Just six games into his Indiana tenure, Curt Cignetti has already matched or exceeded the best full season win totals of 23 of the 29 Indiana head coaches who preceded him.
In November, Cignetti signed a six-year deal worth an initial average of $4.5 million per year, and win number six triggered an extension and significant bonuses in his contract.
Indiana is now bowl eligible, and that brings Cignetti a one-year extension, a $250,000 pay increase, and a $500,000 increase to the budget for football staff personnel — meaning for assistants and support staff, to be distributed at Cignetti’s discretion.
This could be just the beginning for Cignetti. His contract with IU contains the following bonus provisions, all of which appear to be in play at the moment.
The Daily Hoosier obtained Cignetti’s contract in December through a public record request.
