The idea wasn't that he should have told CP what to do, or threatened to veto hires. It was that RG and CP could have had some heart to hearts. They like and respect each other.
Gary Barnett is 79 years old and hasn't coached in 20 years. Why does this fanbase continue to look at these type of former Buffs to help fix the program?
I'm not asking him to run stairs with the team and not advocating for him to come back even part time. CP could atleast listen to him. He was here when we were winners and on the staff when we won it all. Might want to include that, while trying g to learn to coach at this level at a place like Colorado.
Everything from player retention, to coach management, to scheme is entirely different from when Barnett was here.
Are you sure. I think it was the guy sitting behind me who kept screaming, “that play sucked!” Dude was right most of the time.
Thanks man I appreciate the vote of confidence
Barnett understands core College Football running schemes, period! Everywhere he has been when involved as the OC or coach, they could run the ball. Gurode is on staff and likely looks at Shurmur’s offense like WTF. 62-36, run the freaking ball correctly to set up either Salter or Juju.
Hey, lay off, at least if we hired gary barnett as OC we wouldn't see so many bubble screens.This thread continues to devolve further and further.
Who the **** is Nick Sabin?
And it will until you tell us that Bartolone is the interim OC, Salter is the QB, and that we’re going to run the ball 50+ times this week.This thread continues to devolve further and further.
Yeah and Barnes and Noble used to be a big thing but they ain't anymore. There are tons of bright bright minds in football that aren't damn near 80 years old and haven't been out of the game for 20 years now.
Coaches always seem much smarter from the broadcast booth than they ever did on the sideline. I remember GB getting a ton of criticism for his staff decisions and his stubborn loyalty to them. I remember a lot of criticism for his offense being pedestrian and antiquated in early 2000s. Not that he wasn't an excellent coach who knows his sh!t, but a feature of nostalgia is rose colored glasses.
I didn't know he was that old actually.
Time to start the pun parade!
I bet that article got a lot of clicks
Saban, Belichick, Urban and Bear Bryant.
I could actually see UCLA making a run at him. I feel like they are similar to CU in that they kind of need to hype and excitement and an excellent recruiter.
Living around LA, that is the first thing I thought about when Foster got the hook. CP would thrive in Westwood. He would have his own local TV shows, would draw a lot of local talent away from USC and their budget is enormous. CU would get a big payout. It would be a good outcome of the situation, without a negative spin on CU, meaning a talented coach could be brought in easily now that their is a NIL program in place. Just need a talented coach
I wonder if he’d develop health problems there too.
