​

Are you going to go out and FIGHT like REAL Americans to finish the 2012 season?

​

Coach Hard Jon Embree like your job and your assistants jobs are on the line..​

PERIOD.​

1. YOUR football team is WEAK and OUT-OF-SHAPE and VERY DAMN SLOW
2. YOU do not have the players to run the offensive scheme YOUR team is now trying to run
3. It would be better if Colorado football ran the ball more on offense but YOUR offensive line is so WEAK they couldn’t block the Sisters of the Poor’s defensive line
4. The Colorado defensive players are out-of-position on almost EVERY PLAY of the game and thus that is why YOUR football team gives up so many plays
5. YOUR team is NOT motivated enough and NOT tough enough to play in the Pac-12 Conference….PERIOD.

I agree this team doesn't look that in shape. Plays like it.

Ouch!

Although we will say that Colorado would right now probably be ranked in the Top 25 in I-AA (FCS) Football Rankings because back in Week 2 the Buffs barely lost to Sacramento State on their home field and on Saturday Sacramento State almost beat the No. 3 ranked Montana State team in Sacramento so IF Colorado did want to drop down to the I-AA (FCS) level in football they would be pretty competitive in Year 1!

That is one long and deservingly negative writeup on CU football. Wow.

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

Another good excerpt:

Hell, if not for a miracle last second win over Mike Leach’s hapless Washington State team which is filled with LOSERS that we would not hire to mow our lawns the Colorado Buffs would NOT HAVE WON A GAME in 2012 and in our opinion a very good case can be made that the 2012 Colorado football team is…
WORSE…
than the 2011 Colorado football in Jon Embree’s first season which went 3 – 10 and beat….
Colorado State (LOST TO in 2012)
Arizona (PLAYS in Tucson on Saturday)
Utah (Plays at home on November 23)…

which means that Colorado football is going backwards right now.​

Yeah we got to get this guy to write here. :lol:

 

[buffwings]

pretty scathing, pretty sad that it's all true. thanks benson, disteff and bohn. you asswipes clearly know how to protect the reputation of the university.

 

[Liver]

wow. it takes a big pair of cajones to pile on this team. they are only the worst team in CU history so i admire the writer for having the journalistic bravery to point it out- that is some seriously impressive work there. again.

die in a fire, douchebag "journalist."

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Meanwhile, over on sbnation they're saying this. I don't get their comments on funding and staffing because the funding is there they just need to decide to use it, and the staffing comment simply doesn't make any sense.

5. Firing Is Justifiable But Not Guaranteed

Jon Embree, Colorado
Ron English, Eastern Michigan
Dan Enos, Central Michigan
DeWayne Walker, New Mexico State

Jon Embree's team just continues to get more hopeless from week to week. Yes, the Buffs have had to fight through a ton of injuries. Yes, the recent schedule has been brutal. But in the last three games against Stanford, Oregon and USC, Colorado has been outscored, 124-6, in the first half. As we discussed last week, the athletic department seems to be attempting to address its own infrastructure (read: funding and staffing) before worrying about the head coaching position. And honestly, that might be the right approach. If nothing else, you probably need to make the job more attractive before you offer it to an attractive coach.

But despite funds and staff, despite injuries, Colorado simply has to perform better than this. There is no excuse for this, and one has to hold Embree accountable. Colorado decided that hiring a Colorado Guy™ was more important than hiring a proven head coach, and it has backfired terribly.

we should email this article to every administrator, professor and coach at the university...

I'm sure they have a filter in their email clients that routes anything with the word football into their trash folder.

 

[BuffUp]

youth, injuries, blah, blah, etc... Our guys can not even line up before the snap in correct position?? Have been coached out of fundamentals that have been learned since Pop Warner ball?? This whole staff has no clue

 

[Walter White]

The idea that good coaches don't want to come to CU is absurd. If you pay market price, you will get what the market has to offer. CU plays in a big time conference. Think of the number of people in the coaching profession and consider that there are only 12 head coaching positions in the Pac 12, which covers a good 1/3 (at least) of the land area of the USA.

The list of people who would turn down a job that pays roughly $2 million is VERY small.

 

[Walter White]

Just considering the Pac-12 Conference do the folks in Boulder believe that….
Arizona football is going backwards under Rich Rodriguez?
UCLA football will not keep improving under Jim Mora?
Arizona State is going to lay down with Todd Graham now in Tempe?
Kyle Whittingham is going to tolerate much more losing at Utah?
USC is going to let their football program slip that much more under Lane Kiffin?
Oregon is going anywhere but staying on the top of college football?
Mike Riley will allow Oregon State to slip-up again?
Washington will allow their football program to fall anymore?
California football is satisfied with Mediocrity under Jeff Tedford?
Mike Leach won’t turn around Washington State?
Stanford will allow their football program to fall off by much after the Harbaugh – Luck days?

This is the key. So many people ignore the fact that football is a zero sum game. It's not like business, where you can have a market that's growing. Apple and Microsoft can each "win" and grow business and profits at the same time. That's not the case in football. The size of the market is always the same. It's always a zero sum.

What is CU doing better than the other 11 schools? Coaching, recruiting, funding, facilities, etc.?

The problem also looming in the minds of perspective coaches - CU= career suicide. Last (head) coach CU had that is still coaching? most of them are done

I don't buy this. If CU offers market-level compensation for a top-flight coach they will have no problem attracting one. Quality-of-life bonuses re: the flatirons and Boulder may not mean much to certain classes of 18 year olds but it certainly means something to a great deal of adults with families.

I did not say they would not get a coach... $ talks...It will be like a "retirement package"

This is far from true.

Rick Neuheisel went on to coach 2 other schools, and coached in the NFL. It isn't because of his time at CU that he isn't coaching anymore.

Gary Barnett is his own worst enemy. Scandal follows him. He could probably get back into coaching at a smaller school, if he wanted to.

Dan Hawkins will get another job.

Jon Embree will probably go back to being an NFL position coach when his CU career ends.
