Didn't work...
I think they learned their lesson from the Butch Jones disaster. I think both MacIntyre and Leavitt were hired out of the blue with no real rumors flying around.
And RG is here and obviously he doesn't stand for that stuff

My thought was bringing in a guy like Briles (but not necessarily him) who is looking for a few a HC job, but may have to become coordinator for a year or two first. Chev needs some experience.
Can you imagine the ****storm if Art Briles landed in Boulder?
You're gonna judge him on a game where the offense didn't show up and the secondary was hobbled. Seems fair.
Not saying that he should or shouldn't be the D coordinator but using that game as a measuring stick is short sighted.
Art Briles is the most toxic name in college football right now.
I, for one, would cease all donations to my beloved CU if that happened. **** Briles & **** Baylor.

You wanted the thread back on track, Duff. Beggars can't be choosers!
Bringing up Art Briles is getting the thread back on track? Damnit!

Chip Kelly is out of work, maybe he'd like to rehabilitate himself at dear old CU. Or maybe Kubiak would do it if he didn't have to travel to away games or recruit. The possibilities are endless!!

Yeah, he is. Type of guy who would probably go sit in a doggone creek after practice or run out onto Folsom and make snow angels. Those weirdos never work out.
Running backs need several things to work in order to produce. First, they need the ball. I'm not seeing a commitment to the running game that would allow for 30-35 carries per game from the running backs. Second, they need blocking. Hand the ball off 100 times to Barry Sanders and without at least a little blocking, he goes nowhere.
Both of those things were absent in 2016. We didn't give the ball to the backs very much and we didn't have good blocking schemes to run the ball when we did. It was like the running game was an afterthought. It's hard to put too much of the blame on Hagan for that. I thought he did a pretty good job, actually. Once Lindsay was the obvious leader, he got the ball most of the time.

I like where this is going

Dan Hawkins HC/WR coach, worked out great.
Yes he is. If he was the face of the program, I would be worried. But as DC, he can almost just stay out of the spotlight if he wants.

Clever, but I prefer a personality who is good with players and his HC.
I'm so glad we are in charge of the football team.
This is a good idea. Instead of hiring a DC fans can get an app and vote on the play call. Kind of like real life madden. We all know so much it has to be better than any DC we could possibly hire.
All out blitz on every damn play, baby! No risk, no fun!
You might be on to something here. They should sit up the spring game in a format that can be controlled by Twitch. I am sure we would get a lot done.
