Expecting a hire any day now
any idea of who?
sanchez is a well regarded coach... who cares where he came fromLooks like a good hire. But, I will say this... CU doesn't look very far for coaching hires. Lappe, Boyle, Sanchez... and even Embree to some degree
I can find you the perfect coach. Make your $250k check payable to one Mr. B Palazzo.What's interesting to me is that when we talk about the coaching searches for other schools, we always bring up ties to the school or state as a reason why a particular candidate might make sense. But when we talk about our own CU searches, it seems like those ties get used as a negative. There goes Bohn, making another I-25 hire.
From what I know, I like this Sanchez hire.
BCS - answer me this: Can you tell me what it is about this guy (guys) that are so wonderful? Looking at his record at Wyoming, I'm not that impressed. Seems like he lost nearly as many games as he won. I'm the farthest thing from an expert in this issue, but I did take a minute or two to look at the guys bio.
wyoming was horrible before he got there i mean below .500 every year... that said most of what i saw was at metro.... his teams were tactically superior in every way vs every opponent, positionally sound, they played an exciting attacking style of soccer, they were incredibly disciplined and tight knit teams and metro hasnt been the same since he left
tactics do matter in soccer but as for recruiting he did wonders at metro... he got some people at metro that unc had offers out to back in the dayI hope he realizes he's in the big leagues now. He won't be able to be tactically better than anybody in the Pac 12. He'll need to be both tactically sound and talented. He better know how to recruit. There's a lot of good girls soccer players in Colorado (Longmont in particular, for some weird reason).

(I know this is old news, and that this seems like an okay hire to some of you...but...)
HEY, WHAT A SURPRISE! MIKE BOHN JUST HIRED ANOTHER GUY FROM THE GENERAL AREA! His hiring practices and candidate research must be outstanding.
...I for one still am annoyed that Hempen is out. I don't (and most likely none of us really do) know whether he was semi-forced out or not, but this guy is replacing a great head coach. He has very large shoes to fill. (Hempen was a great coach before CU in case some of you are thinking Hempen only had a handful years of solid play along with several mediocre/poor ones).
oh shut up duke... i know you love hempen because hes a dukey...sanchez is a good coach and he is a very good fit... stop bitching about where he came from
they could... absolutely... but im tired of the whole damn oh no bohn just looked up and down i-25 bs... if the right hire is right down the street it shouldnt matter if they where they came fromYou accuse him of backing Hempen because he's a Duke guy, but many could accuse you of supporting the new guy just because he was at Metro.
/knows nothing about soccer
I think you put too much stock in where the coach comes from... by the way how do you know he didnt... just because they end up being from the area doesnt mean he didnt reach out?
dyemeduke,
Did you disagree with firing Hempen? Between the recent results and the ill will he had garnered with high school coaches in Colorado, I think it was time. I believe his key assistant left in the last year for a HC job, too, and that hurt a lot.
