Where did you see this?

Update at Colorado

Colorado is an interesting job that happened to come open at an even more interesting time. And it would be fair to substitute "interesting" for a number of

Sources have indicated that CU hoped to speak with (in no particular order) Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, former Wisconsin and Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema, Central Michigan head coach Jim McElwain, Alabama offensive coordinator SteveSarkisian, Arkansas State head coach Blake Anderson, Cal head coach Justin Wilcox, as well as current interim head coach Darrin Chiaverini

Where is this from?

I'm guessing we've been turned down a few times considering where we are on that list.

 

[Buffsfan1998]

Wilcox would be amazing, but not sure how that move benefits him much.

Yes, the article I posted that from says Wilcox would have to take a pay cut to come to CU....

Wilcox would be amazing, but not sure how that move benefits him much. He could be the coaching candidate next offseason.

CU probably has a higher ceiling than Cal, just barely, tho'.

Wilcox

He earned $2.8 million, bonuses included, in 2018, and his extension puts his 5-year contract at $14 million in salary and $1.9 million in retention bonuses. Wilcox’s base salary will actually go down in 2019, to $2.5 million, but then move to $3.05 million in 2020, $3.3 million in ’21, $3.450 million in ’22 and, finally, $3.6 million in 2023.

The article also said if a deal cant be done with one of the named people, "A number of former Power 5 head coaches have expressed their interest, sources say"

 

[Gary Indiana]

If we land Wilcox I will cut a check to the AD immediately. That would be A+ work given the circumstances.

I see the possibility as very slim, though. So I won't get my hopes up.

I think Wilcox only makes sense if we a) found the magic money tree and b) the budget problems at Cal struck again. But apart from that he probably has Cal in a situation after year 3 that we expected or would've been really happy with with Tucker (5-7, 7-6, 8-5).

Yes, the article I posted that from says Wilcox would have to take a pay cut to come to CU....

MacIntyre was making over $3 million and RG was ready to up the salary for Tucker...

 

[Darth Snow]

If we get Wilcox then we know @Duff Man just sacrificed his firstborn.

 

[Buffsfan1998]

MacIntyre was making over $3 million and RG was ready to up the salary for Tucker...

But, it would probably have to be a pretty dramatic increase.....

 

[DrunkRalphie]

But, it would probably have to be a pretty dramatic increase.....

I imagine it would take a significant increase in resources from RG. Who knows? Maybe RG is pissed and he's going all out. It's fun to dream.

 

[White_Rabbit]

Wilcox would be awesome, but I'm not getting my hopes up there. Unless those reports were actually accurate that RG was going to match what MSU was offering? What is he sitting on the magic money pile and just holding off?

Sark seems realistic and awesome. Glad to hear he's in play. The other threads I've stumbled upon today had me thinking it was some kind of nightmare with Bielema, McElewein, or Chev.

it surely is fun to dream

That works out great for us. If he left for MORE money in February we would have to call him a piece of ****.

Poised to be a 9-10 win team in 2020 as well.

FWIW, voice of the Buffs Mark Johnson just retweeted the report that Alabama may soon need to replace their OC.

Would be a pretty jaw-dropping hire.

Wilcox
Sark
Anderson
EB
Chev

In that order.

 

[manhattanbuff]

Wilcox would represent getting all of the chips in the middle to me.

I’d have to pony up and break a bigger piece of bankroll to donate to the AD.

He did the same with the Bielema story too.

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

I like Wilcox a lot. Our team would play SO hard!!!

 

[skibum]

He did the same with the Bielema story too.

damnit! Shouldn't you be drinking more?

 

[ahoelsken]

Speculation if Sark to Buffs as HC, Freeze to Baba as OC, replacing Sark.

Edit: Oops, you said where, not what.

Finebaum is a goober, but he's pretty well connected down there. If he's throwing that out, RG and LC have had some contact with Sark and his people.

 

[Big Jim]

Sark will always be two people. Sark and Sober Sark. I think Sober Sark might be my #1 choice of all names bandied about. I don't think Wilcox is a real candidate, his name is only floated so he can force an extension and raise.

 

[Jeric]

Anderson is a good dark horse, in my opinion. He should hope he interviews after Bielema, he'll look real impressive, polar opposite human beings. Record might not blow you away but he'd win people over quickly, not sure about his recruiting.
