And I'd argue that money seems to talk a bit in sports. I don't imagine he's making a ton of money as the Seahawks Passing Game Coordinator. Offer him good money and see what happens.

Petri to LA Tech per Coaching Search ticker. Likely next DC still in NFL playoffs at this point. Either go off of MM's comments of DC should have PAC 12 experience or this coach has worked with MM in the past. Doubt we've struck out as much as we assume.

Off to germinate in Central Louisiana. Another swab story for CU fans.

Money means a lot, but you are overstating its reach as it pertains to the CU defensive coordinator position. He has good job security in Seattle and is likely in line for much better jobs in the next 2-3 years. Coming back to the college game to turn around a Pac-12 bottom feeder is likely not too appealing.

Just offering possibilities. Maybe he wants to come back to the college game. Maybe he likes the challenge of coming here. Maybe he isn't happy in Seattle. All possibilities.

I still think money has one of the loudest voice in a world of egomaniac's.

If he is not happy in Seattle, he can find other jobs with much less risk. But something tells me he is very happy in Seattle (wife is originally from there) and the possibilities you are offering just sound a lot like wishful thinking.

No is disputing your assertion that money is important.

Yep, and with the NFL's financial struggles and CU being flush with cash, why on earth would he NOT come to CU?

The possibilities are just things popping into my head as I wait. Seto is a Pac 12 guy, so if he wanted to come back to the conference he has limited options right now. Obviously this is all for not if he gets hired as a DC in the league, but that hasn't happened yet so god dammit I'm gonna believe.

Thanks for your smartass answer. Now please, go back and attempt to understand what I'm saying in my posts or hit the road, Jack.

That's the crux of it: does he prefer working with you people or professionals? CU's only shot at Seto is if he's itching to get back on a college campus. The NFL opportunities seem like they're going to be there for him if he chooses that career path.

I think if CU was to have a shot with Seto he would of had to been the hire 2 years ago when Bradley was still the DC. Now though? Why leave when Quinn is gone in a few weeks or a year from now at most.

Maybe he isn't going to get the promotion?

It wasn't that long ago that he thought he was going to UCLA to be their DC. He must have some interest in the college game.

Sark tried to get him to take the Washington DC job, too. Interest but Seto had given his word to a player that he'd stay put through then next year and wouldn't go back on it.

Interesting - I hadn't read about that opportunity.
 
Have Seto and MMac crossed paths? I am not saying that is required; but if the had some familiarity Seto coming to CU would seem more likely. I would be happy if it happens. I just think it is a long long shot.
I don't think the delay in naming a DC means it's more likely to be a coach on one of the remaining active NFL teams. My guess is the delay is MMac being thorough and specifically stating what he wants which may not match with some of the candidates, MMacs desire to be part of the DC planning could have turned off Gibbs who knows.
I also don't think we are striking out left and right, maybe wishful thinking. When we hire a really promising young DC, we'll know the answer. Keep that positive energy out there.
 
Seto also seemingly loves working for Pete Carroll. No reason to think he'd up and be unhappy now randomly.

Dewayne Walker people. That's where we need to set our hopes and dreams!

Mac was a coach for the Jets the same time Dan Quinn was coaching for the Jets. There certainly appears to be familiarity with Seattle's coaching staff to make an introduction.

either we are striking out left and right and scrambling to find the right guy or we are waiting for someone who is involved in other things right now, like the playoffs. or a combo of both.

please, mr. unicorn, shat forth a glorious dc riding a rainbow waterfall of recruiting triumph.

Unfortunately, this is what I'm hearing...
 
If Clune and Orlando took lateral conference moves rather than get an offer from Mac, then Mac better hire a name that would make those hypothetical hires here look small time by comparison. Otherwise a Mountain West team and an AAC team just clowned us.
