USC just hired two major assistants, guys that had jobs. To a program that many believe is very likely to have a head coach get fired this season.
USC has a lot of money and a desirable place to live.
Colorado has competitive salary. I'm not suggesting finding SEC coaches for parallel moves.
Dorrell last called plays at Vanderbilt during a disaster year. Before that, it was like 20 years ago. No?
SoUrCeS??
Competitive with USC? How would you know?
"Believe" what you want but don't present it as if it's the only valid viewpoint. None of that even argues or addresses what I said where I suggest plenty of reasons that it is absolutely a harder time for CU to be hiring coaches, USC, with all their money and prestige, being able to hire coaches 2-3 weeks ago (one of them a known mercenary with LA ties and the other a huge upgrade in prestige and $) doesn't mean it isn't more difficult for CU to hire coaches in March or that it wasn't even a more difficult process for USC. No one said it was impossible. Being completely dismissive of arguments against yours will never make you more right at something no matter how long you try it as a tactic.
To reference our earlier discussion, I think it’s fair to question the quality of some of those USC hires, UVA DL coach notwithstanding.
Let's assume that you are right, in that an opportunity at CU is very attractive for a proven P5 coach at this or any time of year. Why then, are we not getting any of those guys? Are you suggesting that the triumvirate of RG/LC/KD will not consider proven P5 coaches if they do not have ties to CU?
Not only that, CU has not been a attractive place for coaches for like 10+ years.
Boulder has mountains, dammit.
Him and Cymone George are dating, so he might like the job for that. Also no one wants to live in Cleveland.
Southern California is a **** hole! I know I lived there bad traffic, the taxes are outrages and USC is in the dregs of the City. They have to over pay.
I’ve lived there too. Best place I’ve ever lived by a long shot.
CU is competitive in salary with the PAC12, B12, and ACC, except for a few schools. USC being one of them. I never claimed we should be hiring guys away from Oregon (their ace recruiter btw). It's simply an example I used to show that guys will change jobs in 2H of Feb or 1H of March. It happens. Guys leave for better offers. Guys leave Oregon for USC this time of year. Surely, guys might leave some of these other lesser situations for Boulder. It's possible. Open your mind to it.
It isn’t impossible, but it is very difficult to get really good coaches weeks before spring practice. It is more difficult to get people with significant recruiting chops after the move cycle has expired. It’s naive to suggest otherwise just because a few exceptions to the rule. There are over 1300 ACs in the FBS. How many are moving in March?
Why is it? I hear it said. I see all jobs being filled.
No ac is leaving a good situation right now unless you double their salary. And even then it's questionable.
Because they’ve recruited their 2020 class of players and are busy getting ready to install various portions of their team’s concepts with returning players. Most spring practices are happening this month. There are movement periods for ACs typically after the season when the HC gets fired/quits and also after the first signing day. It is uncommon for coaches to move this late in the game without a significant financial or personal incentive driving the move.
