We should be much more concerned about how much RG is going to offer Leavitt so his dream job which just opened up at CSU doesn't pull him away from us.
Because Bobo is going to take him with him?
Meh. We Play them every year. They are in the same state as us. Compete for some of the same recruits. Many of had friends not good enough to go to CU so they went to CSU. They will for that always be part of the conversation. By contrast we dont talk about any former B12 teams anymore at all except NU and UT. Not KU. not KSU. not even OU. We have no connection to them anymore and no reason to care. We can't say that about CSU

Yeah, not sure why CSU is an off limits topic around here
Saw on ESPN. If you told me a DC in the state of Colorado was going to be named as HC of an FBS program this offseason. I would have thought it would be JL. The CSU DC is a good coach. Good for him.
I think JL will get another shot at HC. But I think he's on a mission to bring CU back into prominence. But I only think that from the few quotes I've heard.
JL will get another shot. He has the track record and is respected in the business. Every year that passes puts the issues that got him fired further into the background.
I think you are right though that he is on a mission. He also seems to really love Boulder and the job he is doing.
He has been around coaching long enough to know that his next head coaching job could very well be his last one. He will very likely listen to offers but I don't think he jumps unless he believes that the situation is right for him. There are a lot of jobs out there that I think he would quietly turn down.

Ok, but to say his career is riding on year 2 at a MWC school is a bit of an exaggeration.
I think what TShrek was saying say there was that Bobo needs a good 2016 to get a next level job sooner rather than later.

Hmmmmm, like Lance Armstrong, Sam's been given to opportunity to re-build his body.
Any thought that he could move to Inside LB with that re-tooled physique ? Jack Lambert-like size there would be great.

The "Peter Principle" at work for Sumlin: Good enough to get the promotion, not good enough to keep it!
Says he intends to play DE. He'll be a freshman this year. From some things I read, optimal weight gain is around 20 to 25 lbs a year. But, since he was at 240 before, maybe his weight gain will accelerate a bit. Heck, they could chose to RS him this year and he'd be a 21 year old freshman in 2017 and probably closer to 260. I don't know if they are considering that or not. I'm sure it depends on how he looks this spring and summer.
Lambert was a very undersized ILB.
Regardless, Bennion is a DE/DT for this system. Just need to be patient as he puts on 50-70 pounds over the next few years.
This would make a lot of sense.
He can come in to camp in shape but not be in football shape. Two years away from the game and he will have to re-discover his instincts on the field.
DBT may be right that he can gain weight faster since he will be recovering weight but he will still be a little undersized. He HS tape looked like a guy who relied on power for a lot of his moves. Rather have an extra year on the back end with him at full size and strength.
Not sure he has the speed to play any of the LB positions in this defense.
That would make the most sense.
Correct.
I don't know what thread to put this in and didn't wanna start one. This safety from New Mexico got killed in a wreck, I guess it was yesterday? I remember hearing his name against the chards. Tough news this time of year or anytime. His last name was Byrd. Idk if it was the weather or what.
Markel Byrd. Very sad news.
Oh, man. So sad. Prayers to his family and, especially, his GF.

Wonder if he bought his way into Heaven , in the same manner he bought judges in Texas?
Still can't believe that Pennzoil decision in which he personally made over a $100 million!

This is a long ass read but holy ****. This feels like a bio of a movie anti-hero, not a real life person. http://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/the-man-who-crushed-texaco/
