Ya this where I’m not putting the puzzle together just yet. I remember KD at some point saying he wanted more motion and more deception added this past offseason.The major problems are with the O, KD has multiple stints as OC, so how much of the current problems are from what he created? If he has nothing to do with the O and it is all on Chev, great lets fire Chiv and find someone else. If KD has been heavily involved with the O, getting rid of Chiv will do nothing. Who is going to come in here after an historically bad season to be OC? Anyone with any skills are going to pass, knowing KD has one foot in the grave. Right now KD is an anchor that is going to sink the entire program. He can fire everyone, but I don't have any faith in his ability to hire anyone better.

What we have now is 0 of either of those things. Did Chev a full blown air raid bro decide to go with whatever you would call this O or did KD take spread air raid concepts out of the playbook? Something doesn’t add up.
I don’t think getting a competent OC will be an issue actually. A lower level guy will get a P5 step up and salary boost. A retread with a somewhat proven track record will take a 2nd chance opportunity. Do I think we are getting a name like Grahame Harrel should he be available, no but the other options i mentioned would be substantially better than Chev.
Nope.The only thing that makes sense is that it was intentional on his part so there would be no choice but to keep him for 3-4 years at minimum.
So you’re going with the incompetence hypothesis? Fair enough, that feels equally as likelyNope.
My assumption has been that he got these numbers approved for the Sark offer and then just changed the name in the contract.
Both hypotheses can be true. And both stink of incompetence.So you’re going with the incompetence hypothesis? Fair enough, that feels equally as likely
He’s been a high school coach since 2002 and is 80 years old. Definitely going to need a 5 year fully guaranteed contract to get him on board.Look for somebody HCKD knew from his prior CU stint. Eliot Uzelac is my guess.
We will wear our right footed socks on our left feet and our left footed socks on our right feet. How’s that for subtlety? Always thinkin.Guys, let’s stay calm. I am sure there has been a lot of evaluations going on and HCKD has been popping into meetings. I am sure we will get different results going forward by not changing anything we’ve been doing.
This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on this site I just don’t know if I’m laughing to laugh or laughing to keep from crying
We better all be on our knees ready to pray to or suck off whomever it takes to get a president who is more than a political hire and who will be a strong leader who refuses to accept mediocrity in his/her organization- particularly with one of the most visible, public-facing aspects of it.as I enter the acceptance phase, what makes me sad is that change will only come through relentless bullying of RG and KD by fans and journalists (which I don’t like) or through a total boycott by the fans (which more directly impacts the players)
so, what we’d really need is for someone like Fowler to be very very vocal about the POS coach that KD is and how RG is essentially conning the CUAD at this point — only way out of this is to emotionally damage someone, and it may as well be the millionaires who suck at their jobs
I’ll do it. Can’t be more than 15 minutes of my time to suck someone off to get at LEAST mediocre football.We better all be on our knees ready to pray to or suck off whomever it takes to get a president who is more than a political hire and who will be a strong leader who refuses to accept mediocrity in his/her organization- particularly with one of the most visible, public-facing aspects of it.
It doesn't matter who or what entity you chose to pray to, it's not going to improve things in Boulder, and especially not for CU athletics. Their only collective objective is their agenda and that does not include successful, winning athletic programs. There is an increasingly long history of this fact.We better all be on our knees ready to pray to or suck off whomever it takes to get a president who is more than a political hire and who will be a strong leader who refuses to accept mediocrity in his/her organization- particularly with one of the most visible, public-facing aspects of it.

I want to see lots of Rice, Bru, and Smith on offense next week. Keep the spread plays goingBunch of posts destined for the Island.
Please take a step back and do some introspection if politics so dominates your life that you can't even enjoy a football game without thinking about that stuff.
Go Buffs!
Played a really limited opponent today, so I'm not gonna read too much into this win. Dominating performance on defense. Great special teams. Plus the offense.
OL continues to show improvement in pass protection, which makes a big difference. RB touches more weighted to Broussard, which needs to happen. Biggest thing is that Lewis was asked to be aggressive & they consistently challenged the defense vertically.
There's a lot to build on with this one. Next week's against a better bad team on the road vs a more physical team. Tougher challenge and a great measuring stick.
We've handled the 2 bad teams on our schedule.
We played toe to toe against the best team we've seen.
We got crushed and didn't really compete against 3 pretty good opponents.
Cal should tell us whether we're bad or mediocre & whether we've got a shot in the remaining games.
We cant afford a staff of closers. Back then I suspect good Assistant coaches were cheaper than they are now.Mac was an elite recruiter. The phoenix is always rising in College Football when you’ve got a closer at the helm with the entire staff following suit.
Beyond this there is a reason we have a politics forum.Bunch of posts destined for the Island.

You don't think it's possible for CU to fill the staff with assistants who enjoy sales and are good at it? Weird, because a good percentage of the good salespeople I've worked with were athletes. I'd think those guys would be easy to find & it would be harder to find the x & o analytical chess player types who would be on the coordinator track.We cant afford a staff of closers.

Also, this admin above RG hasnt shown an incling of being supportive of success.

Why do you think we cant get the guys you speak of? All hires at CU include a pair of handcuffs. So they take a pass and find somewhere else to work.You don't think it's possible for CU to fill the staff with assistants who enjoy sales and are good at it?

That's such bull****. Just about every thread has some elitist, woke, bashing some "hillbilly" school, and it gets cheered. The NPR we're better than you attitude is thick on all threads in this forum. But since it's a passive aggressive slip it's ok. Just not when you don't agree. You all went ultra snowflake when someone said "woke". This forum, and actually the group of posters here, would be the best of the best if everyone would just post about football in the football threads.Beyond this there is a reason we have a politics forum.
There are lots of people on this site who I don't agree with politically and who don't agree with me politically. In the politics forum we can respectfully disagree but first and foremost this is a site based on mutual interest and support of University of Colorado athletics.
Bringing political crap into sports forums defeats the purpose of the site. Doing it in a disrespectful manner makes it that much worse.
Feel great for the players who busted their tails today and earned a convincing win. Don't care if they beat Fort Lewis College, they beat the team in front of them.
Also feel great for many of the long-suffering fans on this site who have stuck with the program through much more thin than thick.
I don't have any illusions about the rest of the season. We have two wins, next week may be our best shot at getting to three.
Don't mix the political garbage into our chance to enjoy a rare win.
