I’d be all for it as well, I am just wondering why every school (save for a few) in the country isn’t after him

The SWAC obviously isn’t that strong of a league. You have teams like Grambling, Alcorn State, Mississippi Valley State, etc. that have always had some talent and have produced some good NFL players over the years.
Prior to his arrival, the two previous coaches at Jackson State were 15-29 for a 0.340 winning percentage. Sanders has a 0.764 winning percentage. But, I am certain that the infusion of talent has played a role in his winning, but I’m also pretty sure the infusion of talent at Alabama helped Nick Saban win too.
As I’ve said before, Sanders has a reputation for being a solid person, really introspective and thoughtful, which belies the whole Primetime image.
Sanders would be a high risk candidate, but it would be a bold move by CU if he became head coach.

Freeze isn't going anywhere. Just signed big contract to stay at Liberty.
Fact or Fiction: Jim Leonhard, Hugh Freeze, USC & UCLA - Mike Farrell Sports
In Mike Farrell's Fact or Fiction, he determines whether Jim Leonhard should be pushing the Badgers AD...mikefarrellsports.com
Because most ADs are old white guys who don’t want a head coach who is bigger than the program. Unfortunately, while CU desperately needs someone like Sanders, the uncertainty surrounding the program and its support levels may is too big of an impediment. If he goes to a place with deep pockets, he could be a home run hire.

I'd love Sanders in Boulder but not happening.

The buyout is not believed to be prohibitive for any bigger school that decides they really want him.

Source? That would seem strange for a fully guaranteed contract. May indeed be true, but not sure this is a good move by Kiberty.

Footballscoop had an article on it yesterday. No firsthand knowledge of the deal.
This is the same school whose former president was involved in a bizarre situationship alongside his wife and a twenty-something busboy…. Smart is not a part of the equation.
No details given since Liberty is private but sounds like the buyout wouldn't be enough to prevent a P5 program from hiring him. Plus the contract reportedly has a P5 buyout clause in it.
Hugh Freeze contract: Liberty rewards fourth-year coach with fully guaranteed deal over next eight seasons
Freeze's new deal will pay him $40 million through 2030, though he reportedly has a Power Five-friendly buyout

Seems like another lifetime since it's been that way. It was once upon a time. I admit I got spoiled seeing CU up there with all the better programs. I doubt I'm the only one.

Just saw this stat: CU has posted a better than .500 record just twice in the last 17 years. In the previous 21 years, they were sub .500 just 3 times.Seems like another lifetime since it's been that way. It was once upon a time. I admit I got spoiled seeing CU up there with all the better programs. I doubt I'm the only one.
I still can’t believe the ****ty teams we trot out year after year due to those previous 21 years.

CU football is 54-103 since DiStephano became permanent chancellor in 2009 and in those 14 years has had 2 winning seasons with one being the 6 game COVID shortened season.
Over that same period we’ve had 5 head football coaches (plus 3 interims), 2 Athletic Directors, 3 CU Presidents, and we’ve been part of 2 different conferences.
There’s one constant in the downfall of CU football and the sooner that f**ker is gone, the better.
I could deal with this if someone could show me how Dr. Phil has in some other area enhanced the standing of the university, made it recognizably better at either the mission of teaching or research. So far the answer to that has been zero. He has been the person in charge in a period where across the board things have been sliding towards mediocracy, or worse.
First priority in not just athletics but overall is getting rid of him and putting somebody in that office who understands that leadership means aiming for excellence in what you do.
Harsin out
Auburn fires Bryan Harsin: Tigers end awkward, unsuccessful tenure of second-year coach
Harsin lost 10 of his last 13 games to end his time on The Plains

Shocker!
Doubtful. I don’t think Wichita State even has a football team anymore.
Auburn would be wise to go this route
I'm confused? Bo Nix? Is this a joke tweet? He's a senior so I'm lost.
Hokie and I are happy to have you in the club.

The joke, which is now ruined, is about a Gus Malzahn / Bo Nix reunion at Auburn.
Google “UCF Football Coach” and the former school of Oregon’s current QB.
I knew Bo Nix transferred from Auburn. Was not aware that Malzahn was coaching UCF lol.
