Jerry Kill comment!!!
 
Nope. If FHCMM would have gotten that 1 extra win, he'd have gone 6-6, made a bowl, and bolted for a different HC job. The relationship between him and RG was at an end and MM had his agent shopping. The big difference is that instead of CU firing him & owing that huge contract settlement, another school would have been paying CU some buyout money.
You‘re assuming that he would have had offers. I sincerely doubt that.
 
I think we are looking at this the wrong way. It's better to be hopeful for an additional couple weeks, than to be disappointed in CU's inevitably trash hire.

Wilcox to Oregon, with a big budget would be a good hire IMO. There's other hires that would instantly boost their recruiting profile for sure, but Oregon has recruited well enough to be dominant in our conference. I see Wilcox as the next Kyle W level coach but would have a much easier time recruiting to Oregon than Kyle does to Utah, and a much bigger budget to go with it.

Wilcox paired with a very competent OC will yield a team that can compete right away for top 10 level play and with that, recruiting will boost itself because...NIKE.

That's a big advantage that they have. Wilcox just needs to make the right hires and that thing could take off. He's good and there's no question marks there IMO.

I like Wilcox, but the question mark on whether he can find the right OC is definitely there.
