Both have BCS HC and Pac experience. I know Koetter was interested last time around. Both have recruiting ties in the West.
Either one would be a huge yawn and a "meh". I'd much rather have MacIntyre or Deruyter first.
Wow. State of Arizona should be thankful for what both these two left them. Arizona = Colorado when Mike Stoops took over. Rich Rod has said many times how he was amazed at what Mike Stoops left him and how he was grateful for them not burning RS's etc. Dykes and Kingsbury both coached there too. Koetter is well respected for X's and O's but wasn't great kissing *****. Ask Boise St. fans who they would want back if CP left. Most would suggest Dirk, IMO.
3 for 3? Who are the other two failures? Dirk was above .500, four bowls in six years winning two of those bowls, and routinely beat in state rival AZ. Didn't set the world on fire but failure is a little unfair.Again, **** Boise ****ing State and anyone from there. 3 for 3 on failed head coaches from there.
Stoops couldn't cut it at Arizona.
Let me refresh memories about his defense at Oklahoma
Oklahoma 50 West Virginia 49 (Nov 17, 2012)

Exactly. DeRuyter and MacIntyre may end up being great, but they look a lot like Hawk 2.0 (Successful in the bush, unknown in the bigs)Don't think they're realistic candidates and Koetter isn't close to my first choice even now, but I'd take Koetter over unproven HCs from SJSU and Fresno. His last five years at ASU he went 36-27, made four bowl trips and finished in the bottom half of the Pac-10 only once. I'd say that is a substantial improvement from where we are right now and significantly better than Hawk did at CU.
Per Gold's final statement, it can be made against any coach of a good NFL team. Jack Del Rio's success is based solely upon V. Miller, Champ, et. al. Gary Kubiak's success is based solely upon Schaub, Foster, et al.
Regardless, I don't like advocating for a coach I don't really want, but am simply stating I would take Koetter over either of the two old guys from glorified community colleges in California.
