If anybody votes Sanford they should IMMEDIATELY should be banned from Allbuffs.
My post yesterday didn’t sell u on him?If anybody votes Sanford they should IMMEDIATELY be banned from Allbuffs.
My question for you is that if Tom Herman is truly a legitimate candidate who is actually interested in the job (not just CU being interested in him), wouldn't he be the safest hire? Presumably, if he's interested in the job, the portal issues have been resolved to at least some extent where they are no longer a hinderance, the AC salary pool is reasonable for him to believe he can assemble a quality staff, etc.I think everyone on the list is qualified and I could see any of them doing well at CU.
I voted Bronco because I believe he's better suited to the west and I'd expect results similar but a step up from UVA. I'm playing it safe because I think we need CU to re-establish itself as a quality program and not a career killer job.
My concern is that I also think we need gravity that pulls national attention, invigorates recruiting, and opens wallets. I'm not sure anyone on the list brings that until he wins (not seeing Mel Tucker type charisma and program hype).
I am not convinced that he isn't hated by TX HS coaches. UT can overcome that, but CU would have a lot of problems with players being steered in a different direction. If Herman doesn't bring TX recruiting- and might actually harm it- he's a bad choice.My question for you is that if Tom Herman is truly a legitimate candidate who is actually interested in the job (not just CU being interested in him), wouldn't he be the safest hire?

If that's actually the case, I don't know how he can't be everyone's top choice and considered the safest. Despite what people keep saying, he did not fail at Texas, he actually succeeded in just about every way, except for Texas' outdated and inflated expectations thinking they are a caliber of program that they simply no longer are.
Fair enough and if that's actually the case then I agree.I am not convinced that he isn't hated by TX HS coaches.

Same except with all due respect to Duff, I have Dunn in the No Thanks category - I just don’t get the appeal there aside from being a pretty good WR coach.Tier 1:
Herman
Grimes
Bronco
Tier 2:
Walters
Taylor
Grinch
Dunn
No. Thanks for Playing:
Mora
Fuente
Patterson
Sanford
There were some stories (published I believe) about how Herman acted fairly arrogant when meeting with some of the TX HS coaches and it rubbed some of them the wrong way. I think the entire dynamic of that program within that state stinks, though, so I feel like it all needs to be taken with a grain of salt.I come from a long line of Texans. I don’t know if Herman’s high school recruiting issues are true, but I can definitively say Texans are bat**** and shouldn’t be trusted
The recruiting rumors sound like typical Texan sour grapes
If by "pretty good" you mean "the only guy who can be mentioned with Hartline" then we pretty much agree.Same except with all due respect to Duff, I have Dunn in the No Thanks category - I just don’t get the appeal there aside from being a pretty good WR coach.
Well we’re not considering Hartline either so…If by "pretty good" you mean "the only guy who can be mentioned with Hartline" then we pretty much agree.
I could actually get behind Hartline as the guy. He's like peak Tosh without the NCAA violations and better player development. Just get him an OC to run the Urban/Day offense and we'd be off to the races.Well we’re not considering Hartline either so…
Hartline is way younger and already an elite recruiter. Maybe I have a bias but Dunn has been a P5 assistant for over 20 years, why not a HC yet? Hartline is 35 and may be a HC before Dunn. We’re not looking for a WR coach.
I do wonder how hard it really is to recruit to tOSU right now. I mean, they’ve gone 53-5 since Hartline has been a full time coach there. He may be a great recruiter, but it’s got to be pretty easy there right now.I could actually get behind Hartline as the guy. He's like peak Tosh without the NCAA violations and better player development. Just get him an OC to run the Urban/Day offense and we'd be off to the races.
4 total years of coaching experience and he crushes recruiting WRs to a top 3 program in the countryI could actually get behind Hartline as the guy. He's like peak Tosh without the NCAA violations and better player development. Just get him an OC to run the Urban/Day offense and we'd be off to the races.
