And whomever we knocked out (twice) to bring in Khalil Tate.
CU had a history of destroying quarterbacks. Just doesn’t turn out in our favor.
When CU is playing Oregon and Utah at home in November and less than 30k are in attendance he might be forced.
RG will be laughing at all the critics when the Pac-12 dissolves and CU no longer has to pay back the Covid loan.The buyout is too much. RG would have to be like…
$7.8m for KD alone, not to mention the assistants, most of which are in their first year. It would need to be a 0-2 win season where the wheels fall off, the players quit and they are aren’t competitive.The buyout is too much. RG would have to be like…
Good news is, if most of the responses in the season prediction thread are correct, that will come to fruition
RG will be laughing at all the critics when the Pac-12 dissolves and CU no longer has to pay back the Covid loan.
Nah. Even 0-12 isn’t enough to overcome the money. We don’t have the funds. “We’re a young team” will be the drum they beat until the end. The buyout is way easier after 2023.
$4m vs $7.8. They’ll lose $3.8m in ticket sales and revenue in 2023 if they retain him after a dismal season like the one I described
Are they even gonna make $3.8 million this year? I don’t think so.
I don’t know what their profit margins have been but they had $21.5m in ticket sales and donations in 2021. My point is, that number is almost assuredly going to drop for the 2022 season unless they come out and surprise most of the fans with a good season, but in this context of the season being ****, they’ll continue to see falling revenue.
There comes a point where it’s more expensive to keep a failing coach than to fire him and see the inevitable bump in sales and excitement around a new hire
College is about player quality. If you think this year’s roster is better than last year’s, I’ve got a business deal for some dirt in Arizona for you.
But does RG get to make that call? I guess if they get a new AD, that would make sense. I just don’t know if RG does that deal.
So assuming the secondary and RB room you think we’re worse? Or am I missing something else
The overall talent level of the team is worse. Are you saying that it’s better? Because I’m not seeing it.
How bad does Uncle Phil want to continue rubbing shoulders w the academic elite that are moving to the B1G? What are they willing to do to at least try to make a case for competitive football? Wild card is Saliman. He’s a football fan. Does he force some action as President or does he just maintain status quo?
I’ve addressed this already, but relative to 2021, we are worse at CB and RB, IMO. I think we are better as a front seven, better on the OL, better at QB, same at WR, same or better at TE, same at Safety.
Blanket statements about overall team talent are worthless.
If they fire RG and hire a real AD, then I will start to believe that they’re serious about athletics.
Def not saying it’s better but I think the offense has the potential to put up a lot more points this year but we’ll see. I like our front 7 on D and I also Love no more Rod and Chev who were a discrace. CU Rivals site interviewed Roddick today after practice and some of the things he spoke on his coach last year is astoundingly cringe
I think we’ll have to disagree about WR, OL, and Safety.
As a team, we are not better. There’s hardly any top end talent.
I have a bet against the offense being better than last yeat already. How much is “a lot” when you’re talking more points?
I don’t see how OL can even be in question. We are returning 3/5 starters and added Tommy Brown. We lost Purcell, who was an OK player, but hardly a difference maker.
I feel like you’re confusing being better than last year with being good enough to win the Pac 12

Experience doesn’t mean better.
I think there’s an argument to be made that in most situations, experience does, in fact, help a football player get better. In some cases we see true regression, but that’s rare. Regardless, Manhattan asserted that the OL is less talented than last year. What logical argument is there that makes that true, especially when we added a guy like Brown who played in games and made a start for Alabama?

We also lost Kutsch, who somehow had a great year despite the coaching, scheme, playcalling and unit he was a part of. Brown might be a good replacement, but I can't call it an upgrade until I see it.
Now youre just putting words into my mouth. The OL was horrible last year. Returning starters isn’t a positive.
