Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti has authored one of the greatest turnarounds in college football history over the past couple of seasons, somehow managing to put the losingest team in the sport’s history just one win away from a national championship.
Everybody around the country has been watching what Cignetti has been doing, and that includes folks at the NFL level. The pro ranks are in the middle of their annual coaching carousel, and Cignetti’s name has come up a lot in the rumor mill as a potential candidate to make the jump from college to the NFL.
The Hoosiers’ head man was asked about these rumors in the lead-up to Monday night’s national championship, and he made his thoughts on any potential move to the NFL very clear.
“I’m not an NFL guy,” Cignetti said, per Yahoo Sports. “I made that decision a long time ago. I’ve always been a college football guy.”
Cignetti is a true college football lifer, and he has worked his way up the ranks over the past 40 years to finally be in the position he is now. NFL teams are right to be interested in a coach as experienced as Cignetti, but it doesn’t look like he has any intention of leaving the college ranks.
