That countdown started about five seconds after Chev was fired.

CU Buffs hire former Minnesota OC Mike Sanford as their new OC

Is this Langsdorf thing really a strong possibility?
It sounds as though Adam dropped some info yesterday and at some point Buffalo Brad denounced his interest in the program.
I'm not asking for insider info from Adam, because the man needs to make his living. I'm just curious if this Langsdorf thing is about general pessimism or if there is credible insights behind it.

Oh..I'm asking for this insider info once the 24 hour rule is over. Should be soon I think.

WTF?
Nothing reported that either confirms or refutes Langsdorf as the leader at the turn.
Adam's latest was that it is a full search, but may take a bit of time to be done.
KD is interviewing outside of recruiting hours with LC setting things up, is how it sounds like it's going.
It's a full search and our coach is doing the things required for his job is supposed to be encouraging?
Happy hannukah Nik!
I think the encouraging part is relative in that it sounds like it’s not just “promote Danny Langsdorf”
Compared to the assumption that CU would go cheap by making an internal hire of a guy who failed in his job as position coach? Yes.
The fact that he is even still on staff speaks volumes. Anyone remotely connected to this year's offensive performance should be out of work.

This is what has me concerned. Feels like they will feign a search and then realize, wow, we have Langsdorf right here, under our noses. It’s happened before.
Because anything even remotely resembling that would cause the pitchforks to come out. I am prepared to hear that they conducted a national search and came to the conclusion that Langsdorf was their guy.
Bryan Cook is also available.
Until we hire him anyway. After an exhaustive search we find the best candidate was on staff. We did this last year at DC

In fairness, while not great, I don’t think the job Wilson had done with the d-line in 2020 was viewed as unfavorably as the job Langsdorf did with the QBs this year.

WTF?
Chad O’Shea
Currently Passing Game Coordinator/WR coach for Cleveland Browns. 2019 he was the OC for the Miami Dolphins alongside KD as ACH/WR coach.

Plus, apples & oranges. Langsdorf was never on Barnett's staff.
Delivered the worst rush offense in the NFL that year and 25/32 on points, 27/32 on total yards. Got fired after 1 season as OC.
Sounds like he'll make our short list.
Which in terms of how CU athletics works means that we will get a new OC hired sometime maybe by June.
And he will be the friend of somebody with prior ties to either CU or KD.
And he will be thoroughly and completely unimpressive.
Does Langsdorf have a house in Boulder? Asking for a friend.

Should probably add Rick Dennison to that short list with how many times he and KD crossed paths. He is also available and not in demand.

I’d take Joe Brady.
I don’t think they’d offer a person who is refusing vaccination.

You and your logic. All the more reason, create an unnecessary scandal as well.
It’s hard for me to assess the job Lansdorf did at QB without knowing how much of a voice he had in the offensive scheme.
When the QB has no o-line, how can you tell?

Outside of Sean Mannion, what on his resume suggests he’s a good QB coach/OC? Could he prove people wrong? Sure, but the track record suggests he’s a very mediocre coach and playcaller, and mediocre might be generous.
How about the fact that at the end of the year Lewis was still locking onto a receiver pre-snap and indecisively patting the ball while staring him down before releasing?
Just as Coach Rod wasn't the reason that Chev failed, Chev was not the reason that Langsdorf failed.
CU needs to be like any program with any pride or standards by simply not signing Langsdorf to a new contract. It's time to move on because it didn't work.
Big Jim
WTF?
Scapegoating DC and giving the rest of the offensive staff a pass is a surefire recipe to repeat bad bad results. Every offensive coach from this season should be shopping hard for a new job.
