Karl Dorrell officially named Colorado HC

[Da Lama]

If you liked the recruiting under Macintyre, you're going to LOVE this next guy!

That's my biggest fear (and it's a HUGE FEAR) with Calhoun. Service Academy recruiting is hell and gone from normal college recruiting.

At this point of the search I’m thinking that RG should just take the assistant coaches he has left and operate as an anarcho-syndicalist commune. Each AC can take turns to act as sort of executive officer for the week... All the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting in the off season by a simple majority in the case of purely practice matters, but by a two thirds majority in the case of game planning during the season.

This HC search process is no basis for a selecting leadership for a team. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the players, not from some farcical athletic department process.

You don't vote for head coach!

Who will be our option quarterback next year ?

Lewis battles it out with K.D.Nixon. Hagan becomes more important. Lytle transfers to Sacramento State. Chev stays for 2020 then gets JC job at Northern Arizona.

 

[absinthe]

A stable coach who wins some games but lacks the ability to take it to the next level. Sure we’ll be ranked at times but I do t see pac twelve championship material from this hire if it’s true

We've averaged 4.3 wins a year since Barney left what you describe is a MASSIVE improvement.

 

[Redhater]

Um, is this where I point out that Tad won a P12 tourney and currently has his team tied for first with 3 weeks left in the season? Starting to question if you can actually read.

Don’t bring that weak ass “Tad level hire” and then disparage the man. Put some damn respect on his name.

He’s a good coach. He is. He’s a stable coach who wins games. But he’s probably never going to get cu to the final four. Just being honest.

True

And you’re expecting that from FOOTBALL?!? Holy **** man.

 

[Redhater]

True

Just not my dreams for cu

 

[Da Lama]

He’s a good coach. He is. He’s a stable coach who wins games. But he’s probably never going to get cu to the final four. Just being honest.

Cue the head shot montage of the ~290 other D1 coaches who won't get their teams there either.

 

[Redhater]

And you’re expecting that from FOOTBALL?!? Holy **** man.

I’d like to think we can be relevant again. If not why do we even have a football program. Are we now ok with being less than mediocre? Is that what I should expect from now on? I’d like more.

Hoops could make final 4 next year if everyone back.

HC job....

 

[absinthe]

I dream of winning records - once we get those I'll worry about the next steps.

To say we’re not a legit 5 win squad would be disingenuous to returning seniors.

 

[Redhater]

Why not us? So shouldn’t we want more? I guess is all I am saying.

 

[Redhater]

So do I . But these two candidates make me wonder if we’ll be seeing that in the near future.

 

[sandy_buffs]

Out of the names mentioned excluding Wilcox because that's not a real thing, I'll honestly be so disappointed with anyone except Sark. For me its Sark or Bust, Bust being Chev to HC for a year (keep recruits/players happy) then start the search again for 2021 season HC.

 

[absinthe]

So do I . But these two candidates make me wonder if we’ll be seeing that in the near future.

They don't excite me much either, but I do think the focus needs to be first on getting back to winning football. After that, we can worry about Conf. championships and the like.

 

[jizzrag85]

THE airport.

I laughed way to ****ing hard at this.

Someone should tell him there's no transfer portal in the real world.

A+++++ Good one.

Troy Calhoun would be a Mike Bohn-ass hire.

It would give me whatever the opposite of an erection is.

ED?

 

[SINKRATZ]

Their beat writer on twitter said he signed 23 3 star recruits this year. At a service academy, that's pretty good.

Keep in mind it’s a service academy so they sign 40-50 kids every year.

Oooo yea then we can also do equal playtime!!

 

[ahoelsken]

On Calhoun-I trust RG. If he wants to go that way, I'm going to assume he doesn't have any concerns about the recruiting

 

[ahoelsken]

Keep in mind it’s a service academy so they sign 40-50 kids every year.

Fair-but I still trust RG if he decides to go this way.

 

[GoBuffs08]

IMO- a Calhoun hire tells me that CU missed on multiple other people first.

 

[dwyermj]

In what sense(s)?

There would be a"Fire Calhoun" thread that would consistently stay near the top of the board?

 

[241Volcanos]

Fair-but I still trust RG if he decides to go this way.

I trust he won’t go that way.

 

[ahoelsken]

I trust he won’t go that way.

What I heard on 247 makes me think that's the way RG wants to go.

 

[BUFFS14]

What I heard on 247 makes me think that's the way RG wants to go.

So RG wants to go the way, of not going that way?

 

[CUBuff2481]

What I heard on 247 makes me think that's the way RG wants to go.

How would you get TC from what was posted on 247 in the last hour?

 

[Redhater]

I guess I’d rather have Calhoun then Bielema.
