How about Mike Heimerdinger of the Tennessee Titans. Offensive coordinator. Has family in Colorado and former ties to the community.
I like McElwain. If Butch Davis gets canned at North Carolina, I'd look at him. He can coach and recruit. Watch his staff closely though.
Mike Leach commenting on the Minnesota job."I haven't really given it much thought because it surprised me that they fired Brewster but, you know, I mean it's a good program," Leach said on his Sirius XM radio show. "It's in the Big Ten. And, you know, right now I'm in a position where I'm willing to listen to anybody."
What's not to like about Leach. Look at his record while he was at Tech. I believe his worst season was 7 wins. Imagine the QB's and WR's he would bring in here. He has some baggage but at least he's a proven guy. Hire any assistant and it's a crap shoot. I don't think we are in a position to take a flier on some guy that's never been a head coach. We have a team of coaches that had no coaching experience in the rolls they are in and we're paying for it. I want Leach.
5-19 vs ranked teams. Won more than 5 conf games twice in 10 yrs. Had TTU been playing CU's schedules they'd have won 6-7 games a year instead of their usual 7-8. He's not all bad - could probably keep us out of the conference basement - more than I can say for Hawkins. If 6-7 wins and a low-level bowl every year is what Bohn is after, Leach is the guy. He's just not someone who would ever have the Buffs competing for PAC championships. I think CU can do way better. jmo
I really want to see some BCS level D-coordinators in for the job.
my favorites:
Dave Doeren - DC Wisconsin
Kirby Smart - DC Alabama
I'm not sure if he would be remotely interested in the job. Probably not, but there are a lot of folks out there who bring him up.
Maybe he should be dropped off the list? What do you guys think?
I see your point, but imagine the talent that he could pull into a program like ours. I give Mike a ton of credit for being able to recruit to a ****hole like Lubbock. I think he'd do a much better job talking kids into spending the next 4-5 years of their lives in Boulder as opposed to Lubbock.

Too much to ask for ONE current DC on the leader board?
Brent Venables would have been that guy last year. Seems strange that I don't see him mentioned these days. Last I checked, Oklahoma is having a decent season.

Smart is in line for the UGA job.Another excellent candidate not on the leaderboard. Kirby Smart is a guy I think we absolutely could have gotten if we'd started talking to him about November last year.
Anybody know where we can find buyout $$$ for all these guys?

Leach has been out of coaching for a few months.... I think he forgot how.... :smile2:
