This needs to be repeated plus he would have to give his next school a discount.

another idea to throw out there........
Probably not, but that's the reason you're hearing Petrino and Tressel right now- they're the two names available NOW.

If Embree was fired tomorrow, it wouldn't be a new coach who has no idea about anything at CU who would come in. An interim coach from within the staff would be named.
Tressel being hired before the WSU game would be huge.

True. IT would be a risk that other schools would not take

you guys are funny. jim tressel? a) he wouldn't want to touch this with a 10-foot pole. b) even assuming the .0000001% chance that he comes here, everything he touches goes to ****. do you really want a program that will once more have scholarship reductions in addition to bowl bans? the guy is a total douche.
Yeah, you're probably right. Bowl bans would really be detrimental to this program.

Bohn will not make any changes and neither will embree, they'll point to youth and only his 2nd year.
Maybe dillon at qb and wr's p-rich and jeffery thomas get us 1 win next year, this is ugly and will continue to be until someone at CU gets serious about having a decent football program.

Fire Embree now, Cabral as interim, hire Tressel, Tressel serves his 5 game suspension while Cabral is interim, then finishes out the year and gets a head start on next year.
This season is beyond saving at this point anyway. Why not. What have we got to lose?
Putting Cabral in charge would only tarnish his legacy.
Then Brookhart or Sherer.

The way his LB group has played over the last 5-7 years and recruiting in this area may have already tarnished it some.

Sorry to piss in the Cheerios but if your two words for me are "Jim Tressel" then my two words for you are "show-cause". After the Ohio State scandal that cost Tressel his job the NCAA slapped a five year show-cause penalty on him that follows him wherever he goes through the 2016 season. Any school that hires him between now and then has to appear before the NCAA every six months and give them a reason not to penalize your program (i.e.: their intention is to penalize you and you must give them a reason not to). Also if any violations occur under Tressel then CU will be treated as a repeat offender and the hammer will drop with recruiting restrictions, heavy scholarship reductions and postseason or TV bans. The show-cause penalty isn't a true blackball but no coach with one on him has ever been hired anywhere ever. He cannot and should not be hired by anyone.
It's better than this. I'd take crippling sanctions with Tressel than just being crippled by incompetence.

If all this is true then I agree - don't want that.

The crippling incompetence is done away with as soon as those responsible for it are fired. Embree's deal was done before the ESPN/Fox contract and before the Pac 12 Network locked down guaranteed profitability. WSU was paying Paul Wulff about what Embree makes now and when they scored the TV cash they were able to give Leach $2.2 million. All four new Pac 12 coaches signed after the TV deal was done are in the $2 million per year range. If there's that kind of money to spend you can find something good who won't have the NCAA camping out in Boulder hunting for something to get pissed off about.
Gonna have to climb the ladder all the way to president, then.

His buyout is half a mill. Nothing when we are talking PAC 12 money.

Who in their right mind would want to come here? It's not a top job anymore. Hell it's at the low end of the Pac-12 now. If Embree gets fired it's going to be a small school coach or a small time assistant coach from somewhere. Why would Tressel come? Smart? Petrino? Those are all pipe dreams for what's one of the toughest jobs at what's in the running for the worst BCS school in the nation. Unless CU threw around big money and could guarantee future facility upgrades then no one of merit is coming to this seeping pile of dog crap.

Is Mike Ditka available?
Sadly I am coming to terms with this. What a buzz kill.

Tressel would bring to us - what? Great knowledge of state of Ohio high schools? The ability to cheat and easily be caught? USC's donors are singing like a choir now - would Tressel's reputation bring us a "We can do that too!" badge? And this would be - uh - good?!! Look at Tressel's track-record in CU's top recruiting area - Calif.
It's zero.
THIS is what you'd want done for CU Football?

No big name will come here, and the idea to bring in disgraced coaches that were booted for cheating or lying to their administrations is laughable. Frankly I don't want to bring my kids to a game coached by a nationally rejected sleazeball anyway.
Our only real hope is to find a sucessful low tier Urban-Meyer-at-Bowling-Green type of coach that wants to use use as his stairstep to the big time. Obviously that doesn't carry a high likelihood of success.

Agree....we are in a death spiral....mistake after mistake after mistake by Bohn, etal. The theory that we could get back to a competitive team in a few years is laughable.

I think we should get Nick Saban, with Urban Meyer as the OC and Rex Ryan as the DC. They might be worthy to be the coaches of CU... Where do these delusions of grandeur come from?
