Curt Cignetti, who led James Madison to a national title-game appearance at James Madison in 2019 and has seamlessly guided the program's transition to the Football Bowls Subdivision level, has emerged as a top target at Indiana Universty.

The Hoosiers fired former coach Tom Allen last weekend after a dismal 3-9 season in which attendance plummeted and the team's offense was among the worst in Power-5 play.

While Indiana has talked to and vetted numerous candidates -- most notably, Jason Candle of Toledo among them -- it has this week zeroed its focus on Cignetti, a sitting head coach with 13 years' head coaching experience.

Sources familiar with the IU search told FootballScoop Wednesday evening that Indiana's leaders in the search had informed candidates that they "were prioritizing people with significant head-coaching experience."

Candle also has been a long-time head coach at Toledo; he's won 65 games in eight full seasons running the Rockets.

Cignetti had James Madison undefeated until a late-season upset-loss against Appalachian State, and his program also developed into a national storyline as it sought permission to both play in its conference championship game and receive bowl eligibility.

Typically not an issue for transitioning programs, JMU was bowl eligible a year ago in its first transitional season as an FBS program and climbed to No. 18 in the AP Top 25 this season before its loss to App State. 

Additionally, Cignetti has significant experience as a Power 5 assistant head coach, and he won a national championship as an assistant coach under Nick Saban at Alabama.

Cignetti has won six conference coach of the year honors in three different leagues.

From the other board:

Rabby just released the info to Peegs that I said this morning Candle, Hart, and Chryst will meet in person. Herman and Creighton would be next, then Frye. 

Some people's posts are becoming unhinged as well. Take a deep breath.
