James Madison coaches make impact in college football coaching pipeline

James Madison University is emerging as a significant contributor to coaching talent in college football. Indiana's Curt Cignetti, a former JMU coach with a championship pedigree, is currently undefeated this season. UCLA's Bob Chesney, also a JMU alum, has led the Bruins to a strong start in the Big Ten despite a key injury to quarterback Nico Iamaleava. New JMU head coach Billy Napier, previously at Florida, has also begun his season with a perfect record. As more programs look to successful coaches from the FCS level, JMU continues to set a standard for performance.
