That's leverage for negotiating a high buyout to offset the fear he only stays he a year or two.
A lot of people who would have been solid hires last time (or next time) don't fit the bill in this instance, which is why I'm ok with the thought of Bieniemy as HC.
Exactly.
should I read this as EB is CU's #1 target and if he says yes he's the next HC ?
EB in 5-7 days is good enough
No matter how long he is here, just photocopy that Chiefs playbook and put it in a safe! If I am Lewis, Miller, Rice, Arias and others, this potential offense would make me giddy!!!

Photocopy a pro playbook? Good call.
I don't. Known entity you don't need vetting for. Just like I didn't need to see other interviews for AD if Rick George wanted the job at the time that hire was made.
Which makes me think the rumor is only partially accurate.

That is what I'm told. Really it is going to come down to EB and if he can get staff that he wants, then he will accept.
So I believe we were at 3.3 million for assistants in 2018 and that dropped to 3.1 million in 2019. What do we think is the amount EB is looking for to get the right staff in here? I would think around $4 is doable with the money from Tucker if we don't have a ton of buyouts from the current assistants. Then hopefully we can increase that about 100K a year like we were doing with Mac.
100K a year is not nearly enough.

I was told yesterday that Ryan Walters was out. I don't know if a CU pass or a Walters pass
I don't think so. EB is in a different situation than most coaches in that he can openly discuss his interest in other jobs. It doesn't necessarily sound like an "offer" has been made, maybe more like interest has been expressed. Similar interest may have been expressed to other coaches who are not in a position to make it public. We all know from experience that RG and LC run a tight ship, and even our mysterious "large donors" are likely not entirely in the loop.
Process is everything and since 2011 things have gotten better in every way, except still an iffy BoR.

EB can add another layer with Andy Reid stuff, and even special teams with Taub’s good ideas.

Well download the Surface or Ipad
Yeah. But it's not enough. I'd also want copies of the transparency sheets for their opaque projector. That's where they have the super confidential cutting edge ideas they don't want any competitors to see.
If he brings a real pro playbook, we are FUBAR on offense.
starting at $4 million and going up 100K a year isn't enough? That is a pretty good assistant pool and would put us right with ASU, Cal and Utah.
Great list for explaining exactly why $4M isn't enough.
Well pony up then Big Jim. I am living in the real world.

Talked to a player that EB recruited and he said that their playbook was basically the Vikings playbook with a Buff decal on it. They were in over their heads.
10 assistants does not allow $100K to go very far at all.
To put it in perspective, UCF leads G5 with a million dollar coordinator (Randy Shannon) and a $3.5M assistant pool. LINK
$4M is a reasonable place for a P5 program to be, but it's still barely competitive when you consider cost-of-living in Boulder and what is paid by the programs that are legitimately competing for championships.
You are always going to be losing coaches and dropping salaries for more inexperienced guys and giving raises to others. Bonuses should be a major factor instead of raises as well. CU isn't going to be throwing around over $5 million in 3 years I think we all know that, unless we start winning 9 games a year. Either way $4.5 million in a couple of years seems like a good goal for CU as we sit right now. If you want to start out at $3.5 and increase 300k each year that works too but I am not going to sit here and say we can realistically go for $5 million a year soon.
Hey let's make a couple of bowl games first before we talk about competing for championships.

Which is why you try to alleviate some of those concerns when negotiating. We just got burned by trying to make him choose to stay.
