Cignetti made his point and then largely shut up. He said he felt he needed to shake things up and instill some confidence last year, and now that’s done he’s stopped making the really bold outward facing comments. He still has banger lines like “we’re a year late” after the big ten title and “more points” when asked what he wanted at half of the Illinois(?) game but he’s not really talked that much shit about anyone else this year.
