That CU has contacted Univerity of Utah's Kyle Whittingham about replacing Dan Hawkins. Thoughts?
Can't believe he would be interested.
oh ya, and Jordan Wynn is now their starter and kicking some ass from what I heard.My thoughts exactly. Why would he want to leave Utah to come here?

. Can't believe he would be interested.
If it came to that, I'd actually rather stay the course with Hawkins and avoid the turmoil of a regime change.
Why not? Just because we suck now doesn't mean we will forever. We're in very much the same spot OU was in in 1998 when they hired Stoops. CU has a lot going for it, let's not forget that.

There is enough talent here for him to see how he could win... but I dunno, to quote a post from BB in the Jordan Wynn thread, Utah Football>>>>>>>>Cu football right now :huh:Utah has a lot going for it, too. Other than getting into a BCS conference, there isn't a lot of upside going from Utah to CU right now.

I disagree. Outside of us fans, we're NOWHERE near the job that OU is. OU football is life in Oklahoma. We rock 50,000 when we're good....pay bottom of the league, 1 year assistant contracts, aging facilities and little financial support, etc.
Im not a glass half empty guy, CU has a **** ton going for it, too. But, I dont think we can be in the same breath in terms of job quality as OU.
:yeahthat: I would prefer to move in a direction other than a spread offense, but I wouldn't jump off a building if they hire Whittingham.I'd be interested...not one of top 3 i'd want but interesting none the less!
he's a defensive guy, even if he did follow Urban Meyer.. not sure what O he would bring.:yeahthat: I would prefer to move in a direction other than a spread offense, but I wouldn't jump off a building if they hire Whittingham.
Utah is to BYU as CSU is to CU. It's second fiddle in Utah, even when they are doing well. And make no mistake, they've been doing VERY well lately.
I just don't think we should be selling ourselves so short. CU is a top tier school in a good area to recruit with a major media market. We all think we deserve better than what we're getting, but then say "oh, he'd never want to come here". Why the hell not? How many national championships does Utah have? How many Heisman Trophy winners?
Unfortunately just one less of each. :huh:
There's a big difference between zero and one, my good man.
I doubt CU would have contacted him. Maybe a search firm did. But that's usually kept extremely quiet.
Assuming that he's on the short list, I'm not so sure it's an upgrade. We've already got a head coach that has no BCS conference background (even as an assistant) who enjoyed a ton of success as a non-BCS head coach.
If it came to that, I'd actually rather stay the course with Hawkins and avoid the turmoil of a regime change.

Are you this schizophrenic in real life, too? You're all over the map regarding Hawkins.
