How did Indiana go from zero to hero?


In Cignetti's 1st year his assistant pool was smaller than Fleck's. Look it up.

Most of his assistants are long time staff. He got them paid when he had the power.

People writing this off as only money are just blind to reality.
Almost no one is arguing that. Coaching, development and money all played a part. Places like MN and Indiana need all three to be highly successful in today's game.
 


That is definitely a big thing Fleck struggles with. At least some continuity would be beneficial.

That's why I believe Fleck sticks with both Harbaugh and Collins. It allows them to grow into the role (with major bumps in the road) and hopefully stick around like a Phil Parker at Iowa. Fleck had KC on his staff for a long time and it showed. Same with Rossi to a lesser extent.
 




Before Cignetti, they had 2 winning seasons since the 2000 season!

Now they have two seasons of 11-2 and 13-0! Number 1 ranking and the top dog in the playoff! This is like NCAA video game stuff!

Did Mark Cuban and Little Pink Houses give the football team all of their money?

Why can’t Minnesota do something like this?
they know how to recruit, coach to no end. what a staff.

I think that’s our best bet, to have guys that have been with Fleck for awhile and are loyal so are willing to get paid less to stay.
