Really horrible analogy. You drop crazy girlfriends all the time before finding a new one (or maybe you get lucky and they leave all on their own). Better comparison would be quitting a job before finding another one.

1 kind of; still coaching, but not on one of the four playoff teams.Rick/KD/Lance have had a few months to consider this thing, so here goes:
(1) our guy is still coaching, prepping for the CFB playoffs
(2) our guy is still coaching in the NFL.
(3) our guy is leveraging us as he has other offers now that have emerged late.
(4) our guy got stolen by another team, or got cold feet, requiring a restart.
(5) There is no guy, KD has no coaching contacts, nobody started to think about this until they fired Chev, and they are starting from zero in a very methodical way
(6) The hire is so embarrassing, it must be kept quiet until after NSD.
I put these in a specific order of likelihood, but cannot disclose is that order is ascending or descending. Make up your own mind!
That assumes you need a girlfriend.
Is promoting a grad assistant to do the interim coaching/recruiting the same as relying on Rosie for a bit?

Hoping it’s #1 but a bowl game not playoff more realistic.Rick/KD/Lance have had a few months to consider this thing, so here goes:

it’s probably #4 because we are the Buffs.
Bowl games without consequences don’t stop assistants from announcing they are moving on. Not these days.

Sooner or later we’ll see.

As time continues to rot our souls, #4 becomes more likely. And it’s probably plural as in guys are being stolen/opting out/waiting to see if better offers come. Stated without any attempt at hyperbole. It’s very likely the reality.

WTF?
Especially if the OC/WR/OL hires don’t help bump up recruiting.

A complete inability to multitask. So on brand.
I'd assumed that WSU by promoting their DC to be the Head Coach would keep their offensive staff intact. Nope.
www.nbcrightnow.com
/TLDR:
WSU hires Incarnate Word head coach Eric Morris to lead offense. IWU had a very good offense and their young QB just entered the portal...
They also hired the OL coach from USC (Clay McGuire), who was OL coach for 6 years under Leach for a number of years at WSU. Morris coordinated at TTU for 5 years thru 2017.
Dear Rick - this is how you do it....
'We're gonna do it our way': Washington State coach Jake Dickert talks new 'Coug Raid' offense, introduces recently hired coordinators
Washington State coach Jake Dickert declined to call it the “Air Raid.”

Maybe Oregon hires Chip and UCLA wants KD back!
yeah, thought about posting something about it but figured nobody here would care.
that, and I'm waiting for Clemson to hire one so I can piss-off a lot of Allbuffers by starting a thread titled "CU hires offensive coordinator!"
I’ll throw out a name of a guy from our past who didn’t totally suck and might be willing to take on this challenge: Eric Kiseau. He has connections in the West, has OC experience, and might be looking to make a move. He wouldn’t thrill me, but he might be our ceiling for a hire like this.
Hmmm
Big Jim
WTF?
He didn't?
Is it just me, or did anyone else read this as a hint we were going to hire someone with Oklahoma ties?
No. He didn’t. What we had this year was total suck. He was mediocre in his first chance at being OC here. That was a long time ago, and you’d have to figure He’s learned quite a bit since then.
Basically, he’d be an entirely “meh” hire, but I don’t think we should be expecting anything better. I could talk myself into cautious optimism with Kiseau a whole lot easier than I could with Langsdorf.
That dude is like 32 I think is what I read. That's not a problem at all imho.
Bob Simmons? Coached at Okie Lite, has connections to the Mac glory years and, if I am not mistaken, has a house in Boulder.
Big Jim
WTF?
I'm not finding his connection to KD. No connection, no hire.
