Good point(s). We don't know right now, but it could be that Bronco wants nothing to do with CU. And I think the likelihood of any experienced HC with a .500+ career record NOT pantsing RG in a contract negotiation is slim. I believe that cat's out of the bag for any prospect that has a functional agent who can do any research at all. Heck, all the guy would need to do is to read Allbuffs....I am a little leery of Bronco. IIRC, he flat turned Bohn down during the MikMac search.
The LDS thing is going to be awkward.
My biggest concern, is once somebody self identifies as a burn out, it is not at all uncommon for them to say to themselves "hey, I really miss that and can get right back in the groove". But the reality is, they get back and find they were right in the first place and they become dead weight.
The prospect of Bronco pantsing RG in contract negotiations and scoring a huge, guaranteed retirement on the job deal is pretty high.
My guess is that CU is going to end up with someone like Ryan Walters.
