After all, keeping up an 8-0 run is no laughing matter! Holding the hands of their first-time head coach, Curt Cignetti, Indiana has upgraded their standards. Who would have guessed that the Big Ten would be talking about Indiana? However, Cignetti assertively stated, “It’s very easy. I win.” Nonetheless, the head coach’s surprise success was made possible by the unanticipated support of his wife and kids.
Indeed, Cignetti and Manette Lawer, who have three children—Curtis John, Carly Ann, and Natalie Elise—will commemorate their 35 years of happy marriage this year. Natalie has a lot of connections in the sports industry. While playing volleyball at Indiana, she was named an honorable mention All-American. Her accomplishments in this sport demonstrate her commitment and athletic ability. However, as a sales manager and a medical practitioner, John and Carly have achieved notable success in their chosen professions.

In case you were unaware, the Cignetti family has a strong connection to football, particularly football, as evidenced by the fact that their grandfather, Frank Cignetti, is an honoree of the NCAA Football Hall of Fame. One of his kids has a passion for sports as a result of their father’s and grandfather’s involvement. Simply genetic! For such involvement, Cignetti’s kids are usually spotted in the field or among the crowds supporting their father.
However, in addition to upholding the duty to develop children into individuals with worth and dignity, the head coach bears equal responsibility for the development of his team.
Indiana’s progress under Curt Cignetti
Since taking over the head coach position, Cignetti has let the numbers speak for him. We must examine the Hoosiers’ past in order to accept the turnaround. They were 3-9 in 2023! In addition to this, their three-season combined record prior to Curt was 9-27. Alright, let’s delve deeper into the past, even if these aren’t tempting enough. Unbeknownst to you, the Hoosiers have been in their greatest position since 1967 under the leadership of their first head coach.
You now perform the computation. Hold on, let me assist you. Cignetti now bridges the 57-year gap! Therefore, it makes sense that he would be showing off his team’s glow-up. Before the face-off in Washington, he congratulated himself without waiting for external approval, saying, “ I mean, hey, look, the numbers speak for themselves.” However, someone must be responsible for Cignetti’s coaching prowess.
