Is it true that we ignored Bret ****ing Bielema for KD?

I heard that the other day and it made me want to put my head through a mirror.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope he turned us down. Unless we fire RG before we hire a new coach, it would mean we're depending on even bigger chuckleheads than I thought, which I didn't think was possible.

Obviously hiring Dorrell was terrible, but I am not going to necessarily blame RG if he decided Bielema was not the guy. Not sure he comes across well in an interview setting.

Am I the only one who hates the idea of Calhoun at CU? He’s got a great thing going at AFA but how much of what he’s doing translates to this job? I think very little. His teams are disciplined and play hard but great, they’re service academy kids. He has essentially zero P5 experience as a HC or assistant aside from 2 years at Wake 20 years ago. He hasn’t run or even been around a legit P5 recruiting operation, his coaching tree and connections for assistants are a huge unknown. And he runs an option offense that people keep telling me he wouldn’t necessarily run at CU. So what are you getting with him?

P5 experience? Not really
Built a program? No
Plus recruiter? No
Brings a defined system? Apparently no.
Deep connections in fertile recruiting grounds? No
Coaching connections? Not really (same OC for 13 years)

No you are not.

No.
 
What about David Shaw if he gets fired from Stanford... smells like a PD/RG type of hire and wouldn't be the worst one if he was the guy

Well, the last hire had a "put some other guy's dirty underwear on and hope for the best" feel to it. So yeah, I could tweedle dee and tweedle dum going that direction. JMO.

Hey I'm not pushing it, but it does feel like if he could make it work at Stanford he could make it work here....and there are definitely worse options out there. I'd personally be somewhat disappointed if it was Shaw, but again we could do worse

Not only that, but there is no *transferring out* of Air Force. Once theyre in, they owe the country time. They know that. It's a totally different recruiting game.

Edited for clarity. smh

I know. I would just point out Shaw's last four years at Stanford have been crap. Why hire a guy whose star on the decline? You don't have to answer that, we are talking CU here.

I don't know if we passed on Bielema or not, but after he flamed out at Arkansas it was reasonable to wonder whether his success at Wisconsin was just barry alvarez’s system.

Let’s hope he’s dialed into Grimes/Choate than Bienemy/Calhoun

Footballscoop said Calhoun probably gets a call, but doesn't think he's what RG wants.

I think Calhoun's a hell of a football coach, but I think if he wanted this job bad enough it would have already happened.

Bieniemy would definitely be. I don't think Calhoun would suck......there are guys we've talked about (Herman, Bronco, and Grimes to name 3) that I like a lot more.

Calhoun would be an extremely low ceiling hire. He’s never recruited P5 players. How does he convince a recruit he knows how to help him get to the NFL? If the goal is to move from embarrassment to mediocrity and no longer be the worst program in the country then I guess he could do that. The only hire that would be lazier than Calhoun would be keeping Sanford.
