The most recent rumors that are generally accepted on the football coaching front are:
1. Embree will return in 2013
2. The coaching staff will be gutted - maybe all 9 leave for other opportunities or are fired
We have to do all we can to ensure that this does not happen.
The problem was not that we had bad position coaches. Look at the resumes. CU has had fine position coaches the past two years.
The failure has been a lack of leadership at the top that could bring this talented group together in a coordinated way and get results both on the scoreboard and in recruiting. That has not happened.
Keeping the person at the top and then trying to hire into a situation where the coach is on the hot seat will not upgrade the position coaches. In fact, a downgrade is likely.
Further, this does nothing to boost recruiting. In fact, it would hurt it since it undermines any relationships with prospects that have already been established without a new head coach to outweigh that with the excitement of a new vision.
Finally, this causes another rebuild from within the program. New coordinators mean new systems and concepts that will need to be implemented with recruits who were brought in to run the old system.
This would be an absolute disaster of a plan and we have to do what we can to make sure it does not happen.
We still have a chance while no official word has been publicly given that Embree will be back along with major staff changes.
I will be publishing a new front page letter tomorrow. I and others are sending letters and working what media and other contacts we can. I can assure you that people are taking notice. They are still listening. The window is still open a crack.
So, please do what you can. We know we cannot trust the right decisions to be made without pressure and direction from an informed fan base. We have to go all-out to make a difference.
Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!
