Official Colorado vs Minnesota game Thread

[Jayne Cobb]

Last time I remember an offense performance this bad was a USC game at Folsom when Gary Barnett was coaching. During his after-game interview on radio he said “I apologize to the entire state of Colorado.” Zero chance HCKD does thatz

 

[Buffnik]

Rick George was in a bad spot when Tucker left for Mich. State after national signing day. Not a ton of options for coaches at that point. Then you add a global pandemic on top of that. This offseason is key for the program's future.

Pandemic was great for CU. KD being a stable adult got us through a weird season successfully, it opened up the transfer market with immediate eligibility to play, and got us through a contract year for certain coaches.

I think we'll see 1 more year from KD. He'll make changes with offensive staff this offseason like he did with defensive last year. If it doesn't work, KD will be gone after 3 years.

 

[Kenneth]

If it wasn’t our offense I’d say down 13 points the game is still winnable. Somehow need defense to pitch a 2nd half shutout. Get a defensive touchdown, special teams touchdown

 

[Robert Sorell]

Imagine this team without Landman

 

[buff4bcs1985]

I don’t even want to watch anymore. I have no words for what I’m watching

I'm at this game and I dont want to be anymore

 

[Jens1893]

Looking forward to all this getting blamed on the Shrout injury and them bringing all coaches back next year.

 

[CUAviator]

Any questions about whether we have a horrible staff are answered. It is now how long we let this continue before they are canned. This is as good as it gets because talent is declining. We are going to depths we went to after Barnet was let go.

We were in pretty severe decline at the end of Barnett’s tenure

 

[buffs233]

Glad we ran noyer off.

Hey - self proclaimed experts like Duff Man were concerned we would not run Noyer off. Nice call.

 

[CUinSeattle]

Kind of sad when Allioti says on the halftime show that the offense is really predictable.

Suspect they should offer two plays, and whatever Chiv suggests, do the opposite.

 

[FM-Buff]

Finally. Haven’t been all game, but whatever. I’m fine with Carter, but it doesn’t matter unless our receivers start trying.

Blaming the receivers is an interesting take.

 

[hawg1]

Good grief

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

Sorry but this is a poor excuse. Kansas got rid of Les Miles in April and still managed a better hire than ****ty KD.

We can talk all we want about what happened in the past - the question is, what does CU do going forward? CU could have hired a lot of people - they didn't. CU could have fired Chev in the offseason - they didn't. Nobody is going to get fired after the 3rd game of the season.

The question is - where do they go from here? The upcoming offseason is going to be critical for the future. Either they make moves to try and turn this thing around, or they spend a whole lot of money for a whole lot of losses.

 

[Big Iron Buff]

We fire KD in year two after being Pac12 coach of the year, our AD would have zero credibility talking to any coaching candidate in the country. Who would take the job? Seriously? RG would be talking to high school coaches

One - it's not going to happen, so it doesn't matter.

Two - College coaches know that was the softest PAC 12 coach of the year in the softest college football season ever. Along with the fact that our schedule that we did play was Charmin soft.

There would be just as much interest as any other year. Big money. Power 5.

I don’t know. You tell me. You’re the one who brought up the past and how RG was in a tough spot.

 

[buffs233]

We need to can KD and blow it up. Offensive head coach with a horrible offense. No recruiting momentum to lean on. Rip off the bandaid and try again.

Agreed - problem is Rick George badly needs needs to go, too. Incredibly, he has made the football program even worse.

 

[CUAviator]

Honestly not sure which coach is the bigger problem, Chev or Rod.

They both clearly need to be gone this offseason, but you can probably only fire one of them tonight.

Chiv. Definitely

 

[96BUFFS5504]

Our punter is looking pretty good!

Trying to say something positive about this **** show.

Only trailing by 13?

 

[skibum]

Hey - self proclaimed experts like Duff Man were concerned we would not run him off. Nice call.

Find the posts where he said that.

Oh, wait...

 

[SeanMSan]

Blaming the receivers is an interesting take.

Lewis might get a better vision if he wasn’t being snow-blinded by all the white shirts coming down on him. If the line would just pop the defenders twice and drop. Might slow them down better. Rod is not a D-1 P5 line coach.

 

[Creebuzz]

Hey - self proclaimed experts like Duff Man were concerned we would not run him off. Nice call.

Noyer is really running third string at Oregon State now, FWIW.

 

[DBT]

Got ‘em right where we want ‘em!

 

[skibum]

Nobody is going to get fired after the 3rd game of the season.

Why is it that other schools can fire coaches after two games, but CU can't after 3?

 

[manhattanbuff]

Glad we ran noyer off.

You mean the guy riding the pine in Corvalis?

 

[Liver]

Money money money

 

[MtnBuff]

One thing about Dorrell having been a head coach before, I’m convinced he will make off-season changes on the offensive staff. There will be no reluctance.

No, and double no.

Dorrell hired this bunch to start with (other than Chiv and Hagan.) A lot of them are his buddies.

Also Dorrell was a head coach before and got fired because he and his staff didn't recruit. Did he learn from it an make changes this time around? No, arguably his recruiting (both effort and results) are worse.

If you are waiting for Dorrell to fix this mess it isn't happening.

You say that - but look at all the options last year. CU wound up hiring a NFL wide receiver coach nobody else was even looking at - and are paying him more than they've ever paid any coach in CU history.

 

[nolabuff]

Is this offensive staff capable of making adjustment? I mean probably have to pull Lewis, but this is only a 13 point game

 

[skibum]

Money money money

Yep, Navy's AD is drowning in it.

KD is going to have to hold someone on the offense responsible or he's going to lose the defense.

Yeah, we're at that point. At least one head needs to roll, even if they aren't replaced until the offseason.

 

[Johnny Juzang]

Arias is wearing all of the numbers.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Man, you know things are bad when the “I told you so’s” start in regards to Sam Noyer
