CU needs coaches that can recruit, teach and motivate. I don’t care if they bleed red.

......marking you down as a firm No on Dave Logan. All righty then.
No. More support staff now.

It was Hagan and Hankton helped a bunch.
No ****, I remember watching him against Denver growing up. Time goes by fast.

He’s a grad assistant who is from Louisiana and connected with Clayton.
Another GA moves on to a new position. Always a positive when your program can develop young coaches that move up the ladder.
He reportedly kept Cymone George. That’s a good start. The new approach to attitude, staffing and operations started by MT needs to be amplified.
Because it’s not a qualification and can cloud people’s judgement.
Thank you for your application as my PR representative, I regret having to inform you that I’m currently not hiring for said role and will continue to do the tasks typically associated with the role myself.

Some of the questions I ask when hiring buffs-
Are they the most qualified?
Will their performance be fairly evaluated?
Will hiring or, worse, firing, decisions be made with politics in mind?
Are we gatekeeping our coaches and thus limiting our potential pool?
What are their career aspirations?
A staff with one or two former buffs makes those questions largely irrelevant. When an entire side of the ball is coached by them though, an alarm is going off for me. I was excited about TC, but give me anyone without a CU connection for those last two offensive spots now.

5* will be our backups, I hear the recruiting services are adopting a 6* rating for the best players that sign with Colorado.
Because we've had 1 winning season in about 20 years.
If we want winners, we need to look outside our history.
****. It hurts to say that, but it's been a really, really long time since we've been a consistent winner.

WTF?
Oh, like the Hawkins, MacIntyre and Tuckers eras.
Big worry is that we've tried everything after Karl. If he don't work it's looking like nothing will
FIFY.
I know that middle one is a sore point for you - I understand. But you can't pretend like it didn't happen.
So far it sounds like KD has hired 2 assistants from outside.
A son of a former head coach
A grandson of a former head coach

It should shock no one that Dorrell is making the best of what's available in late February by going after coaches he has connections with or are recommended to him by friends like Bieniemy and Embree, and are very available and willing to listen to a school like CU. That's a pretty limited pool and if you don't like that that overlap exists, blame RG/LC. If you don't realize it now, they clearly think ties to CU are important.

WTF?
You pin one bad era out of four and proclaim it to be the downfall of 20 years and therefore athe reason to not hire anyone that ever had a connection to CU.
There is no logic in your thoughts. There is some pattern recognition but you are not also recognizing that 2011 and 2020 are set up different, very different.
This lack of pool due to timing theory is unsupported. Assistants are very willing to listen to offers of career advancement at this time. Why wouldn't they be?

If this is true, Tucker should have no problem filling a all star team. Seems like it's not the case though, no?
Would make sense that the person responsible for the biggest special teams play in CU history would have a grasp on special teams play.
At least I hope so.

When have we hired a coach that didn't fall under those limitations I listed? Very available (often meaning unemployed and those are quite often our best hires) being the key factor and there's not a whole lot available right now (i.e. timing). The coaching carousel came and went, assistants were let go and hired elsewhere, the pool is objectively significantly smaller in terms of guys looking for jobs. Of course the timing makes it massively more limiting, stealing guys away from other jobs has rarely been our thing and it's certainly more difficult now even if not impossible, we capitalize best on the chaos of the carousel to land guys like Kapilovic/Leavitt and now there is none. You really think MSU and CU's coaching searches don't go differently during a normal timeline? And some guys do have respect for things outside of the mighty dollar, we're not out here offering much 'career advancement' otherwise as far as I've seen and jumping ship in March is a lot different from December.
