I voted yes, simply because I think it would be a PR watershed.
Umm Pete Carroll anybody? Recruiting would be good, he loves Colorado. Darting off to the NFL would be a concern, but even a short time fix would be huge for this program right now. If Shanny would come for 3 years I would take him in a heartbeat!

I voted no because I want a long term solution and Shanahan is not it, IMO.
I would like to see a coordinator from a top school who can recruit. I believe recruiting ability is an important criteria for the CU job plus someone who has a reputation for motivating players.
What recruits better than an NFL guy with a hand full of Super Bowl rings? You can bet Shanny would have a staff that is fairly knowledgeable of the college game and not just a bunch of NFL guys that have never been to college.
As for him being a long term solution, you can't hire that guy, he doesn't exist. You never know who will be the long term solution until they have been deemed a success.
That really works for Charlie Weiss. Stoops, Mack Brown, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban don't have a bunch of SuperBowl rings but they seem to be able to recruit just fine.

I want what you are smoking. I love CU but it is rediculous to compare us to ND, OU, TU, FU and bama. Charlie Brown would recruit well at those schools.
I can't agree with that... Have you been to any of these campuses? Sure they have a better football program the past few years but we were kicking the crap out of Texas and OU last decade. Beat ND for a national title.

Beat ND for a national title... Have you ever tasted the tap water down in Florida? We get a new coach with a few winning years under his belt and a couple bowl appearances and we are right there.

:yeahthat:
I just can't imagine this guy staying put at CU. It sounds like the current plan is to set up Kyle and move on when his package from Bowlen ends.
Perhaps as I've become older, I have evolved into somewhat of an age-racist. Kyle may be a bright kid, but he is 29 yrs old. I want a coach who grew up on Atari, not X Box.

Read a rumor about Kyle Shanahan as HC with Mike as consultant. Hows that sit with y'all?
Hes gotten help, but the results are good. He's kicking ass in Texas. That offense was **** before he got there.No like. Looking at Kyle's career, it seems that all his jobs have been given to him by his dad's buds, he really didn't come up through the school of hard knocks. It may be unfair, but that's how it looks.
