Just awful. Doubly awful. 03-lmfao

You can laugh all you want. Many of us have suffered through multiple mediocre / bad seasons because we gave a coach too much security.

You just may find out.

Perhaps your programs hired the wrong people? Just a thought. It happens.

Cignetti (as a reminder) has never had a losing season in 11 years as a HC. Yet, now perhaps, you’re suggesting he’s going to reverse that trend, and start a succession of losing seasons simply because JMU is now playing in the SBC? And on top of that, Cignetti will forget how to recruit quality D1 players? Even tho he’s been recruiting them for over 30 years, with many of those recruiting years in service to winning P5 programs?

It might happen, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

The real danger for any coach (when recruiting) is when an institution has him on a short leash, and potential recruits don’t know if the HC will be canned before the player suits up. Having a HC (with a recent extension) is the very definition of stability and confidence based on past performance, and that opens up doors to recruits looking to play and contribute to a winning culture. Add in excellent facilities and recruiting becomes much easier to succeed (in a dog-eat-dog, highly competitive world).

Ultimately, if Cignetti performs to expectations JMU fans will be happy. If he doesn’t perform, Cignetti is 60, and with 3-4 years of subpar W-L seasons he’ll be near retirement, and could (most likely would) be let go near the end of his contract.

The “buyout” that seems to concern you (perhaps based on your institution’s past experiences?) doesn’t remotely enter into the picture for JMU.

If Cignetti wins, JMU gets a solid return on its investment. If Cignetti underperforms, he will retire (voluntarily or involuntarily) having helped JMU make the jump to a new conference and FBS FB.

It really is a win-win situation for JMU when you consider Cignetti’s pedigree and age. Cignetti (if he wins, especially if he wins big) is honestly too long in the tooth to be stolen away and hired by a P5 program. And if he doesn’t win, he’ll have served a solid purpose and be replaced by a new HC, where the salary range and contract terms have been established as appropriately competitive to attract top coaching talent.

You’re going to figure out how this works at the big boy level soon enough.

I think he’s convinced that JMU has screwed the pooch by awarding Curt Cignetti a raise and extension prior to “proving” he’s worthy of being a HC at the FBS level. I’m laughing because (in essence) after Coastal has caught lighting in a bottle the last two years, he’s now the expert on “big boy” football and what a coach deserves when, and how much.

It’s also a bit ironic that Coastal’s HC, who has a 12 year career record that includes 4 losing seasons, and who until recently was the lowest paid SBC FB HC, should be a model for how SBC head coaches should be compensated.

Underneath all this banter just may be a concern that Coastal now has a new division rival very similar in makeup to App State (7-1 all time against CC).

Lol come on Longhorn, he just gave his opinion on it on a message board and it's not an unreasonable concern. "This feels like an awful decision from an outsider’s point of view" isn't anyone claiming to be an expert. No SBC fan here wants to see any of their new additions flop, and success at one level doesn't always translate to success at another. Hopefully it works out, and Bourne certainly knows what he's doing more than any of us here, but it's not hard to see how waiting a year before this extension could've made a lot of sense.

You’re being generous. His comments definitely come across as more than expressing a simple “opinion”…they were officious, obnoxious and condescending statements. Besides, there’s little doubt Cignetti’s original contract probably required an extension and raise if JMU moved to FBS ball. In any case, JMU and CC get to prove what’s what on the field this year, and every year hereafter, and that’s something we can all agree about is a good thing.

Whoa, mash the breaks. App State has certainly had our number, but the Coastal and JMU series is 1-1 overall. Not quite the same thing. Chadwell was very unproven when he came to Coastal as offensive coordinator. Especially for a school transitioning into the FBS ranks. On top of that, he was thrusted into a temporary head coaching position upon arriving to CCU after Joe Moglia went on a medical sabbatical during our first year of FBS. Couldn't scheme a worst time to transition to a new division of play than Coastal. Hard to see JMU transitioning under those circumstances, but if you guys do...good luck and weather the storm.

I think he's more pointing out the length of the contract. Its 6 full seasons. That's a long time at the G5 level. Most contracts are 3-5 years.

It could prove to be a shrewd move if JMU proves to be good out of the box and depending on the buyout that any school looking to poach Cignetti would have to pay.

Entirely different set of circumstances. Wilder should never have been retained as ODU’s transition HC. For starters, Wilder had zero FBS experience.

JMU’s HC grew up playing P5 FB and previously was part of Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama, and served as Alabama’s recruiting coordinator. JMU also has the facilities and successful FB history to help recruiting. Wilder, no matter how enthusiastic he was, and he was a salesman, had very poor facilities to offer recruits, and not much program history to sell. JMU’s HC will be fine.

Our coach has the EXACT same qualifications and we're still split on whether to trust in this guy. Most are good with giving him this year, knowing he will likely be retained if he does well or hired away if he does real well.

Exact same qualifications? Okay.

Let’s do a quick comparison.

Charlie Huff started his playing career as a walk-on fullback at Hampton, and landed up playing on the OL. JMU’s coach played QB for West Virginia.

Huff is 38 years old. JMU’s coach is 60.

