*Dorrell made us the worst P5 program.
No one will listen to them. RG shuts down any donors, unless they are supportive of his views. DiStefano won’t engage because he could care less, and I think is showing signs of senility. RG won’t challenge DiStefano due to his own self interests. Mark Kennedy had no interest or feel for D1 athletics, and the Regents never supported him. anyway.
It’s Saliman or bust for real changes.
Curious what factors are driving your “landability” scores. At first blush I would expect both of these coaches to be much higher.
I would say many CU fans sometimes refuse believe there is no hope with a current coach, AD, Chancellor, President, etc and will justify the decisions, coaching, etc in order to maintain that hope. I've done it plenty and it has taken more evidence than necessary to change the perspective
That place wants to promote Sanford tomorrow simply because he has actual human emotions and expresses himself well despite him being a huge disaster everywhere including here. But Bronco is Dorrell 2.0, apparently
It’s a match made in heaven. I just hope we can match the terms and needs with Bronco. I could see us screwing it up in the negotiating phase and Bronco telling us to pound sand. He did surprise and go as far East as Virginia.

Ya, Mel coming for 12 months, then bolting, leading to Sark-gate and a desperate last second hire had nothing to do with our demise.
Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of, "If they win 3 games, I'd definitely consider it. Win 4 and it's a no brainer."
It's so strange
You're correct, it didn't. Hiring Dorrell for literally no reason is the catalyst in why this team is likely going 0-12. Had Rick stopped pouting about losing Tucker and actually did his job by hiring another qualified HC, we wouldn't be in this mess.
247 posters are some of the lowest IQ morons I’ve ever seen. I’m not surprised they’re out on bronco.
I’m sure they’re also talking themselves into Sanford, Helfrich, Hugh Freeze, and other terrible choices for CU. I love Adam, but there are some really poorly informed people on that board
RG went after Ryan Day and had a reasonable shot at getting him to coach at CU before the Ohio State job came open. RG then went to Mel Tucker, who had things going in a good trajectory. Tucker was going to put the program at a level or two above what MM was going to be able to do.
The KD hire was a head-scratcher from the start, and it always seemed like a panic move. I do think RG is capable of identifying a good head coach. But you are correct--he has to prove it after the KD fiasco.
Dorrell owns all of us being the worst P5 program in the country. All of it.
Has something changed over there? Usually, 90% of that board is really happy with dog**** recruiting.
Only when it's CU's dog**** recruiting. When it's Virginia's "dog****" recruiting, they are quick to point out how CU needs a great recruiter
The issue is they don't know what great recruiting looks like.
Would love to hear any tidbits from that conversation.
I have a feeling we'll hire someone we haven't even talked about yet. Could be wrong.
Wow, that is scary sad and explains another angle of why things are so bad. Not having donor cash is catastrophic though.
Go get em
I wish LeftHandBuff would post on allbuffs
With Chev as OC and Head Coach-In-Waiting, also fully guaranteed.
Hmm... if we only had any examples of Bronco going head to head with CU for a recruit...
Maybe I am missing something, but VT is not UVA, and Bronco never coached at VT.
I'm good friends with a member of that staff. You don't want him back. And if we did get him back, every member of his his g'damn family would be on staff in an undeserved high level position. Hell to the No.
I posted it yesterday - ask Gopher faithful how Sanford coached there. He's changed his attitude for his "audition." Also, don't be too sure the players are suddenly all on board and locked in after the change.
I think, in retrospect, MikMak did some good things here. He balanced the roster, the Buffs played generally sound X and O football. His recruiting was a mixed bag, he had some decent defensive guys he brought in, but flopped on the OL, probably the one place CU needed help the most.
He topped out, and it was time for a change, and I realize it is the lowest of bars, but he was light years better than Kardboard.
Having said all that, CU need not revisit the MikMak era.
IMO, not impossible but not likely.
WKU fans have nothing good to say about the two year Sanford run. He came on the heels of the Petrino and Brohm tenures and ran them into the ground. I really hope CU does not do the lazy thing and just elevate the interim. Even if they manage to win a couple of games down the stretch, CU can do better.
