Imagine two years ago. Indiana went 3-9 and fired their head coach.

Fast forward two years they go 27-2 with a Heisman, Conference Championship, and a National Championship. Absolutely remarkable.

I like it when people boast before they have the resume. It's easy to say that when you're Saban on your fifth championship. To do it while not even 1 game into coaching fucking Indiana of all places is crazy.

He’s 147-36 (120-34 before taking the IU job). He already has a resume people just didn’t respect it because it was at lower level programs.

Also the intent was for the audacity to be a shot in the arm to the IU fanbase, and boy did it ever work.

Saban and Belichick would’ve looked stupid too with their antics if they weren’t winning everything in sight. Instead they won. Winning frames everything

I mean we all agree Belichick looked stupid wearing those sleeveless hoodies. We just chalked it up to 'eccentricities of a mad genius' because of the winning.

As someone wise said..

It’s not wrong to be cocky if you can back it up.

At the time, he had only backed it up at Elon and James Madison. And he was taking the reins of the perennial doormat of the Big Ten.

If he’d have been taking over OSU or Michigan, that would’ve been one thing.

Most people laughed at him. And with reason.

They’re not laughing now, but whimpering in terror.

The internet would have been absolutely clowning him if he didn't win

u/sum_dude44 Florida Gators Jan 20 '26

no one would remember him

Nah, but we would get that annual “TIL: University of Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti said “All I do is win, Google me.” He did not win.”
