Indiana head football coach Curt Cignetti has signed a new eight-year contract with the Hoosiers that makes him one of the highest-paid coaches in the sport. Since arriving at IU, he’s completely turned the program around from a non-contender to one of the best programs in the country.
The Hoosiers currently rank No. 2 in the AP Poll, their highest ranking in program history. Cignetti’s new contract is worth at least $92.8 million and the average annual compensation will be approximately $11.6 million.
Students and fans are pleased to hear that Cignetti will remain a Hoosier.
“He’s done a phenomenal job,” IU senior Caroline Schreiber said. “He’s come in hot and turned this whole school’s campus around. We actually are a football school.”
