Ahem. I had forgotten about a bunch of that stuff.
as a coordinator
**** that, he's ready for the head job..
i flat out refuse to believe he is ready to be a head coach at any levelYou think he is better at calling plays than leading men? I would rather him be the face of the program and the leader!

You bet he is. He is gonna be a helluva coach, and this is our best chance to snatch him up.

I believe he got a DWI right before the 2001 season started, called Marcus Houston Marksheee, cusses a lot as a coach and got into some scuffle with a security guard/police officer as a player.
To be fair, Coach Mac's "baggage" (fairly or not) is much more than EB's baggage on the Boulder campus..

he is running back/ associate head coach... the only reason he is an assistant head coach is for a title so the only way he could be hired away is a promotion... there are rules against lateral moves in the nfl

kind of with BCS on this, too many Blake parallels for me; let us not forget Minny is a ****ing train wreck right now. Actually a direct comparison to Blake isnt fair, more of Blake light, especially with the recruiting/coaching experience parallels.
Why are people excited about EB?
1. Recruiting - He'll be landing recruits from Texas to California. Don't think it will be lost on people that he has coached or brought into the fold, two of the best HB's in the national football league between Adrian Peterson and MJD. If EB was hired at CU, he'd be the only African American head coach in the conference. While I shy away from such distinctions, favoring the most qualified guy for the job (which I still think his resume is up there), this matters to African American families sending their kids into an uber-white hippy town like Boulder. It gives us a lot more credibility in the recruits home which is a place where we've lost recruiting battles over the past few years.
2. Offensive Identity - With his two most recent years in Boulder, EB's run game finished 7th and 8th nationally. His UCLA teams featured MJD pounding the rock, physically. There is nobody who runs harder than AD in Minnesota and those that try to classify EB's success as just having a very talented back, his first year in Minnesota, Chester Taylor ran for 1200 yds, exploding out of no where. We are going to bring in horse-power on the line, we're going to have some wide-bodied, talented, thick half-backs that we haven't seen since we were crushing Nebraska 62-36. The style of play which will resemble Stanford right now, has shown it will be a formidable foe in the Pac 12 which is used to airing it out. Couple that with Boulder being at altitude, something most western schools know nothing about AND colder fall temperatures, including snow, we will easily stand out and alone in our style of play.
3. Intensity - How many people are tired of the tired, soft as dog-**** appearance under the Hawkins years? How many people paid to see that at Berkeley this year? It won't last under EB. He will dog it out of you. Don't like it? Go play somewhere else. This is exactly the determination we see from coaches like Saban among others. THIS is the way to lead the kids. Keep them working 110% and disciplined.
4. R-T-D - Plain and simple, EB reconnects CU to it's glory years. He understands what the program was, and will see the big picture again.
5. Connections - The guy is going to have a wealth of connections in the game that will help load up CU's coaching ranks. Hopefully he'll reconnect with a DC who will return us to a dominant 3-4 style of team on defense.

This worries me to. Let's take the nostalgia out of it and say EB never played or coached at CU. Now look at his resume. Would we still want him here as our next HC?

yep, the nostalgia is at the bottom of the list of why I want him here.
The guy is intense (something we've lacked), the guy is a helluva recruiter (something we've lacked), the guy has BCS experience (somethign we've lacked).
He was OFFERED the OFFENSIVE COORIDINATOR position at SOUTHERN ****ing CAL!!!

I will rep this post whenever the Junta refills my repstick.
that stuff I'm sure is being brought up by the factions on campus that will fight against Coach Mac coming back. And if you think people aren't gathering right now trying undercut a coach mac's candidacy you are being very naive. Not saying its fair and to me its much more minor than Coach Mac's time away from the game but its something that will be brought up against Coach Mac.
