CHICAGO — Big Ten coaches regularly use media days to drum up interest in their team and tout their league’s prowess. Rarely do they unleash an avalanche of superlatives for one of their foes unless the feat was truly astounding. In this case, it was.Indiana won the College Football Playoff title in January with an unblemished campaign that goes down as one of the sport’s greatest seasons. Only in mid-November did the Hoosiers relinquish the title as college football’s losingest program, and by late January, they completed a 16-0 season. The accomplishment directed by Curt Cignetti in his second season left Hoosiers’ rivals and fellow competitors in awe.“He called his own shot like Babe Ruth,” Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said from Big Ten media days. “Babe Ruth, pretty good baseball player. And I put Curt Cignetti right up there with Babe Ruth because he did the same thing. (But) that was just a home run. That wasn’t a grand slam in the World Series in Game 7 to win it.”Illinois football coach Bret Bielema shared similar praise.“That is single-handedly the most impressive story I’ve witnessed in my college career,” Bielema said. “What Cig did: Came in, (took) over a program that’s historically been one of the losingest programs and in two years literally ran away with it.”Fleck ranks second in tenure among Big Ten coaches. Bielema won three straight Big Ten titles at Wisconsin from 2010 through 2012. They both recruit against Cignetti, yet they’re willing to cede promotional real estate to offer tribute.
