JMU coach moves on.

[Gallipoli]

It's official. Curt Cignetti has taken a position at Indiana. I did not realize he was there for 5 long years. He will not coach in their bowl game.

No surprise. You take a nobody to a somebody - making JMU a top program this year.

He reminds me of Shaka Smart. Great success at VCU, but nowhere else.

JMU knocked the last two hires out of the park. Lets hope the next one is closer to a Withers/Late Stage Mickey than a Houston/Cignetti. Tired of reading about the Dukebags beating up former FCS programs with half the budget they do thanks to student athletic fees and acting like their gods gift to college sports.

IMHO, JMU will revert to form once a new coach comes in. They will be more like ODU, which was the darling of the FCS.

 

[Eight Legger]

He is actually coaching their bowl game.

And he basically quintupled his salary, which at 62 is a pretty smart move. All these people who can't believe he would leave for Indiana don't seem to understand how money works.

 

[Gallipoli]

They are losing their QB . MCCloud has entered his name in the transfer portal.

You misspelled IMO.

 

[Gallipoli]

You misspelled IMO.

In My Humble Opinion, I could have used more formal English to express "In My Opinion". A better phrase may be "Just One's Humble Opinion", but I did not think people would understand JOHO, so I used IMHO. Who knew?

I see what you did there.

JMU was only paying him $677,000. They should have raised his salary.

I don't think they could have raised it to $5 million a year.

 

[Wood Hall]

No one who coaches in the Sun Belt Conference is going to turn down a Big Ten job. No one.

Especially a guy who is 62 and has likely finally cashed in big-time with a contract that will pay him generational money.

 

[CarolinaSpider]

Crazy that Keith Gill of the Sunbelt Conf.

Once he got past breakfast at Tiffany's, he has shown improvement.

Bob Chesney of Holy Cross a top target at JMU. Chesney was someone a few of us had pushed for UR in past.
