Who said we couldn’t afford him? Or that they were interested? I would think someone highly regarded wouldn’t go to a program like RU where Ashe is a lame duck coach if he had options.

If we can’t afford the coach HCMT wanted or HCMT can’t recruit him to CU that is 100x worse. If HCMT has the ability to hire anyone he chooses and he ignores our allbuff recommendations and picks one young coach over another I can live with that. Especially since he worked with them both. Personally, I’m disappointed with the choice, but that likely means he is going to turn out to be the best hire on the staff.

The less I know the more I'm sure of it.
Valai was always just a rumor. Who says he was ever even in the picture?

@SpacemanSpiff and a couple others are better suited to answer that. I’m just an admirer.

I’m not a fancy dancy surgeon. I’m a simple shade tree orbital mechanic.
Leavitt did recruit at USF and before he got there.
It may just be that his entire focus after USF was on getting another HC job. He put a lot into coaching his guys but figured recruiting was only going to help the guy who followed him after he was gone.
If he got a job like CSU and he saw himself being there for multiple years it wouldn't surprise me at all if he became a very effective recruiter again. Maybe to the point of leaving the guy who follows him a nice mess with the NCAA.
A little more detail on the Cristobal Leavitt pissing match (hat tip to BUFFjunkie on the 247 board where I snatched the link.)
Cliff notes for those that don’t want to click link:
>The two had a negative interaction a decade ago when both were head coaches down in Florida over Leavitt’s failing to provide game film
>The pair almost got in a fist fight in 2017
>Leavitt stabilized Oregon D, told Cristobal to stay away from his defense

I knew it wouldn't work the first game I saw them coach together. Cristobal got the HC job and they then had their bowl game. When the camera cut to JL, as Defensive Coordinator, pull the quarterback over on the sideline and rip into him for several minutes during the game I knew there would be huge chain of command issues there.

Definitely was a bad look for JL.

Leavitt probably should move back to the NFL and stay there. The Bengals still need a DC
Yeah he did but Oregon upped his salary to 1.7 million to stay.
He would be a healing presence at FSU right now.
As a Florida fan I really wish Leavitt went there, that place would somehow be a worse dumpster fire that it is right now with all the dysfunction he would bring.

Cristobal and Leavitt are a little too much old school, sneaky, backwoods Florida type of coaches that will do anything to win, and have an EGO that is way to large for today's College Football unless you can back it up (Urban and Saban). I always want Oregon to implode, and it very well could happen. I think we can score some decent points on them, just hope we can stop Herbert.
Do you think any of those assistants had the balls to raise their hand and ask if Herman was on a year-to-year now as well? You know, since you have nothing to worry about if you're elite.

some people are bizarre when they get into power. Like, there's no way he was cool with 1 year deals when he was an assistant, but now that he's got a big nice contract, everyone else has to be on 1 year deals? What a piece of ****.
