Depends on who would get hired

We used to think CU couldn't hire a great leader for football. I knew it was possible if standards would be raised. I confess, it wouldn't be Deion and he being the force he is though.

What if CU BB could hire, for conversation sakes, someone who would supercharge fan excitement?

What if someone like Jay Wright came out of retirement and CU went after him hard and he said "yes."

Or John Calipari got sick of expections at Kentucky (he does have three of the top four or five recruits and four of the top nine coming to Lexington next season) and CU offered him a lifetime contract to coach five seasons?

Think recruiting, confidence and wins would explode?

"Those guys would never come here."

Who thought Deion Sanders would be coaching in Boulder.

"Perfect storm, dude. An outlier."

Ok, fair point. There are other guys that could excite a fan base. CU is a good, not great job. Tad has showed you can win here. No reason the right guy couldnt make the Buffs a Sweet 16 team once in a while.

We don’t have to back the dark ages. Fear of regression seems to be the common defense attorney approach on this board.

I don't think CU, PR wise, would fire him yet I fully agree with your post ** -- WinningLeadership 02/16/2023 2:06PM

I don't see how you make that change with the recruits he has coming in -- Colo Spgs Buff 02/15/2023 11:18AM

The low expectations go back decades, hard to break the addiction. -- Bisonic 02/14/2023 9:49PM

Boyle WAY more qualified than Ricardo. RP lucked into a nice multi-year -- iknowmorethanu 02/14/2023 9:58PM

Yes and no -- WinningLeadership 02/16/2023 2:13PM

In a pre-season scrimmage UNC handled the Buffs when TB was at Greeley. -- iknowmorethanu 02/16/2023 7:26PM

Agreed about Ricardo, although he ended up doing some good things -- WinningLeadership 02/16/2023 7:46PM

One can say MW4 saved Tad's job. -- Colo Spgs Buff 02/15/2023 11:20AM

That's a really good point. I agree with you, he probably wouldn't be here ** -- iknowmorethanu 02/15/2023 12:49PM

Harrison brothers tougher than Kin and Evan?. NO WAY ** -- Stronzo 02/15/2023 09:08AM

It varies year by year, obviously. -- Bisonic 02/15/2023 12:12PM

I wouldn't call Michel Morandais tough. You're right, it varies. I don't -- iknowmorethanu 02/15/2023 12:52PM

Loved Freddie. Who did Boyce and Roby play under? ** -- WinningLeadership 02/16/2023 2:15PM

They were a poor man's Georgetown. Martice Moore was solid, don't forget -- iknowmorethanu 02/15/2023 1:20PM
