Who\u2019s got it better right now than Indiana Hoosiers football coach Curt Cignetti?<\/p>\n
The 64 year-old head coach now has the greatest called shot in sports this side of Babe Ruth after improbably leading Indiana to their first national championship in football after being a Big Ten doormat for decades. But because of his ability to back up his audacious talk, like when he told everyone \u201cI win, Google me<\/a>\u201d at his introductory press conference in Bloomington, he\u2019s become a legendary figure<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cignetti has proven himself both on and off the field as one of the more fascinating characters in sports. Of course, his once-in-a-lifetime turnaround at Indiana is one of the more incredible stories in the history of coaching. But whether it\u2019s during press conferences or sideline interviews<\/a> or postgame interviews<\/a>, he\u2019s one of the most blunt, honest, and interesting coaches we\u2019ve seen since the glory days of Gregg Popovich.<\/p>\n And even though it\u2019s the middle of spring football and the offseason, we had another classic Cignetti soundbyte on Thursday.<\/p>\n The Indiana coach commented on new wide receiver Nick Marsh, who transferred to Indiana from Big Ten rival Michigan State. And he made sure to share with the world<\/a> just what he thought about his new player showing up to practice in gold cleats.<\/p>\n Indiana WR Nick Marsh wore gold cleats to IU\u2019s first spring camp session. Curt Cignetti was not pleased to see that.<\/p>\n \u201cHe learned what getting your ass ripped is all about. I don\u2019t know if that happened to him very often at Michigan State.\u201d #iufb<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/UHRMM0i2bf<\/a><\/p>\n
