Classy: Montez does an interview on CU radio. GB gives him some advice and accepts it with a “that’s good advice.” He didn’t have to do any of that. (Especially considering the advice was get right back to work getting better tomorrow.).

are you kidding? MM was national head coach of the year in 2016 and had 1 out of 6 seasons where he had a winning record.....it's a tragedy he got fired.
Oh!! Even more interesting on Montez interview: “I really hope they keep Coach Roper (as part of new coaching staff).”
No mention of Chev.

You are right, it's frustration for us too. I looked at JMac like I did Scotty McKnight. Then I read Ann Henry. I also was one of the only ones unimpressed by his tribute to his dad this week, then the MM all over today, then the perceived lack of effort.. Changed my opinion. Made it easy to mob mentality jump on this. In the end though you are right, it shouldn't be the judge of his character, it's just what I want to believe right now. It's wrong, and I'll get over it. Maybe.
That seems to be the theme--no players (that I know of) have gone out of their way to praise and/or stick up for Chiaverini (or Eliot for that matter).
Request denied. If you wanted to keep your coach you should've played better the 2nd half of the season.

The common denominator for sucky offense since Lindgren left is Chiv. He’s a good recruiter but the offense is a hot, uninspired **** show. Fire all of them, now!
Actually outside of the OL, TE, and RB (now that McMillan is leaving) we have P5 talent, at least as starters. We have some other areas where our depth is almost non-existent but this is a team that for the most part can line up against most P5 teams.
The OL situation kills us though. With a decent OL McMilan could have had a much bigger year, he is a talented guy. We almost abandoned any passing attack that required time to develop because Montez just wasn't getting it. By the end of the year he had the look of a QB who had been under constant pressure and taken too many hard hits.
We had a lot of complaining about our DBs but looking at other P5 teams we were still at least as good as most of the mid-level teams at DB. We got spoiled by having a bunch of high draft choices in years past but these guy while not outstanding were at least decent, and that with Miller basically out all year and Abrams missing multiple games and playing some hurt.
Why though can't we figure out special teams. Blackman isn't a punt returner, he doesn't have sufficient ball security. period. His potential to break one is not sufficient to compensate for his inability to cleanly secure the ball. A head coach with a functioning brain would have made the switch after the first couple bad games.

Zero coaches likely kept by new HC. None deserve it.

What will we do without the read option 4 times a drive? Honestly our playcalling was awful down the stretch, cal game included. Plane Jane awful scheme and guys like Montez are allowed to do whatever the hell they want. The discipline in this game was atrocious. We need to find somebody who will coach these guys hard. I can’t take any more of Montez’s terrible mechanics, throwing the ball off his back foot amongst hundreds of other things.
I actually think that Montez could have called a better game on his own. The kids has really added a lot of knowledge and is obviously paying attention to it. I think he made a few audibles on his own and each one was effective.

I’ve been largely critical of Montez. Way more than a lot of sunshine pumpers here talking about him being a 1st round draft pick. It’s comical to think of him as anything other than a udfa and won’t make it anywhere close to the league unless he grows the f up in a hurry.
The effort today with it all on the line was pathetic. He deep sixes everybody’s season almost by himself.

Defense travels well though, especially yours, although your D-Line does not seem to generate an incredible amount of pressure. Your LB's and DB's are really well coached and scheme the heck out of each play. Seems like you may as well focus on being a simple running team first, and then use a dual threat QB to make a few throws per game.
He’s frustrating for me. He makes a ton of horrible decisions on where to go with the ball, especially for a junior. Then, he’ll make a great read, like the TD pass to Nixon. I just expect him to be better with those decisions. Too often he throws into coverage and too often he shows a complete lack of awareness in the pocket, rolling out of it when he doesn’t need to. He just doesn’t seem to be progressing like you’d expect an upperclassman should.
IMO Chev's obvious recruiting chops got mentally transformed by many in Buff Land up to a level of OC prowess that he doesn't yet have. Hope he does the work in FCS or G5 to re-boot. I think he gets a WR coaching gig in G5 and continues to be a successful recruiter. Best of luck to him.

Calling him a "great player" for CU is a little much I think. He had some great moments but he has been an average player for his career. And his attitude today, and all week really, has been quite a bit short of all about the team.
Tough situation for him certainly, but are you about your dad or about your team?
Oh. U$C has our same problem now. 5-7 no bowl. And maybe looking for a new coach. Haaaa!!!
Though, would have been the perfect year to beat them.

I agree. Not a great player. Punched above his weight more often than not but his career here will not be memorable.

JMac would not have played at any other P12 school (besides maybe OSU, even that’s a stretch.) That’s a fact.

And yet the coaches still had him out there. You'd think the coaches maybe would have given other guys a shot, but this is the CU coaching staff we're talking about.
Disagree. He is a very good, reliable slot receiver.
That’s not a fact. He’s been very effective in the slot.

we're winning at life, man. don't worry!

Could it be that the design of our plays is absolute trash as well? I have a hard time figuring out if our routes are designed to actually get anyone open or if they're just routes.
Good question. When other team’s QB scrambles, they find WRs running free for big plays. When Montez scrambles it’s like our WRs just stop or disappear completely. It’s like they have no plan whatsoever for a scrambling QB.
Oh, ****. We didn't get annexed by Nebraska while I was out, did we?!?
