Don't forget it took Cignetti two years to get Indiana to the top. I'm this era of NIL and the portal, we have one of the very best coaches available. Go Tosh & Go Bears!
Came here to drop my usual “two off-seasons in a row Wilcox couldn’t figure out Fernando was the guy in time for the opener,” but you beat me to it. Couldn’t be happier for him. Worked out well for all parties involved. We got experience for our young starter and did not quite enough to save Wilcox’s job. All in all, a successful year. Now if we could only get back some of those millions that Wilcox stole from our donors.
Serious comment: Yes, we are doing all the right things. I read about Cignetti's pitch to IU's administration. Ron Rivera and Chancellor Lyons have ensured that Tosh is getting those things. Our work in the portal has been done very rationally (as far as I can tell without knowing the dollars).
I'm not sure anyone can pull off the "team of seniors" that Cignetti did now that college football has cleared the upperclassmen surplus of the covid bonus year. But there are still valuable lessons to be learned and, as far as I can tell, copying elements of Indiana with a large dose of Oregon culture seems like a pretty great approach to me.
Nando got a lot of practice scrambling for his life here
On the ESPN broadcast I did not hear any mention of Fernando losing to Miami last year, although I missed pregame.

Fernando just won the Heisman, Natty, Natty MVP, and will be eventual #1 overall draft pick.
Remember when JW was forcing snaps to Chandler Rodgers and bringing 2 QBs to media day.. Makes you realize JW literally had no clue on offense..
Don't forget Sam Jackson IV the previous season....
