You shouldn't paint all consultants with the same brush.
Some of them are very valuable.
Chuck Neinas may have gotten paid a fortune by CU, but look at all the good he did us.
I trust/hope that you are kidding. Chuck Neinas did CU no real favors that I can recall. He was Mike Bohn's right hand man, and look at what happened to the Bohner at USC. Another lawsuit. Of the CU football hires/attempted hires:
1. Gary Barnett-- This was his best assist for CU, I thought GB was a good coach, but he had the scandal, the lawsuit, then the Bohner fired him.
2. Dan Hawkins--Bohner turned to Neinas again, we try to forget how that went--we hired the wrong guy Chris Peterson?
3. The Butch Jones debacle-- I guess we dodged a bullet; I think Todd Graham was Neinas recommendation too--another bullet dodged.
4. John Embree--as I recall he was hired again, as Bohn's consultant.
5. Mike Mac--good man and gave us one good season.
Other Neinas hiring wins:
1. Randy Shannon, Miami--lasted 4 seasons, the South Florida loss ended his tenure.
2. Butch Davis, North Carolina--the academic scandal, they forfeited 2 years of games and he was fired--he was there 4 seasons;
3. Ron Prince, K-State, lasted 2 years then huge lawsuit, a secret deferred compensation agreement between the former AD and Prince nobody knew about and K-State paid out millions. He only appeared once again as head coach of Howard. Fired for verbal abuse of players.
4. Ty Willingham, Notre Dame, 3 seasons (21-15) then destroyed UW's program, they went 0-12 his last season.
5. Chuck Long, San Diego State-- 9-27
6. Charlie Strong, Texas-- no winning seasons.
7. George O'Leary, Notre Dame-- fudged resume, never coached a game--Isn't this the due diligence Neinas was hired to do? Tied with Mike Price for the worst hire ever.
Neinas did have some successful hires, but many of the guys listed above are on the worst coaching hires ever list!! That is never good.He did do some good things for the Big 8 and Big 12, as I recall.
However, now we circle back to the Bohner fired for: hanky panky with a student/co-worker; being a known hair sniffer, unwanted toucher/masseuse, and maker of unwanted advances/odd sexual statements. I think he sort of comes in somewhere between Anthony Weiner (the worst) and either of the Cuomo brothers. Did Neinas firm do the bg check from Cinci for Bohner's SC hire? I could not do enough research, I don't know if Neinas was engaged in these hires, but the following picture posts are welcome additions to brighten any day:
1. Bobby Petrino and his student assistant with the moped. She was way too hot for Bobby and he was holding on for dear life!
2. Richrod's similar debacle, as I recall she was hot too.
3. Rick Petino and the lady of the evening busted by the FBI for extortion.
4. Any picture of Mike Price at the strip club or didn't he have DUI footage b/c he was so hammered.
Maybe Phil D will become a hired "consultant" when he leaves?
