Get me a guy that gets recruits interested and can recruit Texas. Jeffcoat was a great player but as a coach and recruiter, I have seen very little.

Mike MacIntyre has been around the block a few times. I wonder if he'll go after someone he knows and has worked with in the past.
Can't imagine RG has a lot of ties...been out of CFB for a while now. MM does have many contacts...plus coaching is a pretty small fraternity. I'm guessing he knows some possible candidates and is on the phone with his buddies seeing if they would recommend someone. This is exciting...if we pick the right guy I can see us actually improving next year.

I would guess the influence George would have is in trying to get a bigger splash. He's probably trying to free up money in the budget so they can get the best possible candidate.

Yes...that d did look horrid at Texas, but LA Tech looked good on D. He'd be a risk.
I like Gary Gibbs if he would come...he has coached under some good ones...currently LB coach at KC.

Big money specifically for these hires, or more to leverage this situation into increased donations/salary?
My my gut tells me MM has the connections to bring in someone decent, but might not be able to convince a big name by himself. I guess we will see - hoping the shake-up benefits the Buffs in the recruiting game.
Just goes to show in my mind that the reports of 2 coaches leaving were correct. Baer would not be heading to UNLV from CU without a push. Good sign and the main change I was hoping for.

Interesting. I think this is exactly what we need.

Probably reading into it too much, but MacIntyre started following Kalani Sitake from Utah on Twitter in the last day or two. He'd fit the bill on all accounts. Doubt it happens for a multitude of reasons, but would be nice...
That would be quite the big boy move.
Why? He only makes $500K at Utah and we can afford more than that. He played at BYU so it doesn't seem like he'd have the loyalty to Utah that he would BYU.
That would be an interesting hire. Would get a kind of meh reaction from a lot I think because Utah's defense was kind of meh. Not a dynamic change.
Utah had a excellent defense this year

He was not extended after last season and is allegedly upset by that. He is a very good Poly recruiter. I would love this if it happened. The Kids like him, and he might counter Gary Anderson and the Run he is going to make in Utah, where wwe are making a little head way. That said, BYU and OSU are allegedly coming after him as well.

I heard some chatter about Gary Anderson going hard after him.....I'd be thrilled if we could get him!
statistically not really.
One of their best stats is keeping 9/12 opponents under 30pts. However Utes gave up avg 5.2yds/play 60% completion and 86% redzone scoring. They did limit opponents to 36% on 3rd down conversions which is good.
Tied 72nd in yards allowed
Tied 74 in yards per game
89 in passing yards allowed
54 in rushing yards allowed
58 in points allowed
No doubt an improvement over CU defense this past year, but USU D did much better statistically.
Biggest bonus for getting him would be the recruiting boost as he is said to be good in that area. Would also be nice to poach from a P5 school

Helps to have 2 of the top DE in the NCAA on your line.
Both combined for 29 sacks
Interesting note
Utah #1 in sacks
USU #2
Probably can't. Think USU DC might grab more attention nationally because of the year that D had (top 50 most categories), but UTAH DC would turn a lot of heads in the Pac-12 footprint.

Manny Diaz and Duane Akina are good coaches but they have both been put in position of calling the plays in the Big 12 and it didn't go well either time. CU would have to go big bucks and entice either with a paycheck and a co-DC title while bringing in the other co-DC who would be the primary playcaller. I don't see it working because of that. I'd be nervous about Diaz but he's young and his stints aside from Texas have looked good. He'd be encouraged to bring Oscar Giles with him and I'm all in favor of that. Akina was to DBs in the 00s what Cabral was to LBs in the 90s. Sends em to the League. Hawaii recruiter too. Clancy Pendergast's football experience is extensive in Arizona and California. My choice remains Todd Orlando.
Once the DC is in place, he'll be tasked with finding at least one defensive assistant. Hopefully more. Ron Vanderlinden is down the road at Air Force (placeholder for Mike Bohn joke). Ron knows linebackers. A&M is getting a new DC which could possibly result in either Terry Price or Terry Joseph looking for work elsewhere. Both have experience recruiting Texas and the Southeast. Will Muschamp could request to replace a Malzahn assistant to make room for one of his own guys, and that hypothetical coach would be a late free agent.
