I like winning games more than counting stars
Cig Agrees to New Contract!
- Thread starter Tammany Hall
- Start date
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.
$555,000 (JMU) to $8,000,000.
Indiana locks up football coach Curt Cignetti through 2032 with new deal
Indiana football has moved quickly to lock up coach Curt Cignetti to a new deal amidst the program's historic 10-0 start, details here:sports.yahoo.com
Ain’t too shabby.
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.
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....
Is it 9 million, or 8 million? Some articles say 8, "including a 1 million retention bonus", the others say 8, "plus a 1 million retention bonus" each year. Which would be 9 .
I assume some writers just don't know the english language. But I still dont know. How can an "average annual compensation be 8", but then have an extra million as well?
iuhoosiers.com says "eight-year contract with an average annual compensation of $8 million, as well as an additional annual $1 million retention bonus."

It's probably 8 per year, but there's a 1 mil bonus awarded if he's still the coach on some particular calendar day, likely well after the coaching carousel is usually done spinning (like, March or something).
I'm guessing here, but that kind of bonus seems designed to reward him for sticking around.
If so it's nine mil per year average then. Since it's always included.
It's not a 'make the CFP' get a bonus, 'win 9 games' get a bonus.
Maybe the only difference is they're saying the poaching buyout is the 8 mil average times remaining years. Not 9 time remaining. Since it's a 'bonus'.

Hard to say without seeing the contract. Some buyout terms may be linked to the remaining AAV, or not. Might just want to encourage loyalty with the prospect of a mid-six figure check (after taxes) coming down the pike.
This is a fair criticism, but a faulty analog. IU paid a market price for a head coach and staff with a proven record of success, and subsequently enjoyed the benefit of their investment.
I read CCC made $550k at JMU..and has realized $4M in a performance/incentive laden agreement. The new deal is worth $72Million...
The previous Coach had no Head Coaching experience, and nowhere near the amount of resources this staff has. Also no NIL or portal(auction) to build a team.
Apples and rutabagas.