Marshall is Huff’s first HC job. JMU’s coach has previously been the HC at two other schools before coming to JMU.

Huff’s HC record (all at Marshall) is 7-6 after 1 year as HC. JMU’s Curt Cignetti’s HC record is 100-31, and he’s never had a losing season in 11 years as a HC, and has finished 3 years at JMU where his record is 33-5.

Huff is thought to be an excellent recruiter. Cignetti was on Saban’s original staff at Alabama and coached the WRs and recruiting coordinator between 2007-09 when Saban’s Alabama team won its first NC.

Huff’s FB pedigree and personal background growing up in a football family…well, there’s not much info out there about it, but I’m sure it’s good. Cignett’s father, Frank Cignetti, Sr. is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and won 199 games as the HC at West Virginia and IUP. Cignetti’s brother is currently the Offensive Coordinator at Pittsburgh.

Obviously, there’s no need to go on comparing these two guys.
They share the EXACT same qualifications. Hard to understand why Herd fans don’t trust Huff, and Cignetti was given an extension and raise. Go figure.

04-cheers

Talking about the ones the guy listed in the post before mine, On Saban's staff and Alabama's recruiting coordinator. Those exact same qualifications. Wasn't referring to lifetime achievements or their father's achievements, lol? All that stuff you wrote has nothing to do with anything, making a point that didn't matter. I should have written "those exact same qualifications," I guess, but I didn't expect someone not to understand. The point was that being on staff at Alabama doesn't automatically make one a great FBS head coach. And we know this first hand. We'll see how your coach turns out. I hope he does well...very well. But I wouldn't have bet 5 years on it.

For the most part. I'm actually probably one of his bigger doubters on our board, although there are a few "fire him now" reactions every time we lose or play a closer game than we should(as you'll see from the thread title on our board03-lmfao) and I'm not that big of a doubter lol... He's 33-5 at JMU which is obviously great, but imo is also not that special considering it's JMU in the CAA and there are very few games we should have a chance of losing.

His biggest criticisms are clock/game management and inability to win the big games. But then you'll also have plenty argue that his doubters only count it as a big game when he loses. Lost a very winnable game at WVU, lost both matchups with NDSU(semifinal and national championship), lost a semifinal at SHSU(I don't blame him that much for that one, the weird ass spring season carries very little weight imo), and lost a home game against Villanova where we were shut out in the second half and started a stretch of 10 quarters without a TD from the red zone because we were determined to run up the middle constantly. On the flipside he beat 3 seed Weber State 30-14 in the 2019 semifinal which was one of three 2019 wins over top 10 teams, and smoked #5 Montana in the 2021 quarters so you can see the argument for some "big games" that were wins as well. No FBS games besides WVU 2019, but Weber State 2021 was kinda the "big game" OOC this year and we smoked them but then they also didn't end up being as good as expected. The big games against WVU and NDSU were times where he went overly conservative imo though.

Very much wait and see how he fares against the stronger competition imo. You will see some who say the SBC is gonna expose him and many, many more who have zero doubt he's the guy. You won't find many who will argue that he isn't very good in recruiting and development though, so even if he has a rough start I don't know how fair it is to judge him before he can get his guys on the field that were recruited to SBC JMU instead of CAA JMU. Overall I have my doubts but I really like the guy and hope he's extremely successful in Harrisonburg for a long time. We'll see.

If JMU comes out 50/50 win loss over the next 2 seasons he's probably a good coach to keep. I expect some top caliber players to be recruited to Purple land that will show in year 3 the most.

I’m laughing because (in essence) after Coastal has caught lighting in a bottle the last two years, he’s now the expert on “big boy” football and what a coach deserves when, and how much.

It’s also a bit ironic that Coastal’s HC, who has a 12 year career record that includes 4 losing seasons, and who until recently was the lowest paid SBC FB HC, should be a model for how SBC head coaches should be compensated.

Underneath all this banter just may be a concern that Coastal now has a new division rival very similar in makeup to App State (7-1 all time against CC).

Lol come on Longhorn, he just gave his opinion on it on a message board and it's not an unreasonable concern. "This feels like an awful decision from an outsider’s point of view" isn't anyone claiming to be an expert. No SBC fan here wants to see any of their new additions flop, and success at one level doesn't always translate to success at another. Hopefully it works out, and Bourne certainly knows what he's doing more than any of us here, but it's not hard to see how waiting a year before this extension could've made a lot of sense.

You’re being generous. His comments definitely come across as more than expressing a simple “opinion”…they were officious, obnoxious and condescending statements. Besides, there’s little doubt Cignetti’s original contract probably required an extension and raise if JMU moved to FBS ball. In any case, JMU and CC get to prove what’s what on the field this year, and every year hereafter, and that’s something we can all agree about is a good thing.

Ah…the ever self-aware Longhorn.

Yeah, I think it was a more appropriate username for you guys like ODoucheNation.

We’re much too mature for that. Like someone who went to ODU would login under the name Heywood Jablomi?

I like Cignetti but that’s a long time to be under contract in the G5. Trust me, MT knows all too well what a bad coach contract looks like. Hopefully he performs well minus his first FBS game. Go Blue!!!
