    Tommy Tubberville?

    Almost forgot that the guy resigned from Auburn, what do you guys think about him as a coaching candidate for the eventually vacant HC job?

    Proven coach, suffered from extremely impatient and unrealistic Alabama fans in the extremely tough SEC.

    Um do you know who Tubbs is?

    He coached at Auburn, and he was their for near 10 years, his inability to replicate his undefeated season is what did him in not impatience.

    I don't think he'd fit in at CU. I don't think he'd even want to come to CU. He's a good coach, but he needs a SEC/ACC coaching job.

    No we need someone who bleeds CU FOOTBALL, someone who played or coached at CU during our glory days someone who knows what it takes to take CU back to where we belong and that's in the TOP 10 every year.

    Hiring from 'with-in' is a foolish idea that greatly reduces your pool of solid applicants and ultimately increases the chance you'll fail.

    not neccesarily, Mac didnt have any CU connections or bleed BnG before he got here.

    Tommy didnt resign, he was fired by the boosters despite what the media and school said.

    He would be a great fit and would succeed, even though I agree he's more of a Southern Coach. However, he's out of a job and cant get too picky himself.

    Slick Rick was successful before he took off, GB won before he got canned, we went out side of the house and look where we are at now. I understand your argument but right now CU isn't the CU of the 90's and what big name coaches do you think would want to come to CU and start all over?

    you mean like how John Blake and Mike Shula "got" OU FOOTBALL and ALABAMA FOOTBALL?

    pass on the back to the past hire.

    Many schools chase their alums to bring glory back, Miami has just done it, look at Michigan they tried very hard to land Les Miles and he didn't want to go back and pick up the mess that was at Michigan and start over. Many coaches go back to schools that they have ties with in the past.

    This has Logan written all over it.

    And I seriously want to know when has CU been in the top 10 EVERY year. Yeah we had a nice run, but lets not pretend that CU was in the top 10 EVERY year for 80 years.

    Auburn is in Alabama. When DCBuff said Alabama fans, he was referring to the State of Alabama, not the University of Alabama.

    Tubberville is an excellent coach, but he won't be hired at CU.

    This type of thinking gets people in trouble. If you are going to hire someone you find the best fit possible.

    CU has a lot of advantages but it also has some barriers in recruiting. My first criteria is a coach who is a lights out recruiter and understands the importance of assembling a staff of good recruiters.

    Second, is someone who has a good football knowledge and has demonstrated the ability to develop talent.

    I trust his resume and his choice of assistants should he come here. He won't be scrutinized here nearly as much as he would be in the southeast as long as he WINS GAMES. Which he has proven he can do. Winning at Auburn is very different from winning at Boise. He would toughen up this defense and bring in some great recruits on that side of the ball.
