He confirmed that he saw a guy who looked like EB having lunch?
Boise State making moves.
For those who complain about KD not accepting responsibility, I give you Dana Holgerson.
Or….
I'd take a coach who wins games.
Don’t get me wrong. KD needs to go, like yesterday. I just thought it was funny to see a coach “literally” not take responsibility for his team’s play.
Oh, it is. But they also won.
Must be nice.
A significantly better academic school than CU giving a **** about football.
Notice the Athletic Director getting canned too.
I think I could deal with waiting until next year if I knew for certain that we'd have a new Chancellor who was fully prepared to pull the trigger on a complete house cleaning of the AD and football staff in 2023.
Roach George is gonna keep getting that $100K a month and outlive them all.
I'm gonna say it again. Hiring a coach while DiStefano is still here, but on his way out, would be a mistake. It would significantly limit the pool of applicants. How many of you would take job where your boss is getting replaced in a few months?
I understand that this is the worst CU football team since the ones that lost to Drake, but that doesn't mean you continue on the futility cycle by canning KD and hiring a new coach with the same old Chancellor. We all need to take the long view.

CU President needs to make AD a direct report and that issue goes away.
Or just hire a competent Chancellor.
If you could guarantee me that PD was going to retire at the end of this year, a new pro-athletics Chancellor hired shortly after, and then both RG and KD were going to be **** canned after another abysmal season in 2023, I could probably get on board with taking the long view. I don't have any faith that will happen, though, and even with the incompetents running the AD and campus, there are competent football coaches who can at least make this program respectable.
Still not optimal. The coach has to trust that the President will actually follow through on that. The bottom line is that uncertainty about the leadership of the Boulder campus will scare off some candidates.
Deeper candidate pool with more CU resources next year based on our circumstances.
Problem is that KD's making it impossible to wait. His historically bad results are nuking the plan.
Agreed.
I think both of these can happen. The coach isn’t going to directly report to the Chancellor. While I agree that the timing of events is far from ideal, there is a way to overcome it as Bohner points out.
Problem is, that’s a very unlikely scenario. So we are ultimately right back where we started. Have to get rid of Phil first. This bukk**** about him serving out to the end of the school year is completely unnecessary. The “school year” is an artificial construct anyway, and there are students enrolling and graduating at all times throughout the calendar year. Phil needs to go. Announce it now that he’s gone at the end of 2022. Start the process to replace him, and have the new person fully involved with the process for the new HC.
This talk of CU being broke, poor leadership, etc as reasons why they can't possibly make a change right now are all just bull**** excuses. I said it before, but this is still CFB, where coaches are hired to be fired and they are paid handsomely to go away. CU is not unique in this situation, nor are they the only AD in the country that wishes it didn't have to pay a buyout.
Isn't this the last year with unlimited transfers? That could factor into a decision to make the move now rather than wait.
If I have that right, CU could be a completely transformed team next fall.

Pheww. I was afraid we might lose Kardboard.
