What does Indiana's victory over Oregon signify for their season?
That was exhausting. Doug Lameries and Bill Landis back on the Bill and Doug show. Thanks for joining us. Kurt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers move on to the national championship game against Miami. A complete dismantling of the Oregon Ducks. Is this the greatest example of coaching in the modern history of college football? Yeah, probably. What else would you even put up there? I mean, it's like turning around Alabama. Yeah. It was Alabama. Right. They had, like, previous success under, like, Bear Bryant existed, right? Yeah.
How has Kurt Cignetti transformed Indiana's football program?
And they won national championships, like, in the 90s or whatever, right? So I think given, like, the expediency with which this has happened, I don't know that you could point to something else and say that was better. Are we in a situation, if Kurt Cignetti and Indiana, they're doing this, right? Kurt Cignetti, the staff that he brought, Bryant Haynes on the defensive side and Mike Shanahan on the offensive side, so important to what they're doing. Been with Kurt Cignetti for a decade or so. And the way that they've won at every stop is... last being James Madison. Could Kurt Cignetti literally have done this anywhere?
What factors contributed to Oregon's defeat in the Peach Bowl?
If he had been hired at Louisville, if he had been hired at Kentucky, if he had been hired at Colorado instead of Deion Sanders, if he had been hired at Michigan State, if he had been hired at Boston College, would that team be playing for the national championship? Because Kurt Cignetti would have brought the players from JMU, but And he would have brought this staff and he would have kept the best of whatever was at those places. Power, power for schools. Could he if he can do it in Indiana? If I can do it there, I'll do it literally anywhere. Is that what we're talking about? I feel compelled to say yes because he definitely got Indiana to believe in itself as a football operation very quickly and invest in the sport differently than it had before, but it's not like...
they went out and added the 15 best and most expensive transfers to the roster. Right. They were still taking guys from Ohio and like on this team, like Kent Kent state. Right. Yep. It was like a Western Kentucky guy on the, on the team. Right.
How does Indiana's coaching compare to other top programs?
So yeah, I think their eye for scouting, there was a really good story on ESPN this morning by Adam Rittenberg. Did you read it about how they go about scouting with like Sig at the top of the operation as a general manager and head coach? It was good. It was interesting. So I think they would have just brought that eye for talent anywhere and probably done this because they're also doing it in the league that maybe has the least upward mobility, right? Like to break through the top of the Big Ten. in two years is ridiculous. I think they definitely could have done it in the ACC in the Big 12. I guess doing it in the SEC maybe would have been about as difficult as doing it in the Big 10. But, yeah, I think they probably would have done this anywhere.
You know, it's too late for Dan Lanning. He should have taken the Alabama job while he had the chance, and you would have a very – it would be an easier path to the Natty than trying to deal with that. Did you see, by the way, the Rose Bowl Twitter account? I think around halftime maybe. tweet it tweet it this looks familiar and they absolutely meant indiana winning by a lot because indiana beat alabama by a lot in the rose bowl i don't think they understood the double meaning It's like they're like, ah, the Pac-12 doesn't exist anymore. Let's go all in. Let's drop the elbow. Can I please call out Mario in the YouTube chat and say this, that Mario is producing this show right now. This is poetry. Last year, Indiana loses to Ohio State and Notre Dame.
The two teams that play in the natty Ohio state wins this year. Ohio state loses to Indiana and Miami. The two teams that play in the natty Indiana is probably going to win both seasons. Oregon loses to one team. The national champ, assuming that Indiana's going to national championship like this. Is that an excellent point? Like there is some symmetry here, right?
