That feels like a challenge to me.
I think ultimately USC goes in a different direction. I really doubt there’s much interest from either side, but who knows.

Apparently, the number one prerequisite with RG is stability so I wouldn't be surprised when this is real next year that EB's name pops back up again. I think its almost a foregone conclusion EB is not getting a HC job in the NFL.
I am not a fan at all of doing this or even having the discussion but we know RG will because he just doesn't care. He wants someone who will be his security blanket until he retires.
It could possibly work if EB is his own OC, bring in a CEO type to help with day-to-day operations, and then go pay big bucks for a DC.

But he is a former Buff!
I'd take him in a heartbeat over what we currently have. But he's not coming to CU.
I don't why anyone would want that after the debacle with Embree and Dorrell. That's really not the question.
However, the same AD will be making the hire next year (if it happens) and he has made it very clear what his priority is with a head coach. My biggest hope of all hopes is that the new president comes in and cleans house with the Chancellor, AD, and head football coach and makes it clear that football is finally a priority. That's a wild dream though.
how about a non-CU related offensive coordinator somewhere?
Unpossible. RG and KD's rolodex only has Buffs4Life contact information.
Football doesn’t need to be a priority for the new President. What needs to be a priority is elevating the status of all programs and departments at CU-Boulder. What I want from the next President is a commitment to improve the overall strength and standing of the Boulder campus. The first step in that process is finding a Chancellor who is more than a spineless sycophant.
It looks like RG has his security blanket in HCKD. He just got a five year extension as AD and he is going to cruise into retirement. I highly doubt he has any motivation at all to make a HC change. That could be why he locked CU into a ridiculous contract with HCKD.
Prepare for an all out "give HCKD time", "fans need to be patient", "he needs to recruit his own guys", "any head coach deserves five years" and similar crap to justify staying the course.
Unless HCKD can miraculously do what he has yet to do at any college program as HC, make it better than when he got there, CU will be in a hole that may take years to climb out of, if that is even possible at that point.
You have to go back to KD's tenure as OC under Neuheisel at CU and UW to find a place where KD was successful as a coordinator. His stint at UCLA was just a little bit less successful than his predecessor, Bob Toledo, and his one year as OC at Vandy was a disaster.
I was hoping his past as pretty much a caretaker coach would mean he would take a team that had recently been on the cusp of bowl eligibility and bounce between 5-7 to 7-5 records. I just am not seeing it. The Buffs aren't just losing, they are not even competitive against anybody in D1 except Arizona. The aTm game was an outlier, and now that they have their back up QB worked up, I really doubt CU could hang with them the way they did early in the season. No way to know for sure.
Perhaps Washington is winnable, but unless something changes drastically, 2-3 wins is what CU will be looking at.
Next year will be tough as the OOC schedule is pretty stout. CU needs an infusion of depth and talent, and HCKD, historically, is probably least equipped to bring that to the roster.
TL;DR It's bad and not likely to improve much for a long while.
Fans need to respond to that vocally and with empty seats.
I hate to agree, but that is the only thing left for fans.
It should be blindingly obvious to everyone (media, CU leadership) that the fans are unwilling to put up with the status quo for any longer. That message needs to come across loud and clear.
I think we really need to get past the “he’s better than what we have now” mindset. Put together a plan for what kind of program we want to be, stick to the plan.
Agree totally. I think EB very well might be a train wreck as a HC. I do think that some program makes him an offer in the future however.
Franklin is not distracted at all.
Two losses already with Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State left on the schedule. He knows a 7-5/8-4 season is looming and has changed agents. Yeahhhhh
Meh, they played Illinois last Saturday -- coaches are probably still breaking down that film.
You should be very happy reading that tidbit.

Traylor or Kendal Briles would be my guess. Dykes seems really happy at SMU. He's got that thing rolling-they're probably going to win 10 games for the second time in 3 years.

Yes and no. I don't think he's going to USC, but I could see him leaving the Steelers for another NFL gig.
I hadn't watched the video until now. Why does he get SO upset? And to answer his last question, Andy Reid and Sean Payton aren't being asked because the former Heisman Trophy winning USC QB (Carson Palmer) didn't bring up their names in connection to the USC job. This honestly makes me think he/his agent have definitely been contacted or are in talks about it
I think he is genuinely feeling disrespected by the question. He’s a super bowl champion coach. Tomlin is not going to USC.
Hasn't Payton had USC rumors in the past?
How often does an NFL coach leave his job for another NFL job? I can’t think of a single instance since Parcells left the Patriots for the Jets job in the mid 90’s. I’m not counting guys like Andy Reid or Ron Rivera who were fired and hired by another team for the next season, but guys who resigned from one NFL HC job to take another.
Mike Holmgren, although worth noting he left from a HC in GB to a HC + GM + VP role in Seattle.
They do have great support for a program that has only won 1 SEC East title and had a good 3-year run under Spurrier but that's it.
College Miami to Dallas.
