The world is funny.  People are hyper critical of Sark for OTA style spring practice and not enough full contact stuff while falling over how great a coach Cig is at Indiana.
Indiana does hardly any full contact practices and only practices about 6 hours a week.  My high school football team practiced more then that. Its fairly hilarious.
 

I would say this works better for more mature, experienced teams. Younger, raw talent needs all the reps and practice they can get.

I'm not saying Sark was right or wrong on the OTAs thing.  It's just hillarious to see posters who are hyper critical of Sark for his practice style fall all over Cignetti and how we should hire him....when he is even less contact than Sark.  It harkens back to the same mentallity of getting excited about the blocking sled coming back when Mack hired....whomever it was he hired and people lost their minds that physical toughness was returning to the program.....

 

Miles Price was talking about his time at Indiana and how he only hit the ground like twice in practice.  He also compared it to his time at Tech and Mcguire apparently had them do some weird drill where they jumped in a pool at 5 am and had to stay underwater and take off their cotton sweat shirt and exchange it with their partenr's and put it on while staying underwater.....Thats some weird Tom Herman stuff.

Cig doesn't follow the Saban process apparently because he found it wears your team out too much practicing like Saban did.  He's much more about mental than physical in his practices.

 

"So Cignetti put his own spin on The Process: Drill to the point of proficiency, and not a second more.

“I just believe in keeping people fresh and healthy,” Cignetti said. “The better people feel physically, the better they feel mentally, too.”"

Cignetti is a different dude. He said in an interview a few months back that he doesn't like staff members staying late in the office or pulling all-nighters watching film. Said they get in, do their work and go home to their families. Also said he doesn't believe in having a GM.

I only watched them against OSU and part of the Oregon game and their mental prep showed. IU may not have the best athletes, but they know where they're supposed to be and what they're supposed to do. Meanwhile, Arch is hoping that only one OL misses his assignment per play, DBs are thoroughly confused by bunch formations; etc. A little more mental prep would do some good.
