Lammies can Fairchild (was: To add insult to CSU's injury...)

In a perfect world, they'd hire Dan Beebe as the AD, Dan Hawkins as the Head Coach, and sign them both to very long contracts.
 
Man - regardless of what happens here, I wish the Buffs could find a donor of that magnitude who was willing to pump some cash into the program
 
Goat U appears to not like Graham...this will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Interesting. Googled him, and he sounds perfect for the job...

Sounds perfect for them... :lol:
 
Sacky - watching this interview, it sounds more and more like CSU may be doing the things necessary to finally get this stadium situation resolved.

I hope so. But he apparently approached the University about giving more money and wanted to pitch an "idea" to the President. When asked what the idea was he said "I was tired of playing around the edges" and the idea "is a big one" but wasn't ready to announce it yet. With Stryker backing this guy, I think we can all guess what that idea is and it is about freeking time!

So basically you guys got blackmailed into hiring a new AD? "Me & my friend want to give money to CSU but only if you put me in charge?" That's always a great idea...

It is an absolute Coup, no doubt about it. At this point, if thats what it takes to get football back on campus so that the University can actually leverage Old Town - then so be it.

To the contrary, it makes absolutely no ****ing sense. Anyone that thinks GB is getting a BCS job is straight delusional.

Let's see, a mediocre school in a power conference or goatherder U, what would any normal human being choose? ...... hmmmmm. There are still a lot of folks, media, fans, and otherwise, who have negative thoughts and memories about GB. And I seriously doubt that a college or university in the state of Colorado would hire him based on the same reasoning.

I'm of the opinion that, if he really wants to coach again, GB will prolly have to take mid-major opening. I think he's been out of coaching just long enough that a bcs level or other D1 AD simply won't take the chance on him.

Congratulations! If this is true, this could go a long way to getting you guys into a real conference in addition to improving the football program.

Bro, I think you just made my point. I'm not saying he wouldn't take Illinois over CSU, I'm saying that job isn't coming his way.

If this is what they had to do to get the big donors involved for legacy type projects then fine. Stryker Stadium has a nice ring to it.

Its your tax dollars that support the University system as a whole, including CSU. I still don't understand this notion of somehow reveling in the idea of a state funded University struggling with finances.

Screw csu, as much **** as you and your community and 10 fans sling at CU, your struggles are your problem.
 
Will be very curious to see what CSU has ups it sleeves. Right now, donations will only go so far compared to other schools like CU who will be pulling in $30MM a year in TV money very soon.
