My concern with Cignetti is that James Madison has been really good under 4 straight coaches. They haven’t had a losing season in 20 years yet the 3 guy s who preceded Cignetti haven’t gone on to do much of anything afterwards. Maybe that’s unfair to Cignetti but also JMU seems to be an easy place to win at.
That's fair.
The difference is making the jump to FBS this year and the success he’s continuing to have. Herman is probably the only guy I have trouble finding any issues with to be honest. Feels like CU has a chance to go all in with a guy who should probably still be the HC of a tier 1 program
With Herman, there'd be more opportunity for CU to establish their HC sooner than waiting on a coach who is currently coaching, right?
Chaote’s name has definitely been floated for CU. He’s actually been mentioned for several opening in the last couple of years (Washington, WSU, CSU, among others). With Sarkisian’s status highly questionable and his age (52), he would be a very gettable candidate since he kind of needs to shoot his shot soon.
That's a name that hasn't crossed my mind. I'd be happy with that. I didn't realize his name had been floated already either.
Sean Kugler would be a possibility for OC (or at least OL/AHC).
The only way I see these coordinators working is if they take control of their side of the ball, groom a position coach, and then spend big (or as big as CU can go) on the other side of the ball. Otherwise, we are looking at coordinators who are learning on the job
Had a masterpiece game yesterday.
I think that most fans are coalescing around the following:
Kasey Dunn is also looking like a genius…
Damn good coach and seems to kick ass at whatever job he's given.
On "swing for the fences" my opinion is that you first throw the Hail Mary to Petersen (I love mixed metaphors). Is he motivated to be a HC again? Are there terms & conditions which would get him to CU? If "yes" to those questions then that's what you put everything you have toward before giving any consideration to any other option.
Generally agree with this except not sure just about everyone would get behind Harsin or even Chryst based on some of the reporting we heard. I think you’d heard some griping over an O’Brien hire too even though he was actually a pretty good coach with the Texans, just a terrible GM.
Yeah. I don't know why people would question O'Brien, though. He delivered winning seasons at Penn State in the toughest situation possible and, despite the scholarship limits & negative recruiting, left the program at a talent level they could continue to win & rebuild from.
I’d be fine with O’Brien personally - I think people would be negative towards him based on the condition he left Houston, but I actually look at his record there compared to what has happened since and maybe it was actually a pretty good coaching job despite a dysfunctional organization.
You’ve been consistent on this over the past several weeks. I know he’s the play caller, but is it really Gundy‘s offense? That’s one of the things that gives me some pause.
Where the **** is my name on that list? I can do it Goddamnit.
