Colorado reportedly reaches out to Utah State's Gary Andersen

ARGH:

Regarding Colorado, sources close to Utah State HC Gary Andersen tell us he should be not viewed as a candidate http://www.footballscoop.com/the-scoop

Apparently not interested. This is starting to feel like last time. Lots of candidates publicly pulling out.

I'm saddened by this.

Reed Marks is tweeting that Anderson isn't interested in Colorado job.

Pretty, pretty, pretty....pretty good.

Rep for you, Larry!

Strong in a heartbeat. CU would be quelching all race talk(not like they need to, but some folks in Boulder are listening to the BS) and bring in a big name coach with BCS experience. It's just sad that Stitt is being completely dismissed(it doesn't mention OC though). Not opposed to Andersen, but hiring another up and coming coach gives me the heebie jeebies.

I will be absolutely shocked if Strong doesn't end up in the SEC. Is he even interested in CU?

You guys just have to do it right. When Utah hired Urban Meyer, he was an up and coming coach with only a limited resume as a head coach at Bowling Green.

That was one hire that changed the entire trajectory of Utah. He wasn't here long, but his influence remains.

It's all about finding the right guy for the program.

I have Post Traumatic Hawk Disorder too...but Hawk didn't turn around Boise State, he inherited a pretty good program. Andersen took a POS program like ours and turned it around. It should be easier to recruit here and his X and Os are great. I'm guessing he, or any good coach, should get us at least 4 wins next season.

Step 1. Recruit well at all positions. If one has inherited a team with talent, congratulations, and proceed to step 2
Step 2. Coach well at all positions. If one has talent and has prepared that talent, congratulations, and proceed to step 3
Step 3. Have a good game plan.

Rinse, repeat

Facilities may be an issue here.

Wow he chooses Utah State over CU. Well can't blame him, you want to stay where you feel at home.
