Tenure criteria for head coaches remaining in their position, and cancellation of any given athletic program are not the same thing. You know as well as I that in so many cases, wins and losses are cyclic, and in many cases dependent on the talent coming through during that period. I am not going to explain to you the benefits of football beyond W's/L's. If you played the sport, you already know. If you haven't ever played the sport, well I don't have the time nor the inclination to explain it to you.

Perhaps in your own community in which people are elected by local constituents. But for other communities, its really not much of your business. But if your only criteria for student involvement for sports programs in based on what you deem success (wins and losses) not sure if your voice means much to administrators.

But who are you to decide what activities children should have at their offering? That is the responsibility of their local communities, and perhaps winning % of their football program is not their top reason in deciding to continuing to fund the activity. Those communities certainly don't need to align to your views.

I didn’t take that from his comments. CGHS has a plethora of options for student activities. Additionally Coach Mills offers strength and conditioning opportunities for both students and the community. Your comment came across to me as today’s media 101, which is less about accurate understanding and more about pushing a personal agenda.

It would seem there are future plans for an upgraded Memorial Stadium. https://www.si.com/college/indiana/football/curt-cignetti-indiana-football-memorial-stadium-upgrades-look-different-future-01k18xgcjn3r

Having Marty Mills as the strength and condition coach and this facility has to be a major factor for Center Grove. Champions are made in the off season.

I'm with you....Ryno was something else to watch....this one does hurt

Perhaps....NIL and TP absolutely allows a program to build rapidly....as long as the administration is willing to spend. IU certainly now seems willing and will eventually renovate Memorial Stadium. My guess like Assembly Hall, they will get a big time donor and put their name on the facility

I am not saying he isn't good or won't be great...but 5 picks in a day of practice would indicate not the greatest day. He does have a great HC that will certainly be at his side. I read it and understand the video timing. My share was about the tweet and the rough day at work. I absolute see him at a hard working dude and think he will be quite the player. All young player struggle on given days. He's got an excellent HC there with him in Minnesota.

if that is the case, then take the voting away from sportswriters and give it only to MLB HOF alumni

No holding back….

Not a meme….a tribute. Didn’t realize the Hoosier product was 4 time all state at Gary Emerson and a runner up for the Heisman at the University of Iowa. Definitely a work horse. Not a bad actor either!!

Growing pains. The next level isn’t easy…

IU beat Michigan in 2020. 11-62 record all time against UM. Ugh! 😩

A QB with a torn ACL and only one 1 season in Power 4. I agree with your comment, but interesting IU had such an advantage with that position against UM.

Day should have that record with the talent he has. Give him 2-3 stars and let’s see his record.

Not the news the Boilers wanted… https://www.on3.com/teams/purdue-boilermakers/news/2026-three-star-dl-josiah-hope-flips-from-purdue-to-louisville/

Blindside block baby!!

Long way to go for 2 intrastate schools but great experience for the players. https://www.on3.com/news/michigan-western-michigan-to-open-2026-season-in-frankfurt-germany/

You asked me if I thought Cignetti was a better Coach than Day. I didn’t answer because I come off like a homer. But I don’t think Day wins at every level like Cignetti to include D2, FCS, Mid major, and P4. Cig had to earn everything while Day was gifted the keys to a F1 car. Not to mention he acts like a smug turd. Day should win with the best players. Give him 2 and 3 stars and let’s see what he does.

Agree 100%

Hard to say on Ryan Day.....he was handed the keys to a Ferrari and never had to work his way up driving Oldsmobiles in a head coaching role. Just wonder where he would be if he had to work his way up as a head coach. Day sure seemed to be confused in the game against Michigan last year. No way they should have lost that game at home. That was not impressive to land him as top coach in the Big 10.

Coach, your new guy seems pretty vocal....maybe Cig is resting up his players for the last game of the regular season. https://www.si.com/college/purdue/football/purdue-coach-barry-odom-takes-shot-at-indiana-over-scheduling-changes-big-ten-football
