I like it. Can't lose much more. Get someone who'd stand up to Dorrell like Kiffin did to Saban. Someone to really bother and piss off HCKD on the sidelines and then give HCKD a look reminding him that it's fun to win again.
Hiring Rod wasn't risky, it was stupid. It should have been obvious that he just didn't have the knowledge to coach at this level
I agree with you but it’s always with hindsight. Yes, Rod was a stupid hire and it was pretty obvious but we know that based on the results. Had Kelly flamed out at Oregon, people would have called it a stupid hire and said that it was obvious that his offense wouldn’t translate.
Eh, we knew that based on how he talked and his past experience. It wasn't hindsight.
I'm pretty sure Mangino's available.
Not if Country Buffett is still open 24 hours per day.
Good God.
That’s all fair. I do wonder how much of an offensive genius he is when he can’t get a plus athlete like Martinez to succeed and he ran off his top offensive skill talent (Wandale and McCaffrey). I would be curious to know how much impact he had on Marriota. That kid was special.
Meh, most coaches are dickheads. The best season in recent memory was when CU hired a prickly dickhead to run the defense. It’s not a long term solution, but a little fire being lit on the staff wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.
I’m not sure - maybe the burden of the unrealistic expectations as HC of your alma mater is just wearing on him and he might thrive getting back to what he did well that got him the job in the first place where he doesn’t carry the weight of the entire program on his shoulders? Or maybe he is overrated in general. I still expect him to take a year or so as an analyst somewhere, but he seems like a guy who will get looks at a lot of other programs again sooner than later.
I agree that he’ll have opportunities if he wants them. He’ll also have a big pile of cash to sleep on if he chooses to do that (or, half of that if his wife leaves him).
Ban?
Again, why? He’s not my favorite choice but tell me why he’d be such a terrible OC option.
Is he better than what we’ve got? Yes, pretty much anyone would be. Could we get someone equally as good without the player scapegoating and toxic personality? Absolutely
I just want a good offense, personality is pretty unimportant to me as a fan. Did he scapegoat players at Oregon or UCF, or just when he was the one answering questions as HC of a struggling program? Those questions will go to Dorrell, not the OC here.
I am not opposed to that, although he’ll have plenty of options and doubt he would even consider it here, although we do play Nebraska a couple times coming up and maybe he’d want to come here for that chance? I actually see him going to UCLA to be with Chip Kelly again.
