Jeffcoat FIRED!

Gone public. Good.
Best for both.
Must be pretty close to a hire.

I take no pleasure in someone losing their job, especially as coach Jeffcoat seems like a good person, but this needed to happen.
That is what makes sense to me given the personalities in the football program. But still, I wouldn't be all that surprised if nothing is in the works and this was allowed to be released because Jeffcoat already found a job.
Don't forget Adams. That's now just two.

Klayton too.
Well... thanks. Thanks a lot.
I don't either. However, one, its a business and, two, he got quite a bit of time compared to others especially when things were clearly wrong here.
Plus, it states "a source has confirmed to BuffZone.com that defensive line coach Jim Jeffcoat will not remain with the staff for the upcoming season."
Not quite what the thread title states, although almost certainly true.
No need to walk on egg shells here.
A hire may not be imminent, but it is certainly in the works, especially since Adam has had this info for a little bit now. My completely uneducated guess is the hire is known in some capacity by Monday.
Not only did CU's DL suck four out of five years under Jeffcoat, the article points out how many high school recruits Jeffcoat started for the Buffs and it's not even at 10 total starts. Recruiting and player development hasn't been that good under Jeffcoat. Any decent coach knows he'd get fired with that kind of performance.
This had to happen
Good people losing their jobs is no fun, but time seemed to be up
MM follows the Bill Parcells take it slow approach that applies to the NFL? Not college!
There are a hell of a lot more teams in college, most with more money than we do, and thus MM has to pull out a magical hire, rather than be more upfront, more aggressive, and more out in front of the pack. I strongly feel that MM has 1-2 years at most to remain here. If only 2 of your original coaches are still here, then the line of origination is not that far from the source. He also needs to be so much more outspoken and confident in what he wants to do, instead of being so sneaky quiet about two of the most important hires that he needs to make. These two hires could make a major difference!

Yup he seems like a good guy and I wish him well but no need to pretend like he is leaving because there was overwhelming demand for his services among the top schools.
It will be interesting to see where he surfaces.
I hope the replacement is somebody who is an effective recruiter. On-field coaching is important but looking at the group of guys both schools had on the DL Monday night I'm thinking more than a few guys on this board could coach those groups to be at least if not more effective than our DL was this last season. Talent matters

Doesn't CSU have a vacancy there? Kidding. Joe Salave'a is pursuing other opportunities isn't he? Heard he might wind up in Tucson if Rick Neuheisel takes that job.
It's like it took Howell pointing out the obvious to really open up your eyes on the job Jeffcoat was doing.
Salave'a just extended his contract, only way he leaves is for a promotion at his alma mater.
Salave'a is an Arizona alum. I'd hire him as head coach before I hired Slick. Hed maybe leave Oregon for UA.
I believe his contract says he can leave for any dc job if it involves play calling duties or he can go to Arizona.

Best wishes to Jeffcoat in his future endeavors.
I appreciate his contributions to The Rise and thank him for his efforts to develop young men during his tenure with the Colorado Buffaloes.
