. If Cignetti can have Gary Pinkel type success who had longer sustained success than Drinkwitz I’d be ecstatic.

This. If we can ever get to the place where 8 wins are expected year in and year out then Cig will have proven to be an elite college coach. I'm not convinced even a Saban or Meyer could get us to 11 wins on a regular basis.

And I want it to happen ... but don't want Saban or Meyer under any condition. Trail of used scholar athletes in their wake, I'd rather just watch NFL
