Show Notes
Curt Cignettis transformative coaching at Indiana, akin to Lionel Messis soccer dominance, led to a perfect 16-0 season and national title in 2025. Starting from a low of just nine wins in three prior seasons, Cignettis SP plus rating of 32.5 surpassed the field, marking a significant improvement over Indianas 20-year history. This remarkable turnaround, which included Indianas first Heisman winner, Fernando Mendoza, has sparked inspiration and debate among fans and analysts. In the 2020s, Cignettis performance, alongside surprise performances from coaches like Rhett Lashlee and GJ Kinne, has set new coaching benchmarks. As the 2026 season approaches, these coaching changes and coordinator swaps will shape projections, with teams like Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech poised for a comeback, while North Texas and Tulane face regression risks.
