So here's a question that's been on my mind and though I have some possible ideas but no good answer to settle it. HCJS has one season under his belt at 12-2 with a championship and a bowl win. We look to be on the same trajectory result this year. Some of us have already worried if he'll be snatched up and gone by year three. Slim odds on it but still there's a chance. A similar year three and those slim odds go to say, a greater than 50% chance or much higher depending on outside circumstances and prime opportunities opening up elsewhere.
James Madison is in their FIFTH season with Cignetti with a record of 50-8 so far. His salary is mean to below average there. I did a scan of their board, albeit a quick one. Not much talk or concern of him going on anywhere it would seem.
I'm just pondering on why that is. It's not like JMU is a nobody program. They were a known element even before moving up to the SB. What do you suppose the difference is?

What do you suppose the difference is? Cignetti is definitely being looked at. Cignetti will also be 63 years old when the next football season rolls around. Hiring young stars, NFL coaches, top recruiters and having extensive CFP experience is where's it's at right now.

I don't buy that...or some of the other. I can see maybe some XP but. I don't know. Winning is where it's at in football. Not age.

Winning talks, but programs also want young energy.
Auburn folks probably would've taken Cadillac Williams over a proven 55 year old winner (Hugh Freeze) if they had any say.
Colorado wanted Coach Prime over almost everyone.
64 year old K.C. Keeler is still at Sam Houston State, despite being one of the most successful FCS head coaches ever. He's had interviews, but has never been hired. Heck, Texas State interviewed him... and wound up choosing 34 year old G.J. Kinne... who only had ONE year of head coach experience.

I would offer another explanation for why there is no talk on JMU's board about the possibility of their coach being hired away. Based on the actions of the JMU fan base in recent days related to their lack of post season eligibility, I would say there is a level of arrogance there that precludes discussions of their coach EVER leaving. I mean, why in the world would he EVER want to coach anywhere but JMU? For those of you who may think I'm being overly critical, let me remind you that they are selling T-shirts proclaiming them SBC East champions for 2023 while they still have 3 games to play. They have won nothing yet, however they are selling the shirt. How much more arrogant can a fan base be? That's just one example of the arrogance that exists in that fan base. They are pushing hard to displace Coastal as the most despised fan base in the SBC.

Chadwell the charmer left leaving the beach residue birds to try to find their arrogance alone. So, without that the baby dung birds would still be chirping. Meanwhile I would like another shot at JMU…as Mike Tyson said (or paraphrased) everyone is tough till you punch them in the mouth”

What do you suppose the difference is? Outstanding coach and won at every level. I think his age will keep him at JMU though. They are lucky to have him
