How confident are you he'd come if offered oc/coach in waiting? Head coach?
I would be all over him for OC, but not for HC yet. I think he would come if Mac was the HC and he was to be groomed. I can tell you that our recruiting would pick up with him. He was ranked the #1 recruiter in the nation before he went to the Vikings, and his stink there coaching AP would only improve him as a recruiter IMO.
CU would be crazy not to have him as a OC. NVTS NUTS!
I just don't think Scooter's ego would let him take anything less than the top spot. I've heard (RUMOR ALERT!) he wouldn't take a spot under Mac. Eric thinks he's ready for the HC gig. At least here at CU.
There is NO WAY he comes here for less than the HC job. He is the Assistant head coach of an NFL team. Why would he take a demotion?
Uhh, Maybe it's because Mac wants to be a HC again. :lol:How about EB as HC and Mac as his special asst or some role like that?

You don't want Bienemy as the OC because he would be up in the box all game and take his energy off the sideline.
Can someone explain how being a running back coach for one of the best RB in the NFL qualifies him for being a HC in College?
Let's be honest about this. EB was a great player at CU, but what does he have in his resume that says I'm your next head coach. Is Minnesota doing anything on offense that makes you say what a great team? They have one of the top 3 running backs in the NFL and they begged and pleaded for Grandpa Farve to come back another year. Clearly not believing that AP and the other running backs could take over games.
Prior to Josh McDaniels with the Broncos, Denver always was top 5 in the league in rushing. It didn't matter who they had as a RB. Every year they would pump out a 1,000 yard rusher. Now they are dead last is rushing and McDumbass was supposed to be the next hot NFL head coach.
Eric Bienemy has John Blake written all over him, imo.

I understand the sentiment, and all the people wanting someone from the glory days. The people that EB and staff would be recruiting have no clue about anything he did at CU 20 years ago. They were not alive.
The question again, what has EB done that says he is the guy that will turn things around?
There is NO WAY he comes here for less than the HC job. He is the Assistant head coach of an NFL team. Why would he take a demotion?
BTW, i'd like to know how people consider EB, a John Blake clone?
Please list out many reasons, because I don't see it at all.

I don't want EB as Offensive Coordinator. OC's don't do much in-season recruiting and they are in the booth instead of on the sideline (as stated). So the 2 main things that Bieniemy would bring to the Buffs have their effectiveness reduced in that position. Further, the talk of him being an OC under Mac is a disaster waiting to happen, imo. With Mac, we'd be getting a guy who hasn't been involved in football for over 15 years. When he was our coach, he had a defensive background and his CU teams were known for having poor offenses and Mac known for poor gameday decisions. (The major coaching critiques of him.) But somehow people think it would be a good idea to take the much older, less in touch, version of Mac as our top guy... and then have him hire an Offensive Coordinator who has never designed an offense or called a play. If you evaluate this dispassionately and grant that "ties to the program" has been irrelevant as an indicator of success in the coaching profession, I don't see how you can think this is anywhere close to the best CU can do with this hire.
