Why would Bryan McGinnis be involved in finalizing a short list of OC candidates? Isn't he responsible for team travel, and **** like that?

CU Buffs hire former Minnesota OC Mike Sanford as their new OC
- Thread starter Creebuzz
- Start date
At this point, I'm starting to think they didn't start looking around until after they officially fired him.
Or they had a list and have had to coordinate time to meet in person. If Marion is/was a candidate, did anyone expect an in person meeting prior to the ACC CG?
Well, if we take CU IT guy as truth, it's possible that Karl and LC sent a short list of OC candidates for Bryan to coordinate in person meetings with

LOL try explaining anything these administrators are doing or have done in the last couple years that makes any logical sense at all.
I'm not saying you're wrong, just that you are attempting to apply logic to a program and people that aren't bothered with applying logic to most anything they do.

Agreed. I can't tell.
A couple of things - first, it was reported here that the decision to drop Chev was made weeks ago. Obviously, that might be completely fabricated. Second, I think some of us, including me, are still expecting Langsdorf to be named OC. If that happens, then the delay just seems stupid
They still have Chev listed as OC on the athletics website, if that is any indication of how quickly this process is moving. Maybe @CU IT guy was supposed to take care of that?

The website content is actually the responsibility of the Sports Information department. )
Based upon what @CU IT guy has said about the state of affairs at CU, perhaps this is his work computer?

They are moving way too slow. All the good ones are gonna get taken.
A little of both. I am not going to get too worried until after 12/15 or so. I would rather they do their due diligence. The "hot" names are not going to be candidates here anyway. CU does not shop at Nieman-Marcus, we are more Kohl's customers. Then again, this is CU, we could be reading and waiting on this thread in Mid-February.
Both.
Ryan Grubb is off to UW to continue to coach under Deboer, so no more competition there. Wazzu is off the board with their OC, and Oregon still needs to hire a coach. They are using a search firm, so that might take a second
I would say if the rumors about KD wanting to get rid of Chev last year but wasn't allowed to due to $$, then it is not on impatience. That's entirely ineptitude on their part for not locking in on the guy they wanted weeks or months before the firing of Chev. Hell, even if those rumors aren't true, I can't imagine KD decided just in the 2 days after season end on whether or not to fire Chev. He at least had made this decision before the last week of the season. Process should have started then. No matter how you spin it, they should have had their guy and the contract ready to go. Only thing that should have held back an announcement would be if the new OC was someone that had a playoff game to prep/coach for. And we all know we aren't even pissing in those waters let alone swimming in them.
We technically have an OL job to fill also. And no, nobody outside of a few passionate CU fans and guys who get paid to cover CU athletics gives a damn.

WTF?
The Camera had a list about a week ago. I haven't seen any others published anywhere.

Howell mentioned Sterlin Gilbert, along with the Pitt WR coach, today in his chat. Just speculation on his part. He was not retained on the Syracuse staff after this season, so he's a free agent.

Sterlin has seen his career fall off a cliff over the past several years…probably not the guy you’re looking for.

Sounds like a perfect fit for CU.
Only if he doesn't recruit as well
The strangest thing about Dino's era at Syracuse is that he hasn't been able to find the formula to filed a great offense. That was his calling card and he's cycled through a bunch of OCs.
WTF does Howell keep mentioning Gilbert does he know something, or is he just that inept?

I think Brian would point out that Cuse was a top 20 rushing offense this year. Problem was, they couldn’t get anything going in the passing game and it wasn’t just one down year for Gilbert.
Lynch had a couple of good seasons as OC and now's coaching RB's and they had a great year running the ball

WTF?
Kurt Roper too.
