The initial items that you “can accept” are indicators of the coaching staff working hard. If the coaches aren’t required to display maximum effort, why would anyone expect that the players display maximum effort?

I can accept because I recognize that some people are in the wrong job and incapable of performing and that there are also organizational problems outside their direct control which they don't have the ability to overcome.

I never felt a lack of caring or diligence from KD, but that he was in over his head.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. Effort and vision was severely lacking, especially when it came to recruiting.

Bingo, starts at the top. Coaching is much more than x's and o's. The players are gonna do what they see everyday, most not all. They see a half assed type environment, you'll get half assed effort, period.

Not that I disagree with you, but I think Lewis was likely to jump for a P5 OC job no matter what. He had reached the KSU ceiling and I there weren’t many (any?) P5 programs seriously considering him as HC.

The CU OC job under Prime immediately became one of the most attractive coordinator jobs in the country.

I disagree with this statement to an extent. The manner by which he increasingly stood stoic on the sidelines, doing who-the-hell-knows-what, was incredibly concerning to me in that regard. I was one of the last KD supporters and watching him during games, and increasingly his answers to media questions and interaction, just seemed like had no passion for the game. To me, that's caring (or not caring).

I do agree with the assertion that he probably cared for his players but had no ideas on how to change or improve the program, and certainly no ideas on how to effectively adapt during a game. I'm assuming if he did, he might have spoken up at some point.

I sort of look forward to our coordinators leaving for P5 head coaching jobs again. Who knows, maybe they come back as an CU head coach in the future. And I have full faith in Prime to backfill with quality coaches.

The evidence seems to be made clear yet again with the most recent hire. We lost our interior DL coach and immediately replaced him with one of the GOAT DL coaches. This is not just big league - it is elite.
