That’s been going on for a week on this site.
Service academy coaches do the same recruiting as any other college staff. They have an evaluation system, a set of academic guidelines (as does most schools) and a peer group of institutions they compete with. Air Force isn't competing against Alabama and either is CU right now. So while there are differences in who Colorado is competing against vs Air Force's competition, the sell is largely the same. The benefits of each are a bit different, but it's still all about talent evaluation and sales.
And I say that because I'm a big Ken Niumatalolo fan and think he'd be a great coach anywhere, but especially in the PAC12.
But I have a feeling that he will likely end up at BYU one day if that job opens up.
And as Duff mentioned the other day, the success at Air Force is impressive compared to expectations, but Army and Navy have been pretty good recently as well. What does that really say?

fascist tool
Hire both of them. We get a HC for 1 mil/year
Worst ubl ever?
Why risk just letting your HC candidate slip through your fingers when you can have an entire staff do the same?
Option football needs to be popular again!
1,1,1
If we're going to go that ridiculous route might as well go Moschetti, who at least is currently coaching football.
Not the most ridiculous suggestion for a candidate.

It’s absolutely not the same sell. A program like CU should be able to sell making it to the NFL, yes the service academies have a bit more leeway of letting players go play as of late, but no service academy is walking into any 4 star recruits living room and selling them on pro potential. Yes there is a lot more that goes into recruiting than getting drafted, but service academies also recruit well over 25 players a year.
Yes they still have to evaluate talent just like any other staff does, but Calhoun does not exactly ooze charisma. Great coach, but he’s not a P5 fit.

We could be the pioneers of this method just think how we could be trend setters.

WTF?
No chance, he coaches on Sundays.
It certainly doesn’t help that RG got caught scheduling back surgery during the “off season”. We are dealing with a highly qualified sports executive arguably at his worst dealing with, again arguably, the worst possible scenario in terms of trying to find a new head coach.
This really ****ing sucks.
This really ****ing sucks.
With the same track record that he’s had at CU of one season as OC and being demoted? He would not be a serious candidate here, and the only reason he has been interviewed is because he’s the AHC and interim HC on the staff.
Big Jim
WTF?
If he was an OC, not having been demoted back to a WR coach based on performance, at CU he would have had a better shot. At another school, based on performance, he would have zero chance.
Because every other P5 AHC/OC is also under consideration?
You realize he's not the OC here though, right?
With that said, and with Schecks point well taken, Chev might be a home run. But it's early still in his career and a bit risky. No P5 school is taking that risk on him without more track record.
Same sell, a few different parameters. Selling is selling. It's what I do all day everyday. Calhoun convinces kids to go AF rather than Navy, but also to go AF rather than CSU. Pretty identical.

All I can say at this point is I hope all these Grinch, Harrel reports are bullsh*t. RG seems like a damn intelligent guy. When the smoke clears I hope its nobody anyone considers and blows us all away. Grinch is a POS and Harrel??? Not impressed. Its like this...Msu got nasty with $$$ and stole a coach away. Go steal a coach with thats better! Gimee a Kalen DeBoer type! Someone who can make an immediate difference. Tucker got a pass as most1st year coaches do BUT his cupboard was plenty good to compete in the Pac. **** Montez under good guidance could have dominated! Take your time, get a f*ckin powerful donor and get after it. Patr where the f*ck are you? Step up its not like you don't have it!
