Bohn's Form Letter and My Response

Thank you for the form letter response. Here's all I want to know. Do you honestly believe, HONESTLY BELIEVE, that after performances like we've seen all season culminating today at KSU, that the AD is going to continue to operate in the black, and that you'll be able to raise anything on the foundation you've built? If you believe that CU sports, especially football, are headed in the right direction, you don't know what you're doing. It doesn't take a fancy degree to understand the finances of college sports. Football is king, and if you want to continue to operate in the black, you NEED to do something about the product that YOUR HIRE is putting on the field. Again, this isn't San Diego, this isn't Idaho, go back to the drawing board and show us you CAN actually make a solid coaching hire or resign yourself.

Thank you for your email to Regent Bishop, our CU Administration and Chancellor Phil DiStefano. I have been asked to respond on behalf of the institution. I appreciate your feedback and I share your frustrations surrounding the competitive results of the football program. When you review the athletic program only from a scoreboard perspective, we are falling short. However, when you look at the infrastructure of the program, we have begun to build a solid foundation. For example, financially we have been in the black for three years in a row. Our academic performance is at institutional record highs and we have made significant improvement in our facilities to include new meeting rooms, weight room, locker room and new lights that were installed in the stadium this summer.

We are committed to winning and no one wants to win more than I do. One of our points of interest this year is our competitiveness and a passion to win. We remain steadfast in our efforts to improve our win-loss record along with our fundraising, community outreach and ticket sales. Fundamentally strong athletic programs to not turn around quickly. We are working hard to build the enterprise for the long-term and I am confident that our future is bright. I appreciate your feedback and welcome any additional suggestions you may have. People like you will play an integral role in our efforts to turn the program around.

Have a great day and Go Buffs!

Sincere best wishes,

Mike Bohn
Director of Athletics

I don't know if we can continue operating in the black.

We can't cut any more programs to make it happen and still be part of the NCAA, right?

Reviewing the program from a scoreboard perspective is falling short? That is all that matters?!:bang:

Competitiveness and passion to win is a "point of interest"? What bull****!!
 
Well, they have obviously started treating this thing as strictly a business. They can care less about winning as long as they are brining in the cash and getting huge $$ from Nike for changing our tradition which has now been completely flushed down the toilet.

**** YOU BOHN, and you too Hawk. You guys aren't getting a single dime from me until you prove that you are willing to do whatever it takes to WIN EVERY GAME WE PLAY!
 
The e-mail, obviously, is bs at this point. But I'm not sure what else he can say now. Is he honestly going to send an e-mail saying "Yeah, the dumbass mother****er is DONE at the end of the season. I'm already looking for somebody to fix this mess"? Even if that is what he's thinking, which I pray he is....

I dunno, but it would be pretty freaking entertaining to see an AD refer to the head coach as the "dumbass mother****er".:lol:
