Surprising for a team that averages 41 points a game.

yup kind of crazy it seems
ok, daddy warbucks.... what do we look like around here, a bunch of stanford grads who can torch one dollar bills to light their cigars?
we're state school grads. i thought you'd be more sensitive to this sort of classism as a cal fan.
Just a dollar bill?!?
hey man, we need those untorched dollar bills. they're all going in a giant golden wheel-barrel, filled with cash and jewels, to be laid at the feet of our unicorn coach, as an offering.
no, i was expressing my surprise that stanford grads only use one dollar bill to light their cigars, i was expecting something slightly more valuable
Man he has been in some good places with some good coaches. Has coached some pretty good QBs

sure, THEY probably do. i was talking about how broke we allegedly are. how can us poor modest little Buffs possibly pay for a coach? we must save our pennies and nickels and such. i suppose we could do like cal grads and panhandle in berkeley?
i kid. i kid.
I like Stitt more than most here, and I think he's a pretty sharp offensive mind. I wonder if there would be support for a Holgo HC Chev/Stitt Co-OC combo. It would be a good way to save some money on the coordinators because Holgerson will not be as cheap as a lot of the options being discussed, but Holgo would definitely be training those two on how to be P5 OCs. I have to think that Stitt's probably still pretty well-connected in the Colorado HS coaching community, which would check a box for me.
IIRC, Holgerson has given Stitt credit for basically inventing the Fly Sweep that goes down as a pass but is basically a handoff, so there could be precedent for that.
I....WANT....THIS....DUDE.

Why are we still on the "Chiv co-OC" train?

Agreed. Chiaverini is nowhere close to untouchable. Likeable but very dispensable at this point.

'Tis an excellent point. But when you can get quirky, you don't look back.
So much that I liked in that piece. Most importantly was the growth. Sounded like he's actually thinking about his defense now, worrying about the CEO of the program stuff and actually taking the time to care about people -- not just the mad scientist offensive genius who couldn't be bothered with much else. That's the progression I wanted to hear that he is making.
Dang that's sexy. I am more convinced than ever his agent is just using us for a raise, but this was my fav part:
He is the exact opposite of Mike Mac personality-wise. That is a good thing in my book.

My clear #1. So, do we think CU has what it will take to win a bidding war with WVU?
I'll donate my buck ninety five.
There's a risk with that, too, in terms of the players on the roster and their parents.
didnt rg say he wanted to make a “splash”...hiring dana would
Well, I would not be dissappointed with his hire at all. Will be dancing with a lampshade on my head in fact if this gets done.
That's going to be an "issue" with any new coach. These kids and their parents bought into MM and his "McLovin" personality. There's a place for that, but I think MM went too far in that direction and it was almost too coddly. You think players are coddled by and look to Saban, Kirby Smart, Harbaugh, Meyer, etc as a father figure? Part of taking the next step for this program is getting rid of the fragile and coddled mentality that seems to have settled in under MM in years 5 and 6.
Interesting how many WVU fans simply couldn't care less if Holgorsen leaves. Remember he was on the hot seat not long ago, but made the adjustments. Could certainly do worse.
On Spavital, still haven't seen a fan base where he's coached say good things about him.

I really hope WVU administration has the same thoughts
