Gary Andersen: 2012 Colorado coaching search profile

I think he'd be ahead of Mac in my books if he's in play. Mac has BCS coordinator experience, but it's at Duke, so I've never really put as much stock in that. This guy has coordinator experience with Utah, which wasn't in a BCS conference at the time, but had some very good showings against BCS powerhouse schools. He's also worked a turnaround at USU and even in this banner year for SJSU, Andersen's team handled them pretty easily.

This.

Probably has something to do with the flight from Logan, UT that landed at Rocky Mountain at 10:21am

Flight

All part of Bohn's elaborate ploy to make Mullen jealous

Do you see there being much of a difference between the two? I disagree with your reasoning as to why you prefer Anderson over MacIntyre, but I get that some people just have different opinions. What I don't get, and I'm not saying this is you, but some people seem to think Anderson is a home run hire while MacIntyre is way less. I just don't get it.

Andersen's got a lot more charisma. I think that's the appeal. At least to me, that's why I prefer him to MacIntyre. Means nothing in terms of what really matters here, though, so you're right. I'd say they have about an equal chance of being successful coaches at CU.

Hell, right now I am just trying to keep the faith that Bohn is not out looking for another inexperienced-inning-ending-double-play-ground-ball-hitting-misfit.

That makes sense. I can see why people don't get excited about MacIntyre, the press conferences I watched of his were pretty dull, but you can tell the guy just loves the game of football. I haven't watched anything beyond that 5 minute youtube video someone linked of Anderson, but he seemed like a lively guy.

As inspiring as I find Andersen, MacIntyre is equally uninspiring, imo. This doesn't mean that MacIntyre can't coach, it is clear that he can. I just feel that the head coach is much more than X's and O's, he is the face of the program. Andersen has a very Tad Boyle-esque vibe to me.

 

[Dark Bohner]

Why does my gut keep telling me that CU will end up hiring Gary Andersen?

I'm hoping/thinking this as well. As the coaching search continues, this guy just keeps popping back up near the top of my wish list as the most likely can't miss up and comer.

lets just get something done already!

I've never really separated Mac, D-Root or Andersen by much and I'd be okay with about any of them. Just happens to be that I've got Andersen slightly ahead of the other two.

If true this will be interesting to watch.

Interesting. MikeMac was always in my top four favorites at CU, but Anderson was right near the top. Like to see what he can do at Wisconsin (if true, of course).

Seems like this rumor is gaining traction:

Updated 12/19 8:30 a.m. ET: Both ESPN and the Associated Press are among the outlets reporting that Gary Andersen will in fact be Wisconsin’s new head coach. An announcement likely won’t be made until Thursday.

 

[BuffClass90]

Why would Anderson pick UW over us. Oh yeah, we suck.
