The longer the wait, the more that DC position needs to be a surprise poach from a top 15 team.
It should be good for everyone. Clark gets a chance for more money and more experience. He had been under MMac's is whole career. Cu can replace him with a recruiter with better ties to our hotbeds.
Two former Buffs that might have a similar impact as Chev are Bradford from USC or Walters from Missouri. Could be a better fit.

Agree but more concerned with losing any db recruits.
Snarkier response on my part than what your question deserved BC, my apologies for that.

No offense taken. All good.
Huh?
Walters would be an excellent target.

Please stop wit former Buff talk. It's great when a former Buff IS the best coach for the job, but let's get the best assistants we can regardless of where they went to school.
Clark is very replaceable, he was on a nice upward trajectory but let's be honest, is it better to give him a raise knowing his limitations or hiring a new CB coach or secondary coach that fits our needs (recruiting area, higher ceiling as a coach, etc.) better than Clark. Also If the new DC has say on the defensive staff (not sure if MM really gives that with himself being a derensive coach) or at least a possible better mesh.
Also continuity is good, but it can also lead to some complacency and with the exception of Leavitt and Mac as an assistant, how many of the guys on this staff or who were a part of it have been a part of big time football winners or high pressure jobs that can keep building this. I welcome some hungry fresh coaches to the staff and hopefully they will have been a part of big time programs who are built to win mixed with some young hungry guys to keep it pushing.

He's doing well. Got promoted to Co-DC at Mizzou in his 2nd year. Sounds like he's done well as a recruiter, too. But I don't think he's ready for the promotion to DC and I'm not sure that CU could even offer a lateral move to his current title.
He's making $100k more than Chev or Adams so I agree that he's probably not coming here for a lateral move.
Chip Kelly for DC
Based on what?
It's not that I have hard feelings, it's where they are going.
Bummer. CU just has to go out and find someone as good or better. I think we are an appealing destination now. I also think Rick George will provide the incentive needed to attract a top guy.
What pisses me off is Leavitt poaching guys from our staff. It feels a bit dishonorable to me. Now, if those two, in turn, poach CU commits, then I will be really pissed.
I wonder if Clark's leaving was known to the team ahead of the game? If so, it had to have been a distraction at the very least.

Problems you are going to have with success. Did not expect it in the conference but if Whoregon is going to go SEC with salaries, whelp CU and many other Pac 12 schools would not be able to compete. Let's see who MM gets in here. Could be an opportunity and willing to wait an see on this one. Hope the DC is done pretty soon though so we can shore this thing up.

Embree for TE coach!
Timing is secondary (forgive the pun). MM took forever to hire Leavitt and it was a home run hire.
I'd like the hire fast but much better to make the hire right.
Yes but the recruiting class was garbage so not as big a concern about trying to finish strong in recruiting.
I was not suggesting as a DC, but as a DB coach. Didn't realize his title was beyond that. Carry on.
Correct. Time is definitely a factor now, completely different from 2014.
Just wondered why you consider him an excellent potential hire.
