Just sent this message to Klatt's FB page:
Thanks for working so hard in that presser to make CU football look bad Joel. Your personal grudge against Bohn made the job look toxic to any coach that even looks at the job. I know you're angry, but what you did today was inexcusable and makes me wish you weren't associated with the program. I hope you're proud of yourself. Now get the **** out of town.

Mike Bohn: "Mike Bohn does not make all the decisions himself"
As a former media person Im not trying to twist those words or stretch them. But Im putting up there for you guys to understand that its a political job and there are people Mike Bohn has been accountable too. DiStefano went to great pains to point out that he supported Bohn in fixing basketball and this very week our team is now ranked in the top25. I believe both of them when they say they are committed to making football better. Clearly they would not have pulled the rug out from under JE if they did feel that way despite trying to paint as rosy a picture as possible he simply never delivered a complete sound bite that Jon was headed in the wrong direction. And most of us were convined JE was going to get at least one more year.
I guess we can just boil this down to not so much conspiracy and maybe more of a situation where two hires in a row just didnt work out.

pretty sure they can afford to bring their own water... seen the cars in the parking lot and living in $1,000,000 homes
Yes they are:
Matt Hayes @Matt_HayesSN CU has just lapped Auburn as the job no coach wants.

"Our next head coach is watching." No he's not. Or he won't be your next head coach.
In Boulder? It's sad that our coaches can't afford more than 1600 square feet, and don't have a place to park those nice cars at night.

Ringo's tweets were a joke! For a guy that was so sure Embree would be back he sure talks tough. I don't know why the media is so intent on siding with Embree on this? The guy was a disaster, this tea was un-watchable!!! They were horrid.
For him to talk about a "bowl game next year" is an utter laughable joke. Where were the 6 wins this year Embo? Remember that claim? You tried hard and you failed hard. Thats the bottom line.

Who the **** is Matt Hayes?
My view following the Presser is both Bohn and DiStefano are very committed. My confidence in Bohn went up a lot. My confidence in DiStefano did too though not as much.
More importantly, why don't they have a filtered water machine instead of relying on bottled water? Lamest "scoop" ever.
“@BFeldmanCBS: CU's commitment? Embree bought the coaches water daily. The athletic dept wouldn't even pay for it, per a source.”
Amazing that Tad Boyle can win under these draconian work conditions.
It's a proven fact that BB coaches do not need as much water as FB coaches :rolling_eyes:

Could not agree more.
I get the impression that Klatt & CO would rather see Bohn fired than football improve.

I LIKE CAKE!
This. After the press conference, I'm more confident in their ability to pick the next coach.
Agree. While they said nothing in the two year disaster under Embree, you can be damn sure they are going to be venomous when it comes to the next coach

Not sure how i feel about this. That press conference was a blood bath and is increasingly being made into an US against THEM mentality in the program and University. To put it lightly, it's a TOXIC situation, one that I can't imagine is very attractive to any professional coach. All of the dirty laundry got aired, and the reporters were FROTHING at the mouth. The situation is polarizing as ****. Fans want wins. The AD/Admin talk a good game. The old guard of mac guys and Buff4Life group want control over the decisions. Good god almighty. The next coach is going to say, can I just coach footall without all the negative energy and pressure around the job?
CU is going to have to bring a full on man, with many years of experience and program building to right this ship. It's the only thing that will get this plane out of the death spiral it's in.
The only real positive is that Bohn/DiStephano put words in writing declaring what needs to take place within the university to achieve success. They will either drive hard for it, or resign to the fact that they have no power, possibly necessitating them stepping down.
I never imagined it would get this out of hand.

They will rail on every play call, every game time decision, every loss, everything at all costs. They will never give the next guy a fair shake. They were out of their minds over D2, but never said a word about Em3. Complete cowards.
