12/3 Update: Start on Post 52 (link) for news coming in as of Monday, December 3, 2012.
Hey all; last year we did a thread where we compiled all the wild rumors about our coaching search into one place. Basically, it was a timeline thread, not a discussion thread. I think we have enough of those! This year, since it appears this may drag on a bit, we are going to do it again.
General rules of the thread:
People of Public Interest:
Rumors:
At the time of the original post, we've heard the following (no sources; too many for old info):
Other names of interest:
Random Other Stuff:
Rivals, and then 247, have both reported that nike is working on new uniforms for CU next year that will include matte black.
Allbuffs' very own Team Kisima told us today that Kanavis McGhee is flying out to meet with Kisima Jagne, a greyshirt for CU and key recruit.
Some random internet posters on allbuffs (source if you want) are saying former coach Jon Embree may be meeting with the team today, and believe it will be on campus.

General rules of the thread:
- Take everything with a large grain of salt, and a shot of whiskey. All, none, or some of the information is probably false.
- Generally, "privileged" info is not to be posted until it is outside of 24 hours OR confirmed by other sources.
- Random Internet Posters, "Respected" or not, and their info are fair game for posting. A request from that person, however, will be honored.
- A Respected Random Internet Poster is usually a message board poster that is known for posting scoop.
- We try to source everything. We aren't perfect. Shocking, I know.
People of Public Interest:
- Reed Marks - Radio Personality tied in with the program. He's on twitter.
- Adam Munsterteiger - Rivals/Buffstampede.com head honcho. He's got great sources and is on twitter.
- 247 - another CU website.
- Kyle Ringo - CU beat writer for the BDC - also on twitter. - he's pissed me off, so no link.
