The increase was only a few hundred thousand more than what the AC budget was already going to be this season. Several coaches were in line to receive raises for 2020.Which reemphasizes that the former HC is a lying sack of doodoo.

True. I think that the assistant salary pool was pre-approved and anticipated the Brumbaugh increase from $100k to $475k. 2021 should see a significant bump, though.The increase was only a few hundred thousand more than what the AC budget was already going to be this season.

Gotta keep ChevSurprised no one else mentioned it. He thanked the last coaches for a good recruiting class and said, “there are no excuses we can’t win right now and the players believe that.” Or something along those lines, I enjoyed that response.
Seems like a very genuine, likable guy. I’m rooting for him to succeed because we all win if he wins.
I still have my doubts but I took off the noose and took the toaster out of the tub. See you guys in September.

I truly don't know. We're not going to be at $6M or anywhere close any time soon. But I think we'll be in the range of paying $1.5M-$2.0M total for our coordinators while averaging $300k for the other 8 assistants - pushing towards $350k. What is that? $3.9 - $4.4? I think that will be about the range.To what?
Mid $4mm is really good for us. Definitely progress. Hopefully that will translate into AC upgrades for 2021.I truly don't know. We're not going to be at $6M or anywhere close any time soon.

Unsure whether this is true or not, but I appreciated the way he dealt with leaving Miami. He informed his head coach, had the discussion, and then left with dignity. No burned bridges. Transparent throughout the process. Maybe he was coached to tell that story, but I liked it nonetheless.
Not much of a Buff fan, eh?I fell asleep during his opening speech
See you guys in September.
I respect your degree of preparationI still have my doubts but I took off the noose and took the toaster out of the tub. See you guys in September.
We're actually an easy crowd. It would have taken another Hawkins or someone as dry and unprepared for media like Calhoun to piss us off.Great. KD won many of you over. That’s good.
Not much of a Buff fan, eh?
I think there were 3 reasons they left:
1. Scandal looming
2. Respect for Dorrell
3. So few opportunities for black HCs & they wanted to do what they could to support success
The money factor is always an "understood" in how I look at it. It's either the main driver or good enough to allow other factors to drive it.. . . and cash money!
I am plenty old enough to remember long before McCartney and what I can tell you is that what happened while McCartney was here doesn't matter anymore. Neither does McCartney's endorsement of a coach. After all McCartney has glowingly reviewed all of CU's coaching hires since his departure, especially Embree. While KD was a Buff he was a solid position coach who was decent at recruiting. However, this was when it was EASY to recruit to CU and the talent he had when he got here was better than the talent that was left after his departure. Still he recruited some solid players.I’m not old enough to remember the McCartney days, so I’m looking at this through a different lens than most here. Rick’s biggest selling point was that KD loves CU and that’s great, but too many schools fall into this trap. I’m glad he wants to be here and I’m rooting for the best, but this press conference has done nothing to get me excited about the actual on field product
This is the type of post we should pay attention to. Insights from the "not my first rodeo" crowd that doesn't get swept up in the emotional swings of the moment. Nicely done and thank you.I am plenty old enough to remember long before McCartney and what I can tell you is that what happened while McCartney was here doesn't matter anymore.

What you saw today in HCKD's interview is EXACTLY who he is. He is well spoken and sincere. He will focus on teaching, he will not be flashy and he will not make recruiting his number 1 priority....He will recruit, but not nationally, instead it will be more focused. He will not suddenly be a twitter or IG influencer that excites kids. He will develop relationships with the staff he hires and many of the kids who come to CU. Without a doubt HCKD will be steady.
Many of you have said time and time again that the life blood of college sports is recruiting. I don't think you were wrong then and I don't think it is wrong now. Thus, I can say that having a genuine coach who isn't exciting and won't make recruiting his primary focus concerns me and will continue to concern me unless he can hire guys that will be spectacular recruiters.
Bottom line is that HCKD's initial presser confirmed that he is exactly who I thought he was. My opinion about the hire hasn't changed. My expectations are low, but from this point on I am going to continue hoping I am wrong wrong wrong and support the program and the hire, because I am a Buff....

Mentioned "Western Footprint", which I'm assuming includes AZ, UT, WA, LAS VEGAS!! etc.
after this press conference, I'm now hoping that KD is to CU what David Shaw has been to Stanford (with a little bit more of a high-powered offensive attack)
