He nearly beat ou, he crushed BYU, I'm 100 percent in his corner... his teams are disciplined and always play hard.... troy calhoun for buffs coach
His players are disciplined because that is how their entire day is.
we'll see how close he can keep the score at OU

Its nice to talk about how disciplined his teams are, but have we seen it translate to the athlete we want at CU? Calhoun is a good coach, I will give him that, but as far as coaching CU I see Dan Hawkins ver 2.0, with him wondering why his system didn't work and why it is so hard to win at CU.
The more I think about I am on the Mac or Mc bandwagon before Calhoun.
Hawk has a system?
I'll take this guy.
He appears to have a system

BCS,
Didn't learn your lesson with Bzzzzzzzz? Good coach, pro experience, zero experience recruiting to a BCS school. What works at the academy is completely different from CU unless you're striving for us to be a mid-level MWC team. What do you think the components of a good college coach are?
What lesson - Buzz was a damn good coach IMO, and the talent level at CU is way ahead of where it was under Patton. He got an ACC job at a school where his daughter attends - don't see the problem.
That said, I just don't like the idea of Calhoun at CU. He's 27-15 which is fine, but not exciting. It's not like he's beating BCS schools either - his biggest win at AF is arguably the BYU win this year, or maybe Utah or TCU 3 years ago. Honestly, I don't see why people are so excited about this guy. He was OC for a sh**ty Houston Texans team that averaged 16 points per game and went 6-10...BFD.
I posted this in a thread in Barzil- this needs to be brought up here
Calhoun has no California ties
Calhoun has no personality
Calhoun has what looks to be a small "coaching tree" to pull from for assistant coaches
Calhoun doesn't look to have what it takes to recruit to a BCS Conference school
Look at Calhoun's record- what are his signature wins at AFA ?
it's last year's win against #25 Houston (mid-major school) in the Armed Forces Bowl
In 2007 AFA beat a 3-9 Notre Dame team in South Bend (is this really a signature win?)
call me very concerned !!
and from rumors.... Bohn has major tunnel vision for Calhoun
sounds like donors are concerned that Bohn will go this direction even with threats that donations will be pulled off the table
if Calhoun scares you then you must e-mail Bohn and put on the pressure that he looks elsewhere or you too will cancel season tickets
& no longer donate-
Bohn is more concerned CU hires a 'good guy' who doesn't upset faculty than a winner
