Your top coaching candidates

[Sportsfan101]

AZ thinks it's McCartney, Calhoun or McElwain, with McCartney at a 60% chance.

I'd love to see Bill involved in the program as a consultant or assistant to the head coach, but I need someone to talk me into having a 70 year old head football coach.

Especially one that hasn't even been coaching in like 16 years or whatever it is. I suppose if he can bring back EB and Embree along with some other good coaches, I'll be pretty pumped.

What about Rick Dennison. He is a Colorado guy. Played for CSU and the Broncos. OC experience.

Jim McElwain- this is a name we need to keep an eye on

Oh man. A QB guru? I likes.

Anyone off the Bama tree would be a nice attitude change for our program.

How long has it been since CU has recruited a great QB? Koy Detmer? :smile2:

I wouldnt let him coach special teams.

Outside of Mac (with EB and/or Embree), I don't want guys that are either ex-CU or just have ties to the state of Colorado. That means no Logan, no Calhoun (I really don't get what's special about Calhoun), no Kubiak (if he were available), no Dennison, ..... I want us to look across the country to find a top OC or DC from a major/winning program. I don't know anything about him other than the little bit I've read, but McElwain would fit that bill for me. McGee would also appear to fit that bill. I would prefer to avoid the hot prospect coach at a non-bcs school (looking at you Peterson and Patterson)

I'm just worried that given Bohn's past performance in finding coaches, it'll be a quick set of 1-3 candidates, and we'll end up with the cheapest option (either Mac - fine with that, or else Calhoun - not thrilled with it).
