It is just assumed that if puts his hat in, that he gets the job. He is after all the greatest coach since Ditka.

Revised Poll: Who Should Be the Next Coach at CU*
- Thread starter Agent Dave Kujan
- Start date
Right. No one poached Mike Mac after 2016 and “Coach of the Year” honors. It takes a special breed of asshats to create the present situation.
Big Jim
WTF?
And he never got over it. He though he had punched his meal ticket out of town and....nothing.
Mac negotiated a raise and extension after 2016, I'd be shocked if he didn't leverage the fact that other suitors were calling at the time.
I would be happy, but why would he leave? He has little pressure, and he played there. He was only a GA at CU.
What would you possibly base this on?
This was the point I was trying, poorly, to make. MM, at least, remained committed and was rewarded for it. Problem for CU was he had pretty much max’d out what he was going to do here with 2016 team populated by seniors who had played for years due to the complete lack of talent when they arrived.
I may not have been inspired by MM in the last years, at least he didn’t pull a MT ****er move. But, then few coaches have ever pulled anything as glaringly dishonest and self-serving as this.
Lucky us.... again.
He tried to move, but failed.
One year before leaving is an aberration. Extremely unlikely to happen again.
Now, 2 years I can see. And I'll happily live with another coaching search after the 2021 season if it means we got a coach who recruited great and got us to bowl games while he was here.
If that happened, we'd take that buyout money and hire the next coach with all the additional leverage of being a winning program with stocked talent. All good.

This program is rebuilding at a tenuous point. MT has potentially knocked the legs out of this program, depending on what happens with the assistant coaches, players, and recruits. The timing is incredibly harmful, too, finding a new, long-term coach in this way.
He took the payday knowing full well he may cripple a fledgling program, and rebuild, that he’d signed up to care for and improve.
But we only were going to pay him $14 million. Shame on us.

We're not sure who the Top 3 are on CU's want list, but there's no reason to believe that the AD is going to have appreciably more money to spend than what they were paying Tucker, et al. Maybe Tucker's CU money + 10-15%, and that's a maybe. Still the same Regents. This, among other things, is why EB is unlikely IMO.

I don't think they get EB.

Define the word loyalty-Are you talking about hiring Chev or EB because they're alums or Mora because he's gushed about CU and expressed interest in the job twice in the last fourteen months? Or are you talking about a guy being willing to accept a significantly higher buyout than what Melvin had if he chooses to leave of his own accord? From my POV-I don't care about the former. The latter is non-negotiable if I'm RG.

What other suitors did he have? He didn't exactly blow the doors off here either. The only person who looks bad here is Melvin-he takes a job, decides to quit because he has an opportunity pop that he thinks is easier than the one he has, and lies his ass off on the way out the door. @GawainBuff is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Meh. $7 million couldn't keep Sparkles in Foco.
The molehill looks pretty damn massive.

He'd be a no-go for me here at this point, and I suspect RG thinks the same way-I'm not interested in any branch off the Nick Saban/Kirby Smart tree after Melvin's midnight ride and the Sarkisian stuff. I'd be pretty hesitant to do business with any Jimmy Sexton client if I'm RG at this point (he's the agent for Mel, Sparkles, and I think Sarkisian as well) too.
