That's a good question - do we have the money?

this..
I don't know any by name, but I bet there are some Pac 10 assistants that are very good that are ready for a head coaching job.
But again, I prefer EB.

Personally this guy would be a great option if you are looking for an up and comer. If Petrino leaves Arkansas alot of us think this guy will be the one to replace him. He is our best recruiter and an excellent coach, and he understands the old Big 8. He also does a fantastic job recruiting in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Texas. I'd hate to lose him at Arkansas but he would be a great pickup for CU IMO. The only ? would be his ability to recruit in California.

I have no problem going after either of them -- but they appear to be Dan Hawkins redux, IMO. Lots of wins at non-BCS schools.
Patterson generally has a salty defense, which I would very much like to see CU return to.

What's the alternative? One of these coaches will be available at the end of the season - Steve Spurrier, Mark Richt, Les Miles. They all are proven winners, but I don't think CU could afford any of them.

CU can't afford Patterson or Mendenhall (sp) either.
About all CU will be able to afford is an assistant coach, looking to go from $350k per year to $1.2m per year.
Good resume, but he needs to work on its formatting if he wants to be seriously considered for a job.
Hey, it just dawned on moi. That gives credence to the "Mac for 2 to 3 years" rumor. Mac would take over. Get the program on the right foot. We go into the PAC, get the increased revenue and then bring in big time hire. Yeah. Its all getting clear to me now. Except that Hawkins is going to turn it around this year.
Bring it on, asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, if I'm wrong, that is. Which I won't be. :smile2:
I think the value of Mac is not his coaching (I always thought he made questionable game day decisions), it's his ability to hire quality assistants. Yes he's getting up there in age, but if he were brought in to "right the ship" and bring in quality assistants that would be great. Among the young assistants would be Mac's eventual successor, and he would lead the program forward longterm (not Mac). Mac could also be valuable in dealing with the CU administration ("look if you want to win, here's what changes need to be made ...")
