Not sure why anyone thinks a decent OC would come here nor why anyone thinks KD would have the network to pull someone in. That is almost a lol moment thinking about it if it was not such a sad reality

CU Buffs hire former Minnesota OC Mike Sanford as their new OC

Could be. I’m just throwing it out for discussion, I don’t expect it would happen, but strictly as an OC I probably like him better than Matt Wells if we’re talking recently fired HC’s.
Anyone think langsdorf is less than 50% to take the OC spot v. the field? He's a near lock.
Probably, but until it’s confirmed, I’d much rather dream about better possibilities and ultimately be disappointed

Yeah I pretty much thought the dickhead thing as I pressed the post button. If he doesn’t do the Analyst route in the SEC, he’d probably go back to Chip Kelly. He’s too much of a diva to go coach in a lower level. I’m sure his (future ex-) wife would LOVE to be in LA.
It might be worth a shot if Frost had an axe to grind against kNU, a couple years as an OC, beat the nubs in this next home and home. Then go on to Lala land to be with Chip if that’s what he chooses…
Perhaps Chandler is ready.
I would prefer that KD be the OC, and see him actually working with the team instead of the 20,000 mile stare.
Use the money on recruiting
When he fails, new staff anyway

In a heartbeat.
If you were to evaluate him as strictly an OC his qualifications are very good.
Unless you have a very strong authority as a head coach (a Saban type) I don't see Frost as being close to a team player. Instead I see him as only worrying about advancing his career back into his next head coaching job.
His history in dealing with women from violence towards women and his noted infidelities would also present some ugly questions from the community in Boulder. There are other qualified candidates who don't bring those same unwelcome issues.

Please god, don’t do this to me. I’ve suffered long enough for whatever it is I did in my fandom to deserve the last 15 years. I can’t take it anymore…
Chev has some type of hold on this athletics department that pretty much sums up the entire football program. If and when he gets let go, there will be some major fireworks that should hopefully put even more pressure on the the two yokels in charge of that department.
He once won the Buffalo Heart award and, I believe, drives a Dodge Stratus.
To replace what we have now? 1000 times yes

Liars. If he went 10-1 or 9-2 you’d jack off in the batroom while kissing his picture.

And if I found a magic wand I’d ensure CU won every game it played till the end of time. Neither are going to happen.
This is really aggressive
Read an article recently about why he didn’t work out at Tech. The article argued that a head coach needs to be elite at something (recruiting, organizational management/motivation, or offensive/defensive schemes). Interestingly, the article argued that Wells was not elite at any of these things, to include his offensive schemes. Granted, just one writer’s opinion, and you tend to have a pretty good feel for ball, but curious why you’re as high on him for OC as you seem to be.Matt Wells just jumped to the short list.

He's great working with QBs and his system is very balanced while working well with an athletic QB but being able to accommodate a QB who doesn't run much.
I also think that since it's not gimmicky, it's something that KD would embrace as a way to improve within the comfort zone so I see it as a fit.
My preference would actually be Spavital for system (assuming Texas State fires him as HC). But I don't know if going full Oklahoma State/ West Virginia style offense is something KD would actually do.
I wonder how much HCKD is going to let anyone vary from his slow mo offense. The UCLA folks seemed to think that, along with recruiting, was his downfall there. He was a disaster at Vandy as OC, and I wonder if the O this year is the KD special. If your HC's calling card is offense, and the O consistently sucks, what are you doing?
Having said all that, if CU is going to right the ship, they need a game changer OC. One with the chops to take the reins and run the O. If the OC has to do that to save the HC, again I ask, what are you doing?
I hear you. fwiw, something I didn't mention but is a big driver of my Wells support is that I believe we'd have the guy in place to replace KD in a couple years.
Hiring an OC as a head coach in waiting makes no sense to me given KD’s contract. Hire a good OC and worry about the next HC when we get there.
Wasn't it LC that he had the dirt on?
Given that I'm pretty sure LC is the primary reason we have KD as HC now, getting him out might be a good side benefit of dismissing Chev.

An experienced off-the-radar hire would be Chip Hester. He orchestrated some of the most electric offenses at NCAT and Grambling. He also has Barton playing .500 football in its second year of existence. Not quite a PAC-12 schedule (lol), but his offenses produce.

. This is the Buffs we are talking about. If (and I doubt it) they go outside the current staff it is going to be some guy you thought retired 5 years ago and has been hiding in some analyst role on a mediocre NFL team.
