Not specific enough. That only elliminates Charlie and Mark Mangino.
Don't forget Ralph Friedgen.
(apparently last seen being tossed out of a Shoney's after going through the buffet line one too many times).

Same here! I guess that Tressel was cheating(IMO its the archaic policies of the NCAA), and I'd hire him in a heartbeat. I hate Petrino as a person, but the state of our program is sad enough that I would take him to coach our team. I suspect Spurrier is a drunk along with Saban, Mack Brown, Lane Kiffin, and a few others but they seem to do okay. I just want a proven winner. That's all. Not a coordinator or another Pigeon from a small school. A tried and true winner...here's looking at you Belotti. We should make him our coach and AD(I know it's not gonna happen)...

Spot on...agree
I, in fact, demand drunks and cheats.

Hey....I have two of the three qualifications covered...a drunk and a cheat. Too bad I have never won football games.
Absolutely. I would give Ralphie's left nut to get Tressel.

do you have access to Ralphie's nuts? Yikes.....
This might prove a more difficult task than you are thinking...
Hire a coach with even an ounce of controversy surrounding him? Blasphemous!
Tressel's got the show cause penalty on top of the first 5 games suspended. If he violates even a minor recruiting rule the NCAA could hammer us. He's a good coach in Ohio, I don't think he's worth any of that risk. Plus, it's yet to be proven that he can recruit without cheating. He wasn't clean at Youngstown either.
Hire Petrino and you better have a very solid succession plan in place cause he ain't staying around and he leaves anarchy in his wake.
I'm all for taking risks but those two jokers could do more harm than good imo.

Btw....we all wanted Barnett to die. That B12 championship was even more embarrassing than this season....well, maybe not.
Disagree. I wasn't calling for Barnett's head at that time. Yeah, that game sucked a lot, and I felt like changes needed to be made on the staff, but I liked his honesty.

My mindset at the time was to return us to 2001 (or 1990). Incredibly short-sighted in hindsight.
I guess my cleverness was lost on you guys...or it wasn't that clever.
Of course, I can't blame you for thinking that way at the time.
I felt bad for Barnett. He was a good football coach and a pretty decent guy who wasn't a very good PR man. That bitch DA decided to go after him and the administration hung him out to dry instead of showing some backbone and supporting him and the kids. Once that all went down he saw the writing on the wall and began to settle for what he could get instead of working to win.
I don't expect or want a PR guy, I want a football coach who can win. Unfortunately in Boulder you have to have a guy who can handle a certain amount of scrutiny that doesn't exist in a lot of other places where they care about their football enough to tell the gripers to sit down and shut up.

Eh, I'm not sure that not allowing players to get free **** from boosters and actually expecting them to attend class are really bad policies for college athletics....

Neither Hawk or Embree were unemployed, if I recall correctly.

Not really, for a coach that turned around a perennial loser in a BCS conference I'd say he got what the market was paying in 1999.
GB had his issues, he was way to loyal to bad coaches and had serious communications skills, he ran off Craig Ochs with his dumb comments.

Maybe "real big money" was overstating it. But $1.6 million in 2003-2005 when the **** hit the fan, that was a very competitive salary at the time.
