Don Brown - DC University of Michigan

Tosh worries me. Can he recruit without:

1) Coaching at Alabama
2) Cheating

He recruited his face off for Cal and Washington.

In terms of whether he cheats: http://blogs.seattletimes.com/husky...ses-tosh-lupoi-case-no-penalties-handed-down/

So either he's clean and great while obeying the rules or he's a ****ing genius at breaking the rules without getting caught. Either way, sign me up for having guys like that coaching at CU.

I don't know who you could get to coach UNM football and it not be a train wreck.

After Tumpkin, hiring Locksley would be the wrong move for CU.

Not that anyone considered it serious, but looks like Don Brown isn't interested in being a HC:

How good is Michigan's Don Brown? 'No one better,' Harbaugh says

"If you said to me, 'Hey! How would you like to coach offense?' I'd have no interest in doing that. Zero!" Brown said. "I just like the challenge of stopping people. The demeanor and the culture that you try to develop on the defensive side of the ball fits my personality better. In life, you figure out who you are."

If you could make over a million dollars a year doing what you love and enjoying a ton of respect from peers, why would you chase a job you wouldn't like that had more stress and pressure where the only real benefits were prestige and money?

Now that the money in college football has gotten to the point that coordinators can get "**** you" money, we're going to see more and more of this.

A meaningful (and growing) percentage of coaches will be taking jobs not because they can get a raise, but because they like the working conditions better.

Hell, I make a fraction of what these guys do and I stay in my current job despite being able to make far more money elsewhere.

Same here. A year ago, I took a consulting job that pays 50% less than what I was earning before in exchange for 30 days paid vacation, travel/hotel perks, serious influence with multiple clients, and a hands-off boss. It’s been the best year of my work life.

That's cool and all, but you've been spending a lot of that extra time with us.

2 years ago, I was making more money than I ever made in my life - and I was completely miserable. I'm in a MUCH better place today even if the money isn't quite the same.
