Gross. If CU is truly sick of going 5-7 every year than Koetter would NOT be the guy to get over that hurdle

We should be prepared for whoever shows up to have a pretty questionable set of assistants, we should also be prepared for Tucker to try and raid more guys as a backup plan.
You are likely going to see a bunch of: retired retreads, current CU guys, dudes out of left field, and staff from that coaches current school.
Judging any coach on this year's assistants (as some of us did to mel) would be a mistake given the timing.
I’m not suggesting him, it was a joke, step back from the ledge.

I highly doubt it.
If we wind up with Calhoun I'd expect one of those guys to be promoted - further complicating the assistants thing.
I'm gonna disagree here. A guy like Sark (or Mel, we thought) should be able to pull some assistants from other schools that are not on the scrap heap.
IF we are in a normal time of year for hiring I'd agree but we aren't and that is going to change the narrative/effectiveness/results of any assistant search - just like its messing up the coaching search.
Well then you can't say we should have gone easy on Mel since he got hired at a normal time last year.
I thought his assistant coaches were underwhelming at best, if I said otherwise at the time it was because I was sick of people always griping.
I'm talking about this in your post: "Judging any coach on this year's assistants (as some of us did to mel) would be a mistake given the timing. "
Did you mean his hires THIS year? or Last year?
I trust RG! And I will continue to do so if Sark is announced as our new head coach in the next 24 hours.
Oh I meant it would be unfair and potentially a mistake to judge the new head coach on whomever the new coach hires as assistants this Feb/March.

Id think we'll see most, if not all of the guys who are still here stay through the fall.
Yea, that makes sense, the Mel () threw me off. I'd still expect Sark to potentially surprise us at a spot or two. His rolodex is deep.
Air Force's Troy Calhoun: Soaring Standards, No Excuses
Despite having an under-sized team physically, elite-level academic standards and players with a full schedule of daily military duties on their plates, Troy Calhoun, U.S. Air Force Academy head coach, still has his Falcons flying high.

Love a coach that’s willing and able to adjust his scheme fit the talent.
Be open minded. There are positives here if he’s the choice.

None concerning recruiting, unfortunately.

I wouldn’t expect Sarkisian to hire a lot of coaches. He has only to replace the DL, oh well and offensive coordinator as a priority. Everybody else he could wait and see how they do this year and less he knows he has people he really likes that are willing to come right now.
Unfortunately, media members in Colorado don't have the slightest clue how college football works in 2020 and it leads them to believe that traits like "good guy", "loyal", "integrity", "disciplined", "high football IQ", are what is needed to win.

Woody is a moron.
Extra points if they're buddies with them because they've worked in the state for ages.
But if they hire Sark it was time well spent?
You guys never, ever, ever, ever, never take the time to figure out what the sports media people are all about. They do not care if CU wins or loses. The best thing for the media is controversy. They stir the pot to generate viewership/readership and such. Most assuredly they don't even believe what they publicly promote because the best thing for them is chaos. This is not an indictment of sports media people, just insight.
So we might get-
The offensive coordinator at Alabama who previously coached USC and UW, who likely (hopefully?) has the ability to bring in a competitive, recruiting focused staff,
OR
The option running AFA coach who is largely an Academy lifer?
Sark, or Calhoun...
The dichotomy of that is insane.
