"Young disciplinarian" - RG's criteria on KOA halftime interview

So who fits that profile?

First, we should probably define "young". Someone I worked for once defined it to me as a matter of perception: "Old is at least 10 years older than your current age and young is someone at least 10 years younger. Your definition changes as you age."

I think that's a good starting point. Rick George is 58 and turns 59 in April. That points to him wanting to hire someone under 50 years old.

"Disciplinarian" can mean off-field stuff, but I don't think that applies in this case. MacIntyre did just fine in terms of player behavior and academic performance away from the field. That doesn't seem to be what needs to be fixed. So I think we're looking at a definition that's more about a coach whose team (or unit if a coordinator) has been fundamentally sound, avoids dumb penalties, and executes in crunch time. Probably someone who has a history of holding players and coaches accountable for performance with benchings and firings.

Hey... that could be me... how much does the job pay...? $2.5M/yr? Hell, I'll bench every starter and fire people every week for that?

I'm your guy, I'll even do that for $2.3M, but there better be one hell of a buyout!

It may be more expedient to see who is excluded based upon these conditions. Probably excludes Tedford and Leavitt.

During halftime of the game last night Mark Johnson threw it down to the sideline reporter Mark Macintosh who said that Rick George was on the sideline and that he had just asked him about the coaching search. Macintosh said that RG didn't divulge much but, did say that he was looking for a young disciplinarian.
 
I just think it's an extremely stupid thing to say. If you're a hiring "manager", you should never say you want somebody young, it's bad form (and not legal).

While I agree in theory - I don't think "young" is inherently beneficial to this team, who knows what he actually said or meant.
 
RG is probably throwing crap out there to get people off his ass from who he should or shouldn’t hire. This guy said everything we have said as fans; except without all the expletives. He wants conference championships, national championships and understands what it takes. He knows the recruiting process and who’s worth going after. He’s not going to have some food cart incident. He’s worked too long with others to get things up to par. Young, as said, is 10-15 years younger. I’d say Tupoi, Lake or Day.

Manipulating media. And chat boards.
 
I would focus more on young. Doesn’t want a Les Miles, a Jeff Tedford, a Jim Leavitt. I agree with that approach. CU needs to go young versus a retread. However, Rick George also said he wanted a coach with prior power five head coaching experience. Ok, a young, successful P5 head coach...seems like a very tough ask to find that guy without serious dollars. I think this means he’s shifted to a P5 coordinator search.

The disciplinarian is more a shift away from MacIntyre, who is a bit of a softy. You know, the sideline tears flowing and all. Who was the poster that was calling MacIntyre a beta male? LOL. Some truth there, even if you hate the term of art. In my opinion, and I guess Rick’s too, college coaches that stick a boot up their players asses are generally more successful than the Sweet Pete or Slick Rick types.

I think he goes hard after Lake.
