Who's your favorite (Nov 8 edition)?

[Tatanka™]

I could actually get behind Hartline as the guy. He's like peak Tosh without the NCAA violations and better player development. Just get him an OC to run the Urban/Day offense and we'd be off to the races.

I miss the other Tosh.

How is Logan not on the list?

I figured Logan was unanimously understood to be the dream hire that CU keeps missing out on. Didn't think it needed to be posted.

Jamoca Almond Fudge. November 8th and every day.

CU needs a coach to bring in a talent upgrade. Recruiting is more important than coaching. When you have talent, coaching is easy.

I am very concerned that CU will mandate keeping Sanford on as OC/QB since I believe he's owed around $1.5M and he's well-liked inside Dal Ward (just won't be getting the HC job).

If that is true, then my preference for HC shifts hard to someone who brings an offensive system.

Grimes (or Herman) or bust in that scenario, IMO.

He should have never been hired as our OC in the first place. Obviously. FFS (if true).

He has an offset and must be a casualty of this transition. The dude is an abject disaster.

Nothing like spending $13m to get rid of Dorrell and Wilson only to turn around and saddle the new HC with a $750k/year OC who ****ing sucks

 

[Not Sure]

There can’t be any restrictions on the new staff. None. Haven’t we learned our lesson there?

 

[leftybuff]

Whynot keep Bob Lopez and Chandler too? I really hope this is not true.

But that would go against the standard that RG has set in the AD under his jurisdiction. He forces coaches on people. Jim Leavitt, Hagan and Chev, Chev again, Summers, it's what he does. History indicates that Sanford (and probably Hagan even though he's bad) will be required to be retained. Hope I'm wrong.

Part of me wants to see this happen. Let's get full-on dysfunction, no partial credit here.

 

[Liver]

I think coach Sanford will fit in very well as an offensive analyst — Bama style— for the new hc

 

[Liver]

Oh, and i guess if we are going to pretend and limit ourselves to this list, I’d go:

herman
grimes
bronco
walters


but i have it on good authority (it came to me in a dream) that the REAL list is prime, EB, tosh, and the pirate.

 

[SINKRATZ]

Bumping this since we’re getting down to the wire.

Who do I want? Herman
Who do I predict? Grinch

 

[White_Rabbit]

Want: Herman
Predict: Bronco
Fire Rick George immediately: Grinch or Justin Fuente

 

[CUav8er]

Happy: Herman, Mendenhall, Mullen
OK with: Grimes, Longo, Golesh
Grab the mother****ing pitchforks: anyone we haven’t extensively talked about on the boards.

 

[leftybuff]

I still cannot believe anybody at CU thinks it is a good idea to have RG anywhere near this hire.

81-55 record (46-40 at P5)
9/12 seasons bowl eligible (4-6 this year, so assuming not)

Would you hire this guy at CU?

Spoiler: Candidate

I would and I'd call it a home run. But he doesn't seem to come close to the standard most CU fans are expressing.

It doesn't because some CU fans are leery of the bubble of success at BYU. Winning at BYU is not like winning at a "regular" P5 school (and mind you much of that winning was done in the Mtn. Weenie Div.). Once leaving the cozy confines of the G5, double digit wins in a season were rare. The dude does know the Las Vegas Bowl though, I'll give him that.

He was a sub .500 HC at UVA. I think that is the reason no one else is targeting him as HC. I have seen nothing on him relative to anyother HC search. Maybe it is out there, but only CU seems to be chasing, sort of like KD.

You see Herman, Grimes et al. everywhere, but Bronco is only showing up on CU's radar. Why?

MWC much better than MAC.

MWC much better than MAC.

And Fat Tire is better than Schlitz. What in the world does a MWC v. MAC comparison have to do with this?
