Cig Agrees to New Contract!

[RegionHoosiers]

I am not questioning his coaching ability. When I see his recruiting, however, I see only one 4 star athlete and the rest 3 and 2 stars. Same paradigm as the past. When you have middle of the road recruits results are often the same.

I like winning games more than counting stars

Time will tell.

Well be sure when you count 1 through 10 successful years that you start with this year as #1. Very big difference in coaches working with all talent. Which is why this season is #1.

We have a one year sample of his coaching with the "one 4 star athlete and the rest 3 and 2 stars" and IU hasn't lost yet.
Let's say your right and 10-0 isn't sustainable with those "middles of the road" players, I would be ecstatic with next year being 7-3 or 8-2 at this point of the season. IU isn't Alabama................ yet!

Also, wasn't CCC heavily involved with recruiting at Alabama? IIRC, Saban gave him credit with helping him early on at Alabama.

Yes, Cig was recruiting coordinator when they got the Julio Jones class that vaulted Alabama into the Natty a couple years later. He knows how to get the kids.

Nope. Not too shabby.

Where Cig is different is his focus on productivity. He gets guys that produce, not just any 2* or 3*.

With the transfer portal, he can execute this approach with precision. He can scour the JMU's of the world or MAC kids entering the portal looking for a larger platform.

The WR and RB group on this year's team showcases his strategy and how effective it can be....
