Stops the bleeding to what end, though? They didn't need to be rebuilt from the ground up. They needed a Dan Lanning type of hire and they went after Mike MacIntyre

The 2021-2022 Coaching Carousel

Basically he raises the floor from the Lake disaster by bringing instant offensive credibility. That's not nothing, but there does not seem to be much in the way of raising the ceiling either.
Overall, it all seems to fit the "hire the opposite of the guy you just fired" strategy.

I think ideally there should be a mix of guys from the G5 staff, legacy guys from the P5 staff, and outside hires - this way the headcoach is using his inside knowledge to get the best guys from his staff that are likely under the radar (because no one talks about G5 coordinators and assistants), is keeping some continuity, and is bringing in some fresh thinking / upgrading where the legacy guys are weaker.
I would have concerns about any candidate that was planning on going 100% one way or the other.
The outside hires aren't gonna happen until January usually, at which point they will be lost in the shuffle.
Agree with the macro point though - Washington isn't keeping up with Oregon, which I think they probably know and are comfortable with.
Interesting on Lanning’s staff at Oregon. Most said he would be wise to hire to grey hairs on his staff. His coordinator hires have been:
Dillingham 31 years old (0 coordinator experience)
Powledge 34 years old (0 coordinator experience)
We will see how this works out for him.
Btw Marion is rumored to Oregon as WR coach and he wiped all Pitt stuff off his Twitter today

This will be an expensive legal battle.
They will win 8-9 games on talent disparity alone.

But a fun one to watch.
Very true. But that’s not going to do it for Oregon. I’m sure they will be fine
Winning at least 8-9 games a year is nice.
I can remember when CU was a program that wasn't happy if a coach had double digit losses over a 3-year period.
Now we’re ecstatic when they don’t have double digit losses in a single season!
It is, but that would be a disaster for Oregon. You know this, of course
I never said win a MAXIMUM of 8-9 games. Rolling the dudes out and having an 8-9 game floor really enables the staff to get primed for the big games.

Agree and disagree-Washington doesn't need to completely rebuild, but they do have problems. They lost to Montana, got housed by Michigan (that game was 31-10 and it wasn't that close)....and then flash forward to the game here. UW looked like they had quit. They follow that up by getting obliterated by Wazzu at home.

Who called plays at FSU? Norvell?
It is a very good move. CA recruiting just got better for the goats
Eh, I get they are a G5 program and it’s the RB coach, but hiring a guy whose resume is limited to 6 years of high school coaching experience is not a “very good move” by any stretch. The reaction to this if Dorrell made this hire would be worse than what we’ve seen the last 24-48 hours

I know a see ess ewe alum, who used to work in their SID, who says everyone he knows is jacked about the moves their AD is making. If things fall the right way for them over the next couple years, they’re going to set themselves up nicely for the uncertainties that lie ahead for college football.
CU, on the other hand, is placing all their bets on KD. Awesome.

Nobody is inviting CSU to the adult table. Whether CU ends up there or not is another debate
I’m at the point where I don’t want us at the “adult table”. I’d rather be in a G5 conference and win 7-9 games/year.
I’m not there yet, at least not as long as other low end and middle tier teams are P5 status.
Also, CU dropping to G5 might be OK for the first few years, but emphasis on good football is still needed at the G5 level.
Good point.
Robert Anae has decided to step down as OC/OL at Virginia and will not participate in their bowl game.
He was with Mendenhall a long time. 3 of his starting OLs have decided to hit the portal (C and both OTs).
He'd be a spectacular hire as CU's OL/RGC if he was interested in another nice contract before retiring (62 years old). I'd have loved him for OC/OL, fwiw, but didn't think of him being available.

Maybe Cabral knows him from All-Poly camps. That's my faint hope since the only connection to Sanford I can think of that CU had was Cabral working for Sanford Sr and, I think, Turley being at Furd at the same time.
