Kurt “The Truth” Cignetti

[MacIrish75]

Y’all have to get why Cignetti acted how he acted. He’s the coach at IU. For football. Most of you probably haven’t ever been to an IU football game. I have. Plenty of times. For fucking free. It’s always been a diversion to do for 45 minutes until you go back to the tailgate to drink some more.

You fake it until you make it. IU hasn’t quite made it, but I respect the hell out of a guy like Cig to talk his shit and then own it when you get beat. He owned it in the postgame. I wish IU the best until our paths cross again.

Offense version of Pat Narduzzi

Yep on the fuckin nose

 

[Gladiator]

The look on Freeman's face when they shook hands at the end of the game said it all. I don't think Marcus is a particularly big fan of Big Pussy.

If I was MF, I'd have taken his knees out with a fake fall.
Coaches like Cig should be banned for life.

 

[MPClinton22]

Did he want Indiana to just quit? Is he pissed that he didn't quit? I don't understand what he's pissed about.

Dude he quit during the first 75% of the game until it was out of hand. He quit when he kicked a field goal with 4th and 5 in the red zone down 2 TDs. Only once he got a garbage time TD did he decide to “compete”. It is perfectly in line with his fake tough guy shtick

 

[IrishLax]

I actually don't really have a huge problem with him. He is the head coach at Indiana. You aren't gonna succeed there (especially year 1) without being a character of some sort.

Like Lax was getting at though, it's super dorky to be talking mad shit for weeks and then coach like you just don't wanna get embarrassed.

Exactly. If you want to be that guy, then BE THAT GUY! Chuck it all over the field! Run a fake punt! Do *something*…

 

[NorthDakota]

facts. Everyone is crushing this guy

Agree, this is all true

 

[IrishLax]

The guys were obviously paying attention to what he was saying in the media lol

 

[Gladiator]

MF tied for most wins -12- in a season.
BK In his 3rd year lost to Bama.
Holtz in his 3rd year beat WVU.
MF in his 3rd year.

Haha even the herb with the expression

Maybe in the future he will. Worth keeping in mind this is first year in big time football. As someone who goes to FCS games regularly, there are some good teams, atmospheres, and big moments....FCS/G5 is *different.* More people watched him coach against the Ohio State and Notre Dame than probably most of his career combined.

I mean...Sneed told no lies in my honest and unbiased opinion lmao

I went in undergrad for one reason and that was Antwan Randle El and they still sucked but he was a fun watch

Steelers legend

 

[Irish du Nord]

Nah man, it's true. He's a complete fraud. Anybody could take this powerhouse of a program and go 11-1.

He lost at ND by 10 points. What a fraud.

Garbage Time Curt! These big 10 teams must play their best when down 3+ scores in the 4th!

Fuck Joel Klatt. He took Indiana outright.

Hes the only NFL Indiana guy i know. Wait...Roger saffold or something like that?

Who you taking in the game tomorrow in Fargo? Round 1 was kinda weird and idk what to think about round 2.

It’s going to be a war. SDSU seemed to have found something offensively with Wilde. But playing up there is so freaking hard. It’s going to be tight either way.

Maybe because I'm old... but do we really want ND players talking like that about a coach in public?

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Talk shit, get hit.

 

[LifelongFan]

Let's see how this goes next year when they don't have his JMU guys and Rourke. I get the feeling the Big 10 will have some bones to pick with his loud mouth.

Why not? Cignetti can go on Gameday and run his mouth, but the guys who actually showed and up played can't? FOH.

I'm pretty old fashioned and wish they would keep this internally. That said, I'm not gonna bust anyone's balls on it. I'm not an 18-22 year old monster having a 60 year old man talk mad shit about me and the boys a couple hours before me and said boys dismantle his team on national television.

Your lexicon shows you’re not that old fashioned lol.

LMAO fair enough boss.

This is when Gillis redeemed himself with a coach Saban. I hope any curse on ND has been lifted, whether the boys win or lose the rest of the season.
