Indiana hired Curt Cignetti away from James Madison to lead their football team, a strong hire for a team competing in a tough Big Ten conference. While the Hoosiers finished last in the entire conference this season with a 3–9 record (1–8 in conference games), Cignetti believes that there will still be a quick turnaround.
During a Friday interview with Big Ten Network from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the site of Saturday’s Big Ten championship game, Cignetti made a bold prediction regarding where Indiana will finish in the Big Ten next season.
“I figured that I should make this trip up here since we'll be playing in this game next year,” he said while being interviewed on the Big Ten Network, via IndianaHQ.
