Shurmur…
Ok, so a little context.
First 3 (OOC) - 41.3 ppg
Next 5 (P12 w Lewis) - 26.6 ppg
Next 3 (P12 w Shurmur) - 21.3 ppg
The first 3 includes a CSU game that had a defensive TD and saw CU score 22 points in the last minute of reg and the two OTs.
The next 5 under Lewis was a USC game that had them do nothing in the first half against a terrible defense and nothing in the second half against Stanford which was the catalyst for how this season is ending. This doesn’t even mention essentially getting shut out by Oregon.
I will also point out that once Shurmur took over, there was a much more concerted effort to run clock and shorten games, along with a generally more conservative strategy. Shedeur also didn’t play for pretty much the entire WSU game.
Shurmur isn’t good, but the offense wasn’t consistent, nor was it as good as people who haven’t really watched CU want to say it was under Lewis. There was a clear downward trend post-TCU. Red flags everywhere that we all kind of ignored.

Lewis to Syracuse would seem weird to me since he came up under Babers (who just got canned).
Oh I don’t think he’s getting a P5 HC job unless it’s one like Iowa State or Cincinnati or something. I’d also say he’s a great candidate for the Penn State OC job, but I just don’t see a tier 1/2 program going all in with the run and shoot/flash fast/QB run/RPO offense. It’s gimmicky in its truest form
They should call Sanford. Seriously.
He'd be a good fit in Flagstaff, I'd expect him to be able to recruit very effectively in Arizona and California.

I said the same thing about UNC last year.
UNC may have even lucked into a win with Sanford in charge this year.
Yea, I don't get why they didn't even give him a call.
Lewis’ stint as OC apparently broke numerous offensive records. If youre a well heeled 35 year old you may remember the prolific Donovan McNabb / Marvin Harrison offenses that set most of those records to begin with.

Some of y'all laughed at that take last year
Coaching at Nebraska is perfect preparation for coaching at A&M.
Never have a win total that matches the fans expectations and watch all your best players head for the portal.
It's hard to switch schemes like that.

Two of the more bizarre fanbases in the sport as well LOL
His players really liked and respected him.
Had he gone to Greeley it wouldn't have been a surprise if he didn't get 10-15 former Buffs to transfer with him. A lot of those guys were not PAC12 level players but would have been quality additions to UNC.
I don't know if he's ready, but if they give him a shot they better invest money in a veteran DC and veteran OL coach to handle a bunch of things while Marion focuses on his offense and all the HC/CEO functions. That's the model that has seemed to work in the NFL when they make a young hotshot OC their HC.
Who knows if this person actually knows anything, but I’ve seen a lot of stuff out there saying tOSU fans would be happy if he left. Why?
4 years, 4 finishes in the top 5.
But expectations have gone insane. He's lost to Michigan the last 2 years, hasn't won a B1G title since 2020, and has a 1-3 record in the playoffs. Buckeye fans refuse to accept this level of failure and personal suffering.
When I stood next to their fans at the Miami tOSU Fiesta Bowl all those years ago they were just hoping to not get embarrassed. now theyre as douchy as it gets.
MSU is going for Jonathan Smith
Could not criticize that move. Would be a huge blow for the Beavs as iirc he's an OSU alum and it was a "dream job" scenario.
Some coaches are going to have to choose between their dream job where they can make $3-4m/year but never compete for a championship, and being able to compete.
