Cig was like 62 when Indiana hired him

[u/Kopav → u/luis1972]

But he still had a lot to prove. Huge chip on his shoulder.

[u/khay3088 → u/Kopav]

Also, 62 is notably not 'late 60s'

[u/aure__entuluva → u/Kopav]

Yeah I got the exact opposite vibe from Whittingham. He committed so much of his life to Utah that I was sure he only saw Michigan as a paycheck. And fair play to him, I don't judge him for that, but Michigan shouldn't have hired him. Always got the feeling they thought it was a "safe" hire, but for me the ceiling was always looked like 8/9 wins, no playoffs, no big ten title.

The Mike Riley Special

[u/Slyp9 → u/Kopav]

Every coach hired to huge programs have a lot to prove. This makes no sense.

[u/case31 → u/Slyp9]

Thank you for considering us a huge program.

[u/Dimeskis → u/case31]

Ha! Fucking Christ…we are living in a completely different dimension. That or NIL.

[u/Mother_Frame6669 → u/case31]

Massive....well endowed.....program

[u/Nophlter → u/Kopav]

Unless you’re able to prove the existence of the chip on his shoulder, this is such a clear case of hindsight bias lol

[u/theEWDSDS → u/Nophlter]

[u/Lopoetve → u/Nophlter]

Anyone who shows up with “down with Michigan and Ohio state” and “google me, I win” has something to prove. Thus, chip.

[u/Boomhauer_007 → u/luis1972]

Early 60s ✅

Late 60s ❌

[u/A_Rolling_Baneling → u/Boomhauer_007]

Also Cig at Indiana is an outlier in like every possible metric. You just can’t compare any other situation to his

[u/letdownbytheAgs → u/A_Rolling_Baneling]

Boosters around the country are going to waste so much money chasing the next Cignetti

[u/Gottalaughalittle → u/Boomhauer_007]

Nailed it. There is a window.

[u/bokononpreist → u/luis1972]

Outliers exist in every model.

[u/inqte1 → u/bokononpreist]

Good coaches are outliers. There are plenty of bad younger coaches but when they suck, no one focusses on the age.

[u/purplespaz → u/bokononpreist]

You think Jerry kill

[u/Kraze_F35 → u/luis1972]

Cignetti is also a psycho

[u/nevuking → u/luis1972]

Damn, wow. 65 today. Less smoke and more sunscreen... everybody is looking younger than the old days. But I thought he was in his early fifties.

[u/Clitler73 → u/nevuking]

You haven't googled him before?

[u/ducksekoy123 → u/luis1972]

Cig is also like the greatest outlier and exception we’ve ever seen.

[u/wowthisislong → u/luis1972]

But he had the hate in his heart of a man half his age.

[u/ChandlerOG → u/luis1972]

Yeah.. I think everyone here is wrong. Cfb is just an anomaly that continues to not make sense. Also no /s
