Don't Drink the Kool-Aid
AllBuffs,
I'll never be the most liked on this board, but lay off @4BienemyTDs for a bit, you can never fault anyone for being passionate about our team. It is our team. He is obviously a committed Buff, bleeding black and gold in this difficult time (just like we all are), and you cannot simply pick and prod at him. It is an emotional time. You cannot fault someone who truly cares. He wants Chev, respect it, and move on for the night.
I was hoping for a new head coach today, but that has not happened. We are all frustrated in all different directions. BuffNation and our team will overcome this and somehow be stronger, but we have to unite behind the players, their families, the assistants who wish to remain as well as those who join us, and whatever HC is named. We have to unite for the kids, from seniors to incoming Frosh, who had a knife stuck in their back, as did LC/RG and the assistants left in a lurch. All these speculations and thoughts are a bit trivial given the real world consequences of the athletic department, players, assistant coaches, and support networks involved.
Our team, that we all live and die for is in a difficult situation; this brings back memories of Sal. We/Buff-nation overcame, we binded our wounds and reached heights never imagined. Let RG/LC lead us, rally behind our players, staff and athletic department and no matter the HC and move forward together as a family. We pack the stadium, be good fans and unite for the future. Peace out.
As far as I know, coach Mac I was the only coach in Michigan history to win HS football and basketball championships in one year. He went to Bo for a few years, then came to CU a team down in the dumps, and changed our school forever. He won the only NC in a big team sport in our history. We just have to trust and unite. Things will get better. We can climb mountains.

I'd be ecstatic with Sarkisian and content with McElwain. Frankly, I dont get the hate there. If he can explain why his offenses stunk at Florida and why he was dismissed there, why isn't he a viable option? He fixed a CSU program that stunk before he got there to the tune of a 10 win season. He won at least one division title at Florida. He took a Central Michigan team that went 1-11 in 2018 to 8-6 and a ****ing division title this past year. I don't give a damn what level you're at-that's impressive. Hes a goofy SOB, but the man knows how to coach.

Good Lord. Sark knows we're the best he can do right now. The McElwain hate is mind-boggling. If he can explain why his offenses were bad at UF and the drama surrounding his dismissal, why isn't he an option? He took CSU from 3 wins to 10 in 3 years. He won two division titles at Florida. He worked one of the most impressive turnarounds in the sport at Central Michigan this year. The man is goofy, but hes a hell of a football coach. I like other names over him, but I'd be just fine if he's the guy we go with. I don't care about winning press conferences-I want to win games. Jim McElwain knows how to do that.
He hates Sark because he worked for Pete Carroll, who he hates. I wouldn't use up much time trying to reason with that

I'm more using him to illustrate the silliness of the McElwain hate here and on 247.....not attempting to reason with him lol

The issue with McElwain is that I don't think he's a good recruiter. He was the HC at the premier University in the premier state for highschool football talent and had 'meh' recruiting classes according to the perception of the Florida fans I know.
To me right now I'd rather have an A+ recruiter and a B+ coach than a B+ recruiter and an A+ coach. A B+ coach night be able to get great coordinators to maximize the talent, but with a B+ recruiter we're never going to have the talent to win big.
Just my opinion.
This is college football, we let emotions get in the way of reality. You can have some fun with your FU fans if you share this Athletic article with them.

The 2016 FU class, recruited by McElwain, was rated 12th at the time. Not too bad. The Athletic came back and reranked the the 2016 class four years later and FU ended up ranked 3rd based on actual production. Elite.
Of course Clemson moved up from 11th to 1st so the obvious answer is to hire the WR coach cuz that worked at Clemson.

That seemed to be the opinion on Mack Brown. Maybe a C+ as a coach, but definitely could recruit over his ability to coach.

There is a ton of talent in Florida and Florida is the best program in the state. They have a lot of built in recruiting advantages, so I’m not sure that speaks to his recruiting ability.

Dabo loves his player soooo much he threatened to quit if they end up getting paid.

I thought he recruited well at CSU. HIs tenure at CSU showed he could get good players to come there. Let me put it this way he got enough pieces there to beat us, and to beat Wash St in a Bowl game. I would also say that in both Rocky Mountain Showdowns he out coached us, one we barely won by 4 points I think. The other he beat us pretty handedly. It is the only CSU game I remember where they beat us by more than 10 points. He did that at CSU not Florida. I remember thinking he was clearly a better coach than Macintyre by a wide margin. I was happy to seem him leave.
He can definitely coach and recruit.
Still not sure how excited I would be to see him come here, but in many ways I can not deny he would be an upgrade over the 20 years of CU coaches.

Who says EB was RG's first choice?
Redhater
i can read
I second that. We best have a better plan
I mean the other names in the mix have been Bielema, Chev, McElwain.
From a current national exposure and overall coaching situation he should have been the 1st choice!

This is the right situation. We're doing the right thing by reaching out to Eric, and he's probably doing the right thing by entertaining a chat with us. Odds of getting him were always low. He probably succeeds Reid in a year or two.
