KoB2011 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 1 hour ago, IUCrazy2 said: I just saw that pop up in my feed. Diamond was responding to someone who posted that and said, "Hey, glad so many of you liked that but I actually got in trouble for it." He is still pretty supportive of IU and makes that clear further down, he thinks the school needed to do some things to help the program though. Pretty interesting read through if you click on that and have a Twitter account so you can see everything. Such an absurd thing to get in any trouble for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haines from Ohio and played at Ball State. Presides over top 10 defenses. His fronts get after you. Shanahan. Top 30 offenses. Well regarded from everything I’ve heard. Sunseri. Was an analyst at Bama and worked with Tua. Smart and energetic. Staff is huge. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuswingman Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) I am assuming all will keep same positions they had but at higher salaries here. Either JMU isn't wanting to promote from within or IU is out-spending them to steal more of their staff (or his assistants just believe in him so much they want to follow along) Edited December 1, 2023 by iuswingman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If IU can keep a good mixture of the portal guys mixed with some of the JMU talent… I don’t see why IU can’t win 6+ next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked at our schedule consistently over the past 10-15 years, and each year I have the same thought. “No reason we can’t win 6+”…and, almost every year, we don’t. I’ve just been so beaten down by the program over the years that I’ll have to see the evidence before I can reliably predict such things again. I am really hoping the tide turns in our favor this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 I can't believe I'm getting to type this. After reading about Coach Cignetti, his background, the guys he coached/developed into NFL, ties to Bama/Saban and what he's done at every step of the way I finally can say this. If he doesn't have success here then it's IU's fault. Whatever needs to be done by fans, donors, administration, NIL, etc....this guy has won everywhere so if it doesn't happen here it's on IU. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 I like that he is planning on bringing OC, DC, and QB coach with him. There might be some more staff coming as well but that'll need to play out a little more. I'm still hoping Bostad returns too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if he doesn't come as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson took OSU to overtime as I recall. Allen got within a TD another time. Odds we break through against OSU during CCC’s tenure? I am calling that he gets at least one win against each of OSU, UM and PSU during his tenure. Step one. Don’t fear it and embrace it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if you take away built in advantages but simply focus on coaching, CCC ranks pretty high in the B1G. Would only take a few guys over him for our particular job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
