Yeah he's Mendenhall without the P5 recruiting experience. High floor, but low ceiling.
Sanford would need to go 4-3 at the absolute minimum to get me to want to give the job to him. Isn't happening.

Mendenhall without the P5 recruiting or coaching experience. That’s a huge difference IMO. Essentially zero P5 experience should be a deal breaker.
And if Sanford goes 7-0 I’d still be pissed if he gets the job.
He could get them a job in a missile silo in North Dakota!

Yeah I'm not even thinking about Sanford as a candidate right now. He's got a two month interview.

He has 2 months to show future employers he isn’t a QB killer to hopefully land on a staff somewhere in December.

More likely.
He won't get fired - he has basically a coach-for-life deal. He'd have to quit and then want to immediately jump back into coaching which is unlikely, he'd probably take a break,

What are the “official rumors” saying?
No idea. Everyone knows it is over.
No mention of the two guys most of us would like to see.
Why has Grimes not already been a head coach? Has he ever interviewed for an HC job of significance?
If Sanford goes 7-0, he should quit coaching because he could never be any better. There would be no room for improvement. He would have reached the pinnacle. He should be DONE. It would be like reaching the end of the internet.

Did he make it work at Stanford? Feels like they haven’t been relevant since Harbaugh recruits were still there
It is not EBs job whether he wants or it. Typical national guys just throwing crap out there.
This. Curious as well

That’s false.
It’s Monday of game week against Cal and our first victory of the year. Good way to start the week thinking of Grimes leading our Buffs program. Whether it’s him, Choate, Bronco, Herman or anyone else being discussed, it’s a good list… and a good day to be a Buff in my opinion.
Last week in the press conference RG mentioned the process would go through the end of the football season and a couple of days.
I will always be a big fan of Bienemy. He was my top choice before we hired Dorrell. But today? Please no. No more NFL coaches. We need someone right from college football who’s doing recruiting and NIL and all the nuances of college football. We just had an NFL coach and it didn’t work.

Believe the word was he interviewed (and impressed) for the Utah State opening a couple years back. Ultimately USU wanted someone with previous head coaching experience and went with Blake Anderson.
I don't know why you keep stumping for Calhoun.
Mendenhall has at least a conference championship (2, actually) and multiple top 25 finishes on his resume. Calhoun has no championships and 1 top 25 finish. I recognize it's probably harder to win at AFA than other places, but it can be done: the guy who proceeded Calhoun had 3 conf. championships and 4 top 25 finishes at the same point in his AFA stint.
I actually don't see Calhoun's floor as all that high, either. The only way that Calhoun could succeed, IMO, is to get the same system up and running at CU: run a triple option with guys who have been in the system for 3-4 years. Are you willing to suffer through another 3-4 years of dog**** offenses to MAYBE have CU get successful? And what if it doesn't work? It's another 3-4 years to transition out of the triple option.

Go back and read my other post on him.
I said if both sides wanted TC in Boulder, it would have happened already.
This is what I fear. Sanford somehow wins one, maybe 2 games this year. He shows some fire and enthusiasm and the lockerroom reacts slightly better to him than KD because the bar is basically at ground level. The powers that be see an opportunity not to have to shake up things more than they already have been while also getting somebody on the cheap to help offset what we just had to fork over to KD. Sanford is offered a chance to interview with people like the idiots on the Board and Phil and nails the interview.
I can ABSOLUTELY see this happening.

It’s not going to be Sanford. RG reluctantly fired KD because it was embarrassing and the fan unhappiness was deafening. He knows hiring Sanford, under any circumstance short of going 6-1/7-0, would elicit the same response.
