For the first time in at least a couple of seasons, there’s a reason to be excited about Indiana football.
After winning just nine games over the last three seasons combined, Scott Dolson did what was necessary and fired Tom Allen. In came Curt Cignetti, a man who has won and won quickly at every level he’s coached in college football.
While firing Allen - with his eight-figure buyout - reflected a renewed commitment to winning football in and of itself, the ability to hire a guy like Cignetti is a testament to the work Indiana was doing behind the scenes to make sure this new staff would succeed.
