Having Mangino climb the steps from the practice field to Dal Ward at altitude in August would be a massive liability.
Key word being "massive".

At least we wouldn't have to worry about a buyout.
But we would have to worry about the buffet.
Au Contrair, my friend. I think it would be the buffet that did the worrying.
Fat jokes never get old.
Have to worry about the buffet if anyone is in line after him.
He's sticking around to get the VT job.

With that kind of buoyancy? Unlikely...
That's as crazy as saying Peyton would become a Bronco.....

Hope and change.
Jon Gruden...he basically said on HBO Real Sports if the right situation came along, college or pro. Who knows if CU would have a chance in hell but whats the worst he could say? I say open up the wallet and offer the guy the world! That guy has the fire that I think could work in College
Gruden is a guy I could see.
If he could put up with and succeed dealing with Al Davis he can deal with any challenges in Boulder. He doesn't have much negative baggage, he is a motivator, and he knows the game on both sides of the ball.
I can also see him getting bored without the competition and being willing to listen to a good offer. That offer may also be more dependant on factors like control and support than on the final salary number since he already has plenty of money.
Might be worth CU pursuing.
Gruden is as realistic as most of the other names that have been thrown around here.
Kirby Smart isn't coming. Petrino's name would kill someone in admin from laughter.
If we are going to throw stuff against the wall we might as well throw good names.

Gruden is realistic, but Kirby Smart isn't?
OK, I was the first one in this thread to suggest Gruden, dammit. But, thinking about it, I see Gruden as a guy who would want a ton of control and I just do not see our admin ceding a ton of control to a coach. Every time I hear or watch Gruden on TV, I come away impressed. I think he could definitely be a great college coach. But I'm just not seeing it. He has too huge an ego.
Actually both of them would be considered very long shots at best. If either one came to CU it would be an extreem surprise. The chances of either coming here are about the same, slim to none.

Anybody mention Kliff Kingsbury yet? The guy's a bit of an offensive prodigy, and he's more on the Dana Holgorsen branch of offense than Mike Leach's airraid, in that he appreciates the run game. Currently at Texas A&M, and was Holgorsen's successor at Houston. Named OC of the year in 2011 at Houston after they put up some crazy numbers.
Regardless, if CU wants to take the next step, this is the level of coordinator that CU must be ready to pay in the next transition. The team needs a schematic jumpstart, whatever it is, just give recruits something exciting that works.

Interesting choice TDbuff. When Mac started his offense it was built to have his defense ready for NU and OU. Given that we don't have the size and athleticism of USC, it's something to explore. This conference can put up points and we need to have an offense capable of putting 40 pts on the board.

That sounds like a much better situation than losing to Sacramento State. But hey, to each their own.
I simply can't see this admin willing to give Gruden the money he'd want (~3 mil is my guess) plus the control he'd want as DBT mentioned.
