Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. I think RG and his bosses have some pretty serious beer goggles on.
Thanks for posting! I’m as down as everyone on the upcoming season but that was a good reminder to cheer for the kids if nothing else.

7 wins more believable than 5 guys on 1st team Pac.

Tucker lost to AFA with a 5th yr fringe NFL QB and Shenault. Dorrell can at least duplicate that.
That AFA loss was baaad. Team was lackluster from the start and the secondary couldn't stop AFA's passing attack. Not AFA's sneaky play action passing attack, they couldn't stop AFA's 3rd and long passing attack. What a turd of a game.

Not only did Mel get thoroughly out coached, both sides of the line got their a$$es kicked.
Actually, with the coaching transition and the interference of the big cigars, this upcoming season will really be Sark's first year at UT....
This guy is trolling or he has discovered the CFB equivalent of cold fusion and is prepared to give to HCKD.

Brendon's post practice comments about Sanford's play calling reminds me of how bad Chev was. I was disappointed with the Sanford hire, but at least he brings a competent system with him and it appears better QB coaching than what we had. Add another year under Brendon's belt, an upgraded OL and WR coach, and the offense has to be better, right?
I'll be happy if we're competitive in most games and can end up in a bowl game. I don't care what bowl game, just please win enough games to be eligible.

I'm genuinely curious what his deal is.
I think we get there. Probably by game 7, maybe early game 8.

Our team is not as bad as it looked last season.
That was historically bad coaching on the offensive side.
So I do think there's a certainty that we will be better.
What I don't know is whether the combination of competent OL coaching & playcalling along with an S&C program I believe in finally showing significant improvement is enough to make this an enjoyable & encouraging season. I'm very skeptical, but do have a glimmer of hope.

I see no realistic path for the defense to be better.
I don't either beyond the DL making things easier on everyone by being veteran & stout. That can cover a lot while others improve through practice & game reps. It's a thin hope, though.
The losses in the back 7 will be extremely rough. Combine that with losing all our pass rushers from a team that sucked at pass rushing makes for a long year.
CU notes: Buffs enjoying new offensive playbook
After a dismal 2021 season on offense, Colorado head football coach Karl Dorrell overhauled his coaching staff on that side of the ball. He also ditched the old playbook. As the Buffaloes opened pr…

Read an article where it was stated that the offense is starting from scratch under Sanford. I hope that means HCKD burned the offense playbook from last season and Sanford designs the offense to take advantage of the strengths of the players on offense.
Feeling a bit of optimism but that usually happens at this point of the year.
KD has said multiple times the offense is completely different. We will see as I question whether that was fully Chev's offense or not last year
I think the front seven has a chance to be pretty good. I know that’s blasphemous with the loss of Wells and Landman, but the WVU transfer is a really good player, possibly a more athletic Landman, and Barnes is a high talent player who has finally achieved the size to play in the box.
The size, depth, and experience on the DL this year is something this program hasn’t really had since 2016. They are missing the Jimmie Gilbert from that group, so someone will need to step up as a pure pass rusher

We are going to have to wait until the TCU game to see what this offense is like and that's okay with me.
We are going to find out if we have a pass rush in game one against that Sonny Dykes Air Raid offense. Losing Landman & Wells should be a huge concern but it doesn't feel that way this upcoming season.
The offense is totally different so we can simplify the playbook in the bye week and focus on fundamentals.
Next off season we’ll dial it back and make sure the guys can just play football since they’ll be thinking so much this year.
This off-season they’re drinking through a firehose so they’ll really be able to just react next year. Also we’re young! But we also have depth!
Vote of confidence after this year, Woelk and Howell in overdrive sunshine mode this summer, then we hire Vance Joseph or something after next year and rinse/repeat

Don't forget, we'll hold most the playbook back the first few games, so we don't give anything away.The offense is totally different so we can simplify the playbook in the bye week and focus on fundamentals.

I think it’s entirely possible, and maybe even likely, that while Sanford’s track record is essentially mediocrity, he elevates the worst FBS offense from last year, to a serviceable unit in 2022.
I think fans are actually underestimating just how awful the offensive coordination, play calling, QB coaching and OL coaching were last year. I think this could be a rare circumstance where there is pretty large addition by subtraction.
