already better then pepsi
Eliot deserves that I suppose but I'm guessing Mac had something to do with the D as well.
It's tough to do a good job in a series of 2 minute spurts.
Disagree. It's balanced by the number of long naps to stay refreshed. Got to wonder if they properly hydrated before taking on the assignment.
Pretty underwhelming hire, iyam.
Also, there's one common denominator in this equation....
You're right, Jeffcoat is the real mastermind.
Just the best DL coach in the nation! Can't recruit for ****, but can sure coach em up!
Howard = one of the traditionally black colleges. Located in DC. Mascot = Bison (chosen in honor of the Buffalo soldiers). Colors = black and gold. They're an easy local FCS team for a CU alum in the DC area to cheer for.
I've often thought that if Ralphie were to ever make a run for a CU -Navy or MD game, that they should try and coordinate and have her run at a Howard home game that same weekend. I know, not going to happen for a lot of reasons...
The UNLV loss should really be a warning to anybody who thinks hiring a High School head coach to run a D-1 program is a good idea. This guy coached Bishop Gorman- arguably the most successful high school program in the country. Two years into his UNLV gig and he just gave up the most lopsided upset in college football history.
We now have Tony Sanchez and Gerry Faust as shining examples of why you NEVER hire a HS coach to run a D-1 program. Hire as an assistant? Sure. As the head coach? Only if you have a death wish as an athletic director.

Really good school, too. No reason for CU not to do something with Howard.
If we ever play in the armed forces bowl, there's going to be some low hanging fruit for doing some fun stuff with them.
This post would have made sense about five years ago. In 2017, it basically ignores all context.
So you are saying that Dave Logan isn't our best option as head coach of the University of Colorado.
Actually you are right on point. Can anybody give an example of a HS coach who has successfully made the transition in modern times from HS directly to leading a major program.
The job of a head coach at the college level is much less about football than it is about supervising and motivating people, both players and assistants. Guys like Jimmy Johnson has stated that the football knowledge was probably the least important part of their jobs.
Art Briles but not straight to head coach, believe he was an assistant at Tech a few years. Direct to HC, I don't have one.
Art Briles is a legend in Texas HS football, of course, who only was 4 years removed from HS football when he took over Houston.
In recent memory, Gus Malzahn is another one of the closest in time from HS coach/BCS level HC and certainly one of the more successful. 7 year timeline.

Howard was led by Cam's little brother. He threw for three TDs and rushed for 190 yards.

Cam: "Georgia missed out on another one."
Awesome.
Anybody else get the feeling that Riley is going to wish he had gone anywhere but Nebraska.
The fans and the boosters want to believe this is still the 90's, that Nebraska is a perennial contender for the NC, that they are the dream school for top recruits nationwide.
Instead they are in over their head in the B1G, they have lost much of their appeal to recruits, especially since they no longer regularly play in Texas and Oklahoma where recruits families can see them every year.
Remember when they fired Solich after he won 9 games, they are going to be dreaming of winning 9 games in the future, even with scheduling a couple cupcakes in OOC each year like Arkansas State was supposed to be.
It's funny because it's a simple explanation to any rational fan. It was week 1, against a decent opponent, after losing their #1 CB for most of the year, and they just transitioned to a 3-4 and have several guys who don't fit the new scheme.
But Nebraska fans expect 10 wins and a top 25 defense in year 1 (I'm not exaggerating, this is what they expect). Diaco has a ton of pressure on him to succeed because they paid him good money. The funny thing is, UCONN's board laughed at the Huskers fans complaints: he's known for playing his DBs well off the LOS, doesn't utilize the crazy blitzes he talks about in the spring, "bend but don't break" but breaks quite a bit too, etc. I will enjoy watching them struggle to win 7 this year ^_^

I did. Loved his defenses at Notre Dame and prior.
