00:00So let me start this thing off with who's emerging as my favorite college football coach.
00:06He's a little bit of old school Woody Hayes.
00:09He's a little bit of Steve Spurrier.
00:11And he's a little bit of Nick Saban.
00:14And you put it all together, who do you get?
00:17You get Kirk Signetti, the head football coach of Indiana University, the number one coach in all of college football.
00:25I said it, the number one coach in college football in 2026 resides in Bloomington, Indiana.
00:33You told me that 10 years ago, I told you you were nuts and you needed to see a psychiatrist.
00:39Indiana University is now the number one program in the country and one of the top five programs that kids
00:46want to go to.
00:47And it's all because of the main man, Kirk Signetti.
00:50Kirk Signetti is already throwing darts at people.
00:53Most notably, the Southeastern Conference.
00:56I love this quote here.
00:57The Big Ten is the best league in football.
01:01We don't run a hype machine up here.
01:03We just don't in the Midwest.
01:05We don't cry a river, whine and complain.
01:09We just win.
01:11That's what this guy's all about, man.
01:13Talks about bringing a bigger gun.
01:16Hey, you got a target now on your and in your program.
01:20No, I bought a bigger gun.
01:23This guy is a quote machine.
01:25And you know what he does?
01:26He backs it up.
01:27He's also got a little bit of a coach that I played for.
01:30And that was a legendary Jimmy Johnson.
01:33You know, back in the day, we were notorious for all the quotes that would come out of our program.
01:38It was called the word swagger.
01:41And that's what this guy has now brought back to college sports, is the word swagger.
01:47You know what, swagger?
01:48I get asked this question all the time.
01:50Sills, I just posted something over on my X account.
01:53We were inside the top 10 when it came to being in the top 10 AP for over 137 weeks.
02:01That's the kind of program we had.
02:03And we walked with swagger.
02:04And we're asked all the time, and I'm asked, what's the word swagger mean?
02:08To me, it means winning.
02:10You can't have swagger if you don't win.
02:14Hey, it's one thing to be a trash talker like Deion Sanders in Colorado and not win.
02:19And that's what Deion is.
02:20Everything that we thought and everything that the media thought that Deion was going
02:25to bring to Colorado, Cignetti has done it in Bloomington.
02:30Here's a guy that was at Elon.
02:32I just had to ask the producers where that was.
02:35They told me it's in Carolina, so I'm taking their word for it.
02:39James Madison.
02:40What?
02:40James Madison?
02:42Oh, yeah, that team that made the college playoff with the majority of his kids still
02:47there.
02:47And he brought 13 of them to Bloomington himself to go on and win a national championship
02:52against Mike Cain's.
02:53The guy is an ultimate recruiter.
02:55Now, the big thing is going to see what is going to be the encore in Bloomington.
03:01What's next with this program?
03:03He is the quintessential coach right now when it comes to coaching college football in the
03:09now era.
03:10Transfer portal means what?
03:12Free agency.
03:13This guy knows how to handle both.
03:15He gets players to come in and play for him, and he turns programs around wherever he is.
03:21Billy Napier just took that James Madison job after getting blown out at Florida because
03:27James Madison is now a program that coaches want to go to and coach at.
03:32Crazy.
03:33And that's what Cignetti has done to Indiana.
03:36Let's not forget something else at Indiana.
03:39This is the home of Bobby Knight.
03:42Indiana basketball, the movie Hoosiers, there's no movie Hoosiers when it comes to football.
03:50And the movie Hoosiers applies to the football program and them winning a national championship.
03:56It's an incredible story.
03:58I've never seen this meteoric rise when it comes to a coach in my life like Kurt Cignetti.
04:04I can't wait to see what he does in 2026.
