I like the mark Richt idea. always been a fan of georgia and how they do things
i could be wrong, McCarney could be the answer to our prayers. I doubt it but ok. Like I said, im all ears, wanted to hear more about flyfishing waters up north valdez, i know you from up there. Dont tell anybody but im a native of Colorado. I was born in hippytown USA and if you from Colorado, u probably know where that is. Any of yall flyfish?

:lol:Well then neither is the argument that what he did in Ames would translate to success in Boulder. I agree completely, it's a very lame argument.
:lol:
I'd say it's probably a hell of a lot easier to get top recruits here than in Ames Iowa. You don't think that's true? McCarney did a great job with ISU. I don't think that's a lame argument.
But to say a coach can never be successful here in Boulder if he was a HC prior? :huh:
He missed out on TWO north championships because his kicker couldn't make a field goal. Every team he had in Ames overachieved and frankly, they were better than the Buffs the last few years. If he could do that in Ames, he'd do a leap better in Boulder. Plus he ran a clean and well-respected program.
Richt ain't coming here. Either is Shanahan.... etc. Time to be realistic and I believe that McCarney had a reputation of a no-nonsense ass kicker who's teams were disciplined and hard nosed and certainly over-achieved. I was baffled when they let him go. We could use the Florida ties and his ISU teams were loaded with under-the-radar TX guys. To me, that's the recipe if we change coaches.
I like Richt as well. However he lays an egg once a year despite having superior talent. I guess thats the downside of playing in the SEC. After all they produced a mNC champ that had 2 losses.
I don't see McCarney being able to take this program to where we want it to be. He did a good job at ISU given his resources, but we need a higher profile hire IMO.
If Hawkins is let go after this season, I am hoping Houston parts way with Kubiak and we take a second shot at bringing him up to CU.
I think he would be a great fit and I think he has the right intangibles to be a success at CU.
He had a ton of JUCO recruits at ISU and he is not getting that in Boulder.
McCarney won less than 40% of his games at ISU, go check his road record...
Dan McCarney would be okay on staff but not as HC IMO.
But he was at ISU. It's hard to envision ISU ever exceeding .500, and he had them close to that for almost a decade. He was there so long they just forgot how ****ty they were when they let him go, it will be a long time before they consistently do that well again.
He's a hard-nosed coach, which I like, and he knows how to run the football. I wouldn't be unhappy with that hire.
Yep. I would also add he would make DL recruiting a major priority for a change.
I didn't realize that. :huh:He had a ton of JUCO recruits at ISU and he is not getting that in Boulder.
Here's a question, I really didn't follow ISU at all.. ever, it looks like he rarely did any better than .500 in the Big-12. So, my question is, how many of his wins were over Northsoutheast Iowa State?
