Wilcox has coached in the Cheez-It Bowl? Sign me up!

 

[Redhater]

Better than Bielema but why would he come to boulder??

I think it is kind of a longshot...but a longshot I like a whole bunch. My guess is Sark is the most likely candidate.

 

[Uncle Ken]

I'd love to get Wilcox to Boulder.

Wilcox would have to take a pay cut or make a lateral move. He’s already established there. Doesn’t even have interest at this point. I’m confident he won’t be the guy here. Good idea but not feasible really

He wouldn’t take a pay cut and I assume you have no actual idea what he does and doesn’t have interest in.

 

[Redhater]

I can read and I have read articles sayin he has no interest at this point

 

[Redhater]

He makes more than Mel Tucker did last year

 

[Uncle Ken]

I can read and I have read articles sayin he has no interest at this point

Was it a tweet that said how committed he is to his current school?

 

[Gary Indiana]

I can read and I have read articles sayin he has no interest at this point

Can you post them?

 

[DrunkRalphie]

He makes more than Mel Tucker did last year

And less than MacIntyre made in 2018.

What’s your point?

Hed get the same offer RG was prepared to pitch to Melvin and his peeps had he got a chance to should be the assumption. Based on what Ive read-that figure was in the neighborhood of $4m.

Football scoop update at colorado

 

[Redhater]

Well I’d take home let’s bring him here then if we can put up the money

 

[Bread]

So did Mike MacIntyre. Guys with experience typically make more money? We paid MM more than what Wilcox is making now, so my guess is we can probably do that again here since Wilcox has experience and proven he can do well.

 

[Redhater]

Well I’ll hope for him. The other candidates other than chev and sark I don’t think I’d be to happy with

 

[2001Grad]

Ftucker was a first time HC so his salary reflected that. Remember also that ADRG was willing to counter meaning there was more money available.

Bettering his salary won't be an issue.

What is Wilcox buyout? If this were too happen, CU has found some booster money to help with the buyouts and assistant salaries. Would be a big time pickup, IMO.

 

[SINKRATZ]

I think all the Wilcox talk is probably the longest of long shots, but could CU somehow find a way to offer him $4M per which I think would put him only behind Shaw in conference? It would be the savviest coaching coup I can think of and probably the only move that leaves us better off than we were a month ago. And to get him for less than MSU paid for Tucker would be the icing.

A move like that would move RG into legend category and would position him to take the Pac12 commissioner job from Scott. Profit!!

I'm thinking Cal may not vote for him under your scenario.

 

[Buffnik]

Wilcox is an excellent coach I wish was at CU already. I think he'd be great here if he wants a change of scenery within the Pac-12.

 

[SINKRATZ]

he already is.

Not if he hires Bielema.

11-1 is fine with me, f**k Cal they’ll get paid back by RG when he fixes the conference revenue problem.

You mean not having to look out the window
up at Ducks and Huskies?
