indiana football The Big Noon Kickoff crew praised Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti for engineering one of the most impressive turnarounds in recent college football memory. Urban Meyer noted that Cignetti’s “winning DNA” stems from his previous success at James Madison and his old-school approach to player development.
Brady Quinn highlighted Cignetti’s ability to create instant buy-in from players: “He came in, set the tone, and made everyone believe Indiana could actually win.” Matt Leinart and Mark Ingram agreed, calling Cignetti’s leadership style “demanding but inspiring.”
Indiana’s newfound intensity, especially on both lines of scrimmage, reflects Cignetti’s philosophy of building from the trenches. The result? A rejuvenated program earning national respect week by week.
