Pretty balanced comments there.

yeah he didn't play the race card and says it was performance based. Let's be honest here, we were not expecting a national championship this year. Embree set the goal for a bowl game himself and he fell embarrassingly short of the goal.

if CU had not lost to Sac St and csu I really think Embree would still be the HC-

Very reasonable.

“I'm disappointed for Jon because I thought he might get another year,” Floyd Keith said. “I would have been pleased if he had gotten another year, but I'm also not blind. I think the thing that did him in was the loss to the FCS team (Sacramento State). What can you say about that?

I was expecting us to get roasted. I suppose some asshat like Jesse Jackson might still make a fuss, but I think everyone who understands football even a little bit knows that this was a performance based termination.
