I’ll give Cignetti credit for taking advantage of the new NIL Wild West. He brought in coaches /guys he had coached at his old program and sprinkled in experienced older players. Kudos.
Spare me the culture BS though. This is a bought and paid for run. Which, apparently is what CFB has become based on the current NIL/ Transfer Portal trajectory. It has nothing to do with culture anymore.
Can he sustain it over multiple years, we’ll see.
I can't agree with this. Just my opinion though.
I think that Cignetti has built his organization quite soundly and they have buy in from his staff down to the players.
To have that level of collective engagement, he's created a culture that invites people to work together.
As for sustain, that's the question every winning organization must deal with, and is a perpetual question.
