It's widely known that RG and Lance Carl set up Chev to come talk to Mac with them saying he'd be RC and need a promotion to co-OC to make the move back. It's fact. Follow along.

I agree with you on that.
Eliot will be back as DC. The article basically said that. RG took into consideration the loss of the # of starters and other considerations. I think BL will be leaving to pursue other opportunities and JJ and (possibly GB) will be retiring from coaching (could have other roles on staff).

Wouldn't be surprised if we saw a co-DC set up though with him and Els or him and a new guy.
My understanding was LC recommended DC to MM and MM made the decision to hire based on the interview. Not sure how much RG was involved with that part. People always act like the AD is making the personnel decisions, but like any good company, support staff (LC) make recommendations to hiring managers on candidates that they know would be a good fit. Upper level bosses make it happen when hiring manager wants someone (salary/budget issues). I would be worried if MM had to do all the searching and vetting on his own and equally worried if he was having people forced on him.

Relax guys, nienas is coming back....you heard it here first
It wouldn't be with Els as he is already on staff, maybe a new guy if required to get them to come here, either way Eliot will still be making the calls.
TE coach should be a recruiting monster, especially considering Bounds caught a total of 7 passes this year in a breakout season. Maybe that's on Lindgren for not emphasizing the TE position, but I don't see what Bernardi brings to the table at all. Mind you the OL was ****ing awful this year, so maybe his input is not needed in that area.
I'm semi curious who the players think should be rolled out, but I'm also keeping in mind they probably aren't the best judge for who should stay and who should go.
Maybe I shouldn’t listen to players as much when it comes to coaching changes. Everything you said was correct.
It's not that they don't have a unique perspective, but the coaches are their guys (hopefully at least). I have trouble recalling many times a HC was fired that the players were excited about it. Even Embree was embraced by the players if memory serves.
Either way, not going to let go of my Bernardi hate just yet. He has yet to coach a position group that was a net positive in his time at CU. OL was awful until he got demoted. TE has been a serious afterthought both years he has overseen it. At least Jeffcoat had last year where his DL was solid. Neither one seems motivated to bother recruiting more than a handful of months out of the year, so they need to go IMO. That **** just don't cut it at a P5 program where recruiting needs to be a 12 month a year adventure.

Hawkins and Embree coming back and will be co-head coaches with Macintyre. Bernardi promoted to co-offensive coordinator along with Bieniemy. Jeffcoat promoted to defensive coordinator (but will keep his job as head of El Paso recruiting). Neinas back as special teams coordinator. Joe Tumpkin will serve in a newly created "life coach" position. And Food Cart will in fact have a job working in the team cafeteria.

Kind of trolling, kind of not. Wouldn’t it be wild...

I heard Leavitt’s wife was offered a job at a Boulder bank.
I agree that the TE coach should be a recruiting monster. I don't hate Bernardi as the TE coach, I have read that he is well liked by the players. I just think we need to improve recruiting and it seems bringing in a dynamic recruiter at the TE spot would be a better option.
Would you rather be the top expert in your field, or get mad cow disease?
It is one of the keep pieces that needs to be moved, so pretty happy myself. Bernardi and Jeffcoat next, surely
You made a wise choice my friend. I was worried you’d pick mad cow.
I also dislike Eliot, but he is on a multi year w a buyout. He isn't going anywhere

Bernardi and Adams would be fine.....lets go rescue Doug Meacham from KU. I think he and Chev would mesh really well.
Problem here is, I think Chev will want out if he doesn't get the OC job.. I REALLY don't want to give him the OC job (Read: Not much better, if at all better, with him at Co-OC than we were before he came) but I also REALLY don't want to lose out on his recruiting emphasis. I think if I personally had to choose, I'd say get a proven OC and hope Chev stays. You can find good recruiters with more ease than proven Coordinators. But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong and it's more beneficial to keep the recruiter and hope he isn't as bad of an OC as I think he might be..
Amen, brother. Please consider somebody competent with fresh ideas as an AC.

My only problem with giving him the sole OC job is losing what he does for us as a recruiter. I think we'd go to more of air raid type of look with him at OC, and I don't think that would be a bad thing, honestly.
