It appears that all of those experienced linemen are big fat fatty fats with no ability to beat the man in front of them.
I'm guessing they have the ability to beat someone who called them a big fat fatty fat.
Gotta catch him first.
best hire CU ever made was the long time michigan defensive coordinator, known for his recruiting skills and fiery coaching.
one of the worst hires CU ever made was the defensive coordinator at uga, who apprenticed under the game's best and who was known for recruiting skills and fiery coaching.
one of the best hires CU made was the former head coach of a b10 school that punched over its weight class and that coach was a previous assistant at CU.
one thing i think we can say is a pattern:
guys from the NFL have not done well here, so far. fairbanks (straight from the patriots as hc), embree, or dorrell.
i hope kd finds a way.
Big Jim
WTF?
Add Midnight to your NFL list.
Chev being a head coach at CU or any other FBS program is laughable to me. He's not even an OC, doesn't want to recruit, calls plays for ****, etc.. It's plain as day. Let him go coach at an FCS or high school team.
Disagree with the bolded, assuming we're talking about the same guy. My measure of good hire/bad hire is partially determined by on-field results but also partially determined by whether or not CU is/was better off when the coach left than when they got here. I think you have to separate the fact that he left out of the assessment- CU was better off when he left than when he got here.
I wouldn't even rank him in the bottom 3 (Fairbanks, Embree, Hawkins).
Totally agree on Tucker. I think MSU will do well under him.
Colorado is what it is. A P5 program with a solid pedigree where a coach can win, but not a blue blood with a recruiting pipeline that can easily replenish the program with high level talent.
RG was following the right formula by pursuing elite (coaching and recruiting) coordinators that want a HC gig. Then he **** the bed by going with KD as his backup plan.
The coordinators hired as HC will either win and possibly move on to a blue blood program, stay and keep winning, or lose and get fired but likely leaving decent talent in the cupboard.
We only want people who want to be Buffs
Back to the accountability theme.
What I'm thinking about is "when do the regents know they have a disaster on their hands?"
I think they find out when RG has to go them with budget projections for the 22-23 school year.
If attendence craters this year (likely), and season ticket renewals are way down in the spring, the budget projections for next year will be terrible - like cutting staff and /or general budget having to loan the AD money terrible.
At that point even the regents would conclude that RG has to go. A new AD will get hired with one job requirement: fix the budget. I would expect any candidate worth actual consideration to tell them "the way to fix the budget is to fix football." This would be happening in fall of 22, when everything on the field is returning to where it was a decade earlier.
But, let's backup. That's when the regents will realize they have a problem.
When will RG realize he has a problem? It's kind of obvious that he's not looking at recruiting results as an early indicator.
I don't think it'll fully set in for him how big the problem is until he sees Folsom nearly empty at kickoff, and then stay that way the rest of the game.
If/when that happens, he'll be smart enough to (finally) see that he has a real problem. It will be interesting to see who the regents allow him to hold accountable at that point.

Good lord. He handed off the Champions Center as a powerful recruiting tool to our series of head coaches. It's fascinating to me that they have not been leveraged for more success.
Where’s Rick George’s accountability in all this?
Right at the top of the list. The money is there. They got raises for the current staff and can get them again. Without a compelling football coach hire, what’s the point?
So I was at the SC game, first home game for me in at least five years. What an incredible setting for a game, in every respect - Folsom, flatirons, student section, weather, great alumni support, legends (Westbrook, JJ, and more) in the house. How in the **** do we not have a good team? It really is heartbreaking. I truly believe what Barnett and former coaches have said….this is a sleeping giant. How great it would be to wake up that massive bitch. The support for this team would grow exponentially. Oh well. Carry on.
With a facility like the Champions Center, any football failings will make the accountability shortcomings of the football team more glaring.

The Champions Center was leading edge and should have been used as a recruiting weapon at the time. Now? It doesn’t stand out from the competition by much. It’s become table stakes.
It wasn’t leading edge when it was finished. It was merely keeping up with everyone else’s.
Evaluating recruiting and on-field results both before and after the Champions Center, we should be able to deduce, success is only about people. Find the guy who is a winner and pay him and his friends beyond what they could dream. Coulda gone light on the CC and saved the extra 75 mil to buy actual results, instead of K f-ing D.
Recruiting is sales.
The Champions Center is a part of the product.
The people on this board who are in sales can tell you that the product doesn't sell itself. The sales are made by the people who create the relationships and communicate the product and how it fits the customers needs.
There are plenty of textbook cases dealing with all kinds of products where a company fails despite having a superior product.
Sales are made by the people who have the drive and the focus to be more effective sales people than their competition. We haven't seen that outside of short spurts since before the "scandal" caused GB to lose interest.

Below are a few back to back to back questions from the Denver media to Broncos OC, Pat Shurmur, pertaining to his ****ty playcalling last week w/r/t the run game. These aren't even that hard hitting, but the media is at least going to consistently hammer various points home and make Broncos coaches answer. Where is this from the media covering the Buffs? Instead of forcing KD and Chev to answer semi-tough questions, we get guys like Howell asking leading questions to provide an opening for them to dance around it or make excuses for themselves.
