Keep in mind who is making the decision. An experienced AD would take those things into consideration. An overworked University President with zero experience in hiring coaches might not.

He won 8 games in his 2nd year at Syracuse and improved their recruiting ranking from #78 to #76. 'Cuse fans went crazy and wanted him fired....
(I'm still here Duff) :lol:
Other than the fact that Michigan can and will pay a lot of money for the position, it's kind of lost on me why that is thought to be a great job. It's been a while since they mattered much. And all that potential fan support is pretty fickle. Add living in a cold and broken hellhole part of the country.
Interesting take. I still think Michigan is a good job. As you said, they pay a lot. They also have a rich tradition, good fan support that still fills the Big House, it's a top 5 public research university comparable to Berkeley, and Ann Arbor is most certainly not a hellhole - it's every bit as nice as Boulder.

True, but I think it is a reflection of the demographic of the country. The Rust Belt is dying, and the Big Integer is going to go down with it IMO.
True, but tell me you really want to spend a winter in Ann Arbor or Madison.

Meh, they have heated buildings there, and even 4 wheel drive luxury vehicles, and probably a snow plow service so I doubt it matters all that much. It's a beautiful place to live...much better than places like Tuscaloosa or Lincoln, but they still manage to find people to coach there.
Sure, but my post was directed more towards the (ridiculous?) statement that Ann Arbor is comparable to Boulder. Yes, you can stay inside and drive your luxury automobile around, but you won't see much of the sun for 4 months. That **** wears on you after a while.
Neither of those seem amazing, but what do I know
True, love those beautiful mountains to the west of the city, nothing like a relaxing trip up a canyon with the family.
And those wonderful sunny winter days, perfect for getting in a few rounds of golf or just going out for a nice walk.
Mountains are not necessary for a happy existence.
Not if you have an ocean . . . Lake Erie doesn't count.
I'm glad you feel that way, more room here for me.
As midwestern cities go Ann Arbor is a good one but it is still in the midwest, no thanks. Weather sucks, not much to see from a natural perspective unless you like farmland.

To each his own I suppose. Ann Arbor may not have mountains, but it's still beautiful 9 months of the year, and not bad the other 3. Boulder may have the edge when it comes to topography and scenery, but Ann Arbor has a camaraderie and support for the university that Boulder will probably never have. It's a better "college town" in that respect.
Its gonna be bobo according to Terry Frei
Interesting. I think he is the least favorable candidate when it comes to knowing this area. Definitely not very scary. At least Sparkles had a lot of hardware. Bobo has none.
Colorado State: The Denver Post reports that Mike Bobo and Colorado State are closing in on a deal. We’ll keep you posted. We addressed this possibility last night on FootballScoop radio. We reported last night that Scott Frost had said no thank you to the opportunity and it was looking like Bobo would be the guy the Denver post is now reporting the same. Here is the story. Update> Sources tell us the deal is done. Mike Bobo is the new head coach at Colorado State.

SMU- June Jones out, Chad Morris in.

UH- fires Tony Levine, hires tOSU OC Tom Herman
Secondary market-
CSU- first program to be poached, UGA OC Bobo takes the reins.
Oregon State- Mike Riley off to greener cornfields, in a huge surprise, OSU hires away Wiscy's HC Gary Andersen

Narduzzi expected to be offered Pitt job, per ESPN. would leave meatchicken all alone
Wow. I am guessing Utah will be going after the same DC as CU, but at least CU has a head start on it.
Great. Get into a bidding war. Utah can point to stability.

I have no elephant books
If it isn't already, enormed should be added to the AB lexicon.
haha - oops
Until someone points out how many different coordinators Utah has had in as many years
