he did a good job at the presser

Funny, but I wasn't that impressed with JE's intro presser. Never he had that spark. Now, I was not in favor in favor of this hire, but I will say Mac is definitely different than Hawk and JE and that's a

Even Bohn isn't that dumb... I mean, he's really ****ing dumb. But you would have to have the intelligence of a two year old to be THAT stupid
How do you keep a bunch of 35 year olds in suspense?

Go to Buffalo extras and click on the first video.
Honestly asking what would have been a good hire? Be realistic as you can on the names because CU is not quite the destination we would all like it to be. Maybe someday, but right now I think HCMM is one of the coaches that should be considered a good to great hire from the list that would consider CU.
As an add on, I am going to be optimistic that Mac will be able take what he learned from turning the disaster at SJST and translate it to the CU program. I am all in and am looking forward to him making some progress on recruiting.

He'll do very well in recruiting and he'll fix things rather quickly IMO. The other aspect that makes this a good hire is that he actually knows how to coach. Congrats. Nice pickup for CU.
"Doing the Riverdance" shouldn't be viewed as unrealistic optimism. Look at where we have been the last few years. We've been at the bottom of the bottom of the barrel. We suck. If you're a CU fan, you need to be excited about this hire until it's proven to be a bad one. All in. I'm 100% behind the coach until it's shown that he can't get the job done.
So far, we haven't heard anybody say that his success at SJSU was a fluke. We haven't heard anybody claim that his success came as the result of somebody else's talent. He has turned around a moribund program. He does know how to recruit in the areas where we desperately need recruiting success. He is a proven winner. There's really nothing to bitch about, unless you're just looking to bitch because it comes naturally to you.

Thanks - but cubuffs.com is the worst site ever to view video from - anyone got a better link?
Lots of Dawg fans and message boards are thinking this is a good hire for CU.
As soon as next year we're not expecting CU to be a gimme win anymore...

To me that means the Pac-12 recognizes we have the talent on our roster, just needed the good coaching. Hope the dogs are right.

Ok finished the presser. Wow is the local media there a bunch of downers. They seemed to be dampening his enthusiasm. Kyle Ringo made Daria sound like Andy Dick. He seemed to loosen everybody up by the end though. I was impressed with the presser. He seems to have a good grasp of the job and a plan in mind. He has a plan for scouting and recruiting in-state, and that is where you start. You build your base with in state then work out from there. But he seems quick witted, adaptable, and positive. You really need to sell your vision when you are losing, and there will be some losing at first. Now lets gets those facilities built.
There is a ton of speed and quality in Texas. I heard him say that he will recruit Texas (and he thinks having Jeffcoat Sr on staff is a plus for recruiting Texas) but that recruiting Cal harder because of the tv coverage in Cal compared to Texas. I don't think he isn't going to recruit it, he's just going to focus on areas that he thinks will be more fruitful.

Asking Syko to be realistic is totally unrealistic! He spends too much time, way too close to artillery batteries when they are in full barrage mode!
Mud huggers are like that, ya know.

Uh oh, it's the 'naame other coaches who would have been better" retort. Once AGAIN, CU, BOHN,BENSON AND PHIL HAVE RUINED FOOTBALL so, realistically we weren't going to get a top name. MY point is, why are people tossing themselves over a guy they never heard of 3 weeks ago? After Bohn's last 2 hires and 7 years of this product, I think it's quite realistic to be very cautious instead of claiming what a perfect fit and great hire this is.
You want to do cartwheels go ahead, past 7 years tells me caution.

Go ahead dance. I've heard this song and dance before. I'm behind him, not behind claims of great hire just yet. Shouldn't we see some results before going overboard as usual?

Yeah, I should be realistic like you. You said the same about hawk and embree didn't you? But you don't learn is that what you're telling me? Sounds like you spent too much time in the gas chamber without your mask.
Really was interested not trying to be a dick. Wanted to see what you wanted done instead of this move or what would have gotten your confidence up. That really was the purpose of the question.

And what did everyone in America say about the Hawk hire? He was the next big thing according to everyone including the national media, show me one person that called that a bad hire at the time and it will be the first. On to the Embree hire, as we ALLLLLLLLLLLL know, Bohn was against that choice, he was force fed that decision, it is very well documented. I don't blame Bohn for the last two coaches, the extra year to Hawk was a mistake, yes but add in the hoops success and I like the job Bohn is doing. Plus he ever threw out and Allbuffs" shout out in the opening of the presser today.
Come on in, the water is warm and the Buffs are heading in the right direction. We have been arguably the worst team in FBS the past two seasons and until HCMM is proven incompetent I will be very pleased at his hiring and looking forward to the first real coach in 7 years!
Ladies and gentleman, BB has spoken.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are ****ed.
oh ****.
Frankly, no. We should be thrilled that the AD recognized the mistake it made in hiring Embree in the first place. We should be impressed that they have committed a substantial amount to hiring his replacement. We should be impressed that they made an attempt to get some highly regarded BCS coaches. We should be excited about the future of our team. That's what fans do.

It amazes me that you think once a person makes a few bad choices, all of their choices are bad. He didn't reach AD level by making a bunch of horrible decisions along the way. But if you think his judgement is so awful, maybe landing his "2nd choice" isn't a bad thing and Butch Jones saved Bohn from himself and saved the CU program? Time will tell.
