PlausibleProbably BS...... but ...... somebody I know who works in the AFA AD, told me recently that the CU job was offered to Calhoun, but ultimately he rejected it because the CU AD refused to allow him to chose his own co-ordinators as RG was "forcing" Chev/Summers on him and he was "uncomfortable" with that
Considering this is also the rumor surrounding the almost hire of Sark...Probably BS
What other options?
triple the options....
If he would have been able to adapt the triple option to a more modern offense with spread/RPO concepts and a balanced passing attack, it could have worked. He’s obviously a really good coach but would have to adjust his recruiting mindset and learn to coach a different type of person, but he definitely has his players fundamentally sound and playing hard.
I only watched the first half but they were airing it out and burning Louisville deep.
If we are going to continue down the recruiting trail we are on, the only way we win any games is to go full triple option. That’s what teams with less talent do. Embrace it.
Calhoun is a Kubiak guy who ran his offense in the NFL. He said when Tennessee & Colorado kicked the tires that he wouldn't be running triple option if he wasn't at a service academy.
Calhoun is, was, and shall be a better option than KD ever would have been.
Comparing a college coach to KD is like comparing something the smell of the porta potty at the chili festival.
Wtf man, you been calling Jalapeno late at night? Don't tell your wife.
He would have to surround himself with killer recruiters, but his offense and his leadership would fit just fine
I really don't understand your strong dislike for Calhoun. I think he'd be a lot like Tad gives us. In consideration of what CU will allow these days, it will take someone like that to make CU football respectable again and rebuild support. I don't think there's a quick fix because the will to do the things which allow a quick fix aren't there. I also believe RG was forced to accept this when MT left and he couldn't deliver what Sark needed to give a yes. KD ended up being his "slow build through fundamentals & program stability" guy -- a realization Bohn arrived at almost a decade earlier when he tried to hire Calhoun & what led him to MM.
More than fair.
No, that would be anyone who has ever been part of this program being mentioned for the next “X coaching position”.
If whipping CU gets a coach on the list, it will be a very long list.
that is very true.
Which is good, I’m just still skeptical of a guy who has never had to recruit a P5 type player ever in his career or play the modern recruiting game.
Yeah. He'd said in the past that he would run something more along the lines of Kubiak's offense he worked in. His AFA offense was to fit the players not because he's a triple option guy.
