If he was fired when he should have been, like at the end of last year, a new, competent coach could have come in and won possibly eight games this year and got the ball rolling with some serious momentum. We were fairly talented this year, the Big 12 is WAY, WAY down, and we had a fairly reasonable schedule. The only really no-hope games on our plate this year were Cal and Oklahoma. Missouri and Nebraska are better than us even with a good coach, but we could have beaten one of them.
As it stands, we lose significant talent this year and even more the following year. We are looking at huge holes at the RB, DB positions in the immediate future and I am confident that our OL is sure to be absolutely miserable by 2012, if not earlier; not that it is any good now, but it will get worse. Major will remain the only impact player in our front seven, if he can ever stay on the field. The only position on the roster for next year that can be said to be any kind of strength at all is WR.
Hansen will be a senior but he is a known commodity at this point and he will be a below-average QB in our next conference.
What "setting the table" has occurred? I look at the roster on this team and the absolutely terrible 2009, 2010 and surely 2011 recruiting classes and see that we will suck fiercely for at least three more years IF we hire a good coach.
CU is an absolutely enormous rebuilding project at this point. We have a losing culture, a loser-team public perception, little talent, incompetent leadership from the AD and university admin., and have oscillated between mediocre and terrible for the last nine seasons.
Bringing Hawkins back this year did irreparable damage. The ONLY way for CU to turn it around IMO is to make a huge splash with the next coaching hire. That isn't going to happen.
