When the tweeting about the HC position started he should have been let go. Period. End of story. Never should have retained a spot on the staff let alone been given a chance to be an interim.

Why would I even come here if I could wait and go somewhere like KU and not have budgetary challenges? Unless were hiring the Boulder High School coach where were acting on the cheap right up front. Any coach worth having probably stays put and waits for a better opportunity. Not having the pool for good staff is one hinderance that likely makes coaches avoid CU. Not being able to get player admitted is another. Rinse repeat, almost 20 years now.
Suggestions like this are why we can’t have nice things.
I would take GB's knowledge, for an interim solution over anyone currently on staff. That's assuming RG were to keep the interim search local. He's more likely to make the team competitive than any current coach on staff and he would not cry and pout on social media if he wasn't retained, he would be a good torchkeeper
CU keeps getting in trouble because they can’t stop living in the past. For God’s sake, look at the ridiculous leash RG has gotten because he was part of Mac’s staff.
No former Buffs. Go national. Get out of the family.
Of course it’s a moot point because our former Buff AD hired a former Buff head coach who has a ****ty offense because of a Forever Buff and we’re stuck with all of them for at least one more season after this.
Buff Fans "But what if someone hires our interim coach away from us?"
Don't forget that the former Buff assoc AD for football was all over this process, too.
criteria for the next HC: have absolutely no connection to CU
I read a national writer diagnosing USC's long failure. One of the primary causes they identified was the insistence on hiring guys with USC ties.
Even a place with all the advantages fails regularly when they insist on only hiring guys with prior ties to the school.
The mistake is even bigger when it's made at a place without those advantages.
Side note: they also advanced the notion that a good USC is not only important for the pac12, but for all of college football. Without an elite program on the west coast, the risk of becoming a regional sport is strong.

Agree. Even Alabama was mediocre for a long time when a HC job requirement was that the guy had to have been from Bear's tree.

I wouldn't advocate for a long term contract, but I listen to most of the Buff games and Barnett still knows football. He could keep the team stable while a real search is done. Of course, if RG is doing that search, it doesn't matter anyway if Boy George is the interim coach.
This^
The tweeting and posturing was jaw-droppingly immature.
Or the Buffs had a similar year to the one they had, went to the Alamo Bowl and Chev gets signed to a several year deal. All kinds of scenarios could’ve played out. They needed a guy who was ready to retire and willing to do a one year gig.

It makes me angry you even thought to put the words Dorrell, Chev and sexy in the same sentence.
If only HCKD or Chev refused the vaccine . . .

I think there's a way to meet in the middle here-I didn't want him as an interim, but had no problem giving him another chance to be a playcaller. He's failed at that. Time to move on.
Bump.
Gotta keep the heat on even if the chance is remote.

They are emptying the bench and playing everyone. I’m pretty sure the idea of doing this is to get as many guys live game reps as possible for quicker development. It’s also a sign that Dorrell has likely been assured he isn’t going anywhere for a while.
Cal -7 never in doubt
They managed to go backwards and are at 96

This may sound a bit harsh but, maybe it's time for CU to move to the Big 12 since Texas and Oklahoma are leaving or the Mountain West. We are a complete embarrassment on the football field! Lewis has absolutely zero pocket awareness and locks on to one receiver. Chev is a good receiver coach and that's it, he needs to be demoted or let go.
If recruiting were going in the right direction, this season would be an easy one to leave in the rearview mirror.
The coaching sucks.

From UCLA Reporter. They tried to tell us.
**** Rick George and **** Lance Carl
Wait a minute. Didn’t Lance recently jump in to help on the recruiting side of the house? He is working to turn that around….oops, that is a ****ing pathetic train wreck as well.
