"unless you're looking for the caliber of players who comprise most winning teams, recruiting has been good!"
Edit: Late to the party with this joke, but worth repeating
Well they can start by landing some 4* and high 3* guys.
CU should live in that high 3*, 86-88. Hopefully the new staff changes that

Some situations are out of your control when you run an organization or department or group. But it doesn't all come down to luck. Leadership has a ton of influence on who chooses to leave or enter your organization. I can give a pass on some attrition situations. I can even sympathize since I deal with employee retention and recruitment issues constantly. But I'd never entertain the idea that I don't have a ton of influence and control over the situation and it would be unthinkable to not take any personal responsibility. Ultimately, KD is responsible and accountable.
fwiw, I'm not attacking you here, but trying to give you perspective from a manager/ business head. Others here will be able to credibly tell you the same.
This. There's "good" atrition when you lose deadweight that you can easily replace without having to actually fire them.
There's understandable atrition when you lose good people because other places can give them better opportunities than you can at the moment.
There's bad atrition when you lose talented people even though you think you're providing them with good opportunities. These should always make you rethink.
And then there's mass defections.
Those.
Are.
Always.
Bad.
...
Always.
As I've said, NIL is overblown. It's mostly not about that. I believe that the ease of transfer (no sitting out a year) is having a much bigger impact in general & that what CU is seeing has a lot to do with the type of personality that meshed with MT is a very different profile than who's going to respond to KD.
P.S. Those shifts with coach types can be a major challenge (Mac --> Neu, GB --> Hawk) and are especially hard when the former coach & his culture had a lot of loyalty/buy-in from players.
Yep. I think we would have seen a mass exodus in 2020 if it weren't for COVID. MT and KD personalities are simply oil and water.

I think in a lot of ways, the lack of integrity of the coaching contracts led to the new transfer problem. Because the coaches can get fired, or move on to a better job for more money at the drop of a hat(which was much more problematic), than why can’t the players do the same? That was at least part of the rationale for making the transfer rules change.
But instead of fixing the original problem with the coaches, the NCAA just created the same problem with the players. It’s just asinine. You can’t run an organization let alone an entire minor sports league like this. It’s such a damn mess.

You go for it now!?!?
Guys, I’m starting to think Karl makes questionable in-game decisions.
Karl coaches like BLew plays qb. Made for each other.
Oh shut the **** up boomer. Jesus Christ how obvious can it gets, IF STROUT HAD STARTED THE ENTIRE GAME THE OUTCOME WOULD'VE BEEN NO DIFFERENT. And literally as I type that Strout just made his third absolutely horrendous throw this game
JT Heisman trophy Strout!!! Stud will lead us to Zion!!! Lewis is a bum who couldn't win a special Olympics race!!!! It's clear, JT has nfl arm talent, he can throw the ball 5 yards further than Lewis!!! First round pick!!!
I think I figured out something that I couldn't quite put my finger on earlier.
KD has essentially said that his plan for winning is to keep games close until the 4th quarter and then try and pull out the win.
It's why he didn't go for it on 4th in the third.
But what I finally realized is that I don't want a coach whose only plan for winning is to keep it close until the end. That coach's ceiling with a team they build is 6 or 7 wins, and 3 and 4 win seasons will be common.
MacIntyre was somewhat similar in that his plan for winning would mostly result in losing seasons, but building up to a senior heavy and experienced team could produce 9 or 10 win seasons once every 4 to 6 years.
**** both of those "plans."
I want a coach whose plan for winning is to build a team that will curb stomp most opponents. That's how you do it.
KD has no idea how to do that.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure MT did.

Please be safe
Just three more short years, guys.
Can we use the $239.84 of NIL money we have raised to buy him out?
