Yep. If the players knew anything, it would have leaked.

Wave to all the players reading AllBuffs looking for scoop.

Agreed but the pessimist in me says all it would take is for the AD to step on its d!ck again and have the preferred candidate(s) get cold feet and balk.
I am in no way guaranteeing it won't be him. But at least we've seen names indicating this wasn't just a show to promote him in the end.
This is where my head went. It's not done until the ink is dry. Waiting for that 11th hour Landsdorf kick in the balls...
After thinking about it, Sanford would be a pretty decent pick up. I would be OK with that level of hire.

WTF?
The name for that particular mental illness is called "Getting Ahead of Yourself".

Last few years/stops a little choppy, but clearly an upgrade.
Re the self promotion of the offensive style... I am fully on board with him doing all the self promotion as the CU OC. This program needs hype and intrigue in the biggest possible way. Marion to CU would be talked about nationally, IMO. Sanford would be a footnote locally.
I don't think anyone at CU will complain if he have a high powered offense to go with it
They will.
I have absolutely no problem with this

Marion, Sanford, either would be a huge upgrade from what we had.
Unfortunately I've been a fan of CU long enough to know that both coaches are using CU for leverage and will not be coming here.
Super excited for the presser with KD and RG telling us how Langsdorf really checked all the boxes on what they were looking for with the OC.

Mel Tucker was the biggest self promoter this program has ever had. Coaches are the stars in college football, not the players. CU needs this.

Sanford is unemployed so, he has no leverage.
Big Jim
WTF?
He'll get a P5 job with his background. He has leverage.

Only if CU is the only school he is talking with.

Marion is VERY aggressive with regards to promoting himself and his career. Look at his job history.
2 years coaching high school.
1 year as a qc assistant at ASU
1 year as a d2 RB coach
3 years as an FCS OC.
1 year as a G5 WR coach
1 year as a P5 WR coach
Potentially a P5 OC...
He's trying to get to the top. Personally I love it. I want guys like this in our program. I want people that demand success from themselves. If he succeeds here he's going to be looking for a HC position in a couple of seasons. Let's hope he takes KD's job.

"Coffee is for closers" Chev was the best Chev.
Yep.
Of course, we will have some people who think that "ambitious" and "upwardly mobile" are negative traits in a coach.
I was thinking about this recently. Who on the staff today had the potential to be a HC? I don't think anyone. Outside of at CU who could even become a coordinator? Coach Smith maybe, not sure there is anyone else.
Big Jim
WTF?
Maybe coach Michalowski
Let Marion come in here, fix this "O" for a couple years. KD steps aside after his contract is over. Marion gets the HC job. CU is back on top for a decade! (Dreaming I know)
