Per ESPN, Colorado officially named former Miami Dolphins assistant coach Karl Dorrell as their next coach.
here's what I know, from a very well connected source--
Chev is out
Mora wants the job
Sarkissian is being pushed for the job by Saban but has some major baggage
Bielema is a top candidate but he has a huge offset and is still owed money by Arkansas so it might not be worth his while
They interviewed Calhoun (AFA coach) today and he is in play but many question the fit; doesn't like to kiss ass at alumni functions, basically
I think that's it. Had a few discussions today.
I contend Bieniemy needs to take a head coaching job at some point. He's 51ish and needs to steer the ship as captain.
I don't know how many people in Boulder want him around. Twice was enough. In any case, he's still picking pieces of Stan Smagala's helmet out of his ribs.
And, who gives a shit? Only CU people think they matter. CU is destined to be a perennial PAC-12 doormat, maybe middling in some years. Their big game every year is the "rivalry" with Utah. Riveting.
and it's kind of sad.
CU is a dead end job in a mediocre conference.
not sure if he's accepted.
Announcement tomorrow.
and Troy has been pretty successful at USAFA. I hope he stays. I liked him when he was on Gary Kubiak's staff here with the Texans.
Bieniemy is banking on a head coach job in the NFL in 2021...but he thought that this year.
I hear that he doesn't interview well...everything is just cliches and rah rah stuff. But Reid is pushing for him and he'll eventually get a chance.
I believe he should have taken the CU job (if offered) because college coaching did good things for Bill O'Brien and Matt Rhule's brand and eventually got each a well paying NFL gig.
good luck to 'em...I've always had ND #1 in my heart, but I did like them back when I was in college. They were extremely talented
really small time. Tucker is not a fool, he knew to get while the getting was good.
And it gives me no pleasure in saying so, for a variety of reasons that I won't get into on a public board. I wish that it weren't so. Whoever gets it, I hope that he gets it turned around.
