    A big time college coach? Honeymoon at CU seems to be over

    I am not close enough to the everyday workings of CU football, but I believe attendance has skyrocketed since he has become the coach
    Not sure how you can turn over a roster year in and year out like he has and be a consistent winner. CU was dead in the water before he became head coach.

    He brought a lot of kids from where he coached last.

    I think that was his first year there, now not so much.

    Hard to tell. They should win more, but they will never compete for a National Championship with the players they bring I'm. Not enough talent.
    And of course a bunch followed him from his last job, they would have been stupid not to, it a huge difference in schools, and opportunities. Don't let anyone make You think differently. Almost nobody plays for an HBCU school, that could actually start at a power 5 school because they want to.

    I get it. Not sure why most top flight recruits would go play for him. You know i think Bill O'brien would have been a great coach at PSU. Kids seemed to love the guy

    The circus came to town and now the novelty seems to have worn off. I guess it depends on how much many CU has for NIL deals.

    This is what we will see. I actually always thought he was just using CU to get a better job, but now I'm not sure that's possible between his losses, and his ongoing health concerns.

    His health concerns are real, maybe needs to step away?

    Just heard on the radio that he has pulled play calling duties away from Pat Shurmur again (2nd time in 3 years) and demoted him to QB coach. Sitting at 3-6 with at least 2 more likely losses on the schedule doesn't look real promising.
