The elder Cignetti spent four years as the head coach at West Virginia in the 1970s but found his greatest success when he returned to IUP, located about an hour east of Pittsburgh. He took a job as the school’s athletic director in 1982 before becoming head coach in 1986. Cignetti is survived by his wife Marlene and their four children, including Frank Cignetti Jr., the current offensive coordinator at Pittsburgh. The younger Cignetti called his father his hero and was at work hours after his father’s passing on Saturday as the Panthers hosted Tennessee.
