Barney was an Xs and Os guy, but needed the solid staff behind him to get the good recruits. What he did to Pinkel's Mizzou every year was outstanding. Barring 30-3 and 70-3 though, the North was so weak we didn't deserve to be "North champs" most of the year.
After he left we got drubbed every year by Mizzou.

After the Ochs and Houston debacles, GB convinced himself he did not need the headaches and he could win with lesser talent. He was a great coach who became myopic and ruined a good thing (the recruiting scandal did not help and became a great excuse).
i have to say this.
compare GB's team pre "recruting scandal" and post. compare what he brought in before the restrictions vs after.
GB was a damn good coach. you dont take NW to the rose bowl by being a bad coach.
his fate was sealed when those self imposed recruiting restricions took place.
he was in a no win situation. period.
now, dont make me out for some GB knob slobber. he had his faults. as mentioned above, he was loyal to a fault. that DC of his was just gawd awful. that is just the tip of it.
but, i will tell you right here and now. the reason GB lost his job at CU was because of the restricions CU had on him for recruiting. he just could not bring in any top talent regardless of how he felt about recruiting. the restrictions were beyond absurd. it was a lost cause from the day those sanctions were imposed.
and all because he told the truth.
amazing.
