CU is a very complicated situation and in no way comparable to what UW is or isn't capable of.bladerunnr wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 11:54 am I read one post on the CU message board after the Dorrell firing that CU won't rest until they're paying 6 coaches simultaneously. It shows how hard it is to find the right guy.
It's fairly well known that after the scandals in the late 90s and early 2000s, the CU administration very deliberately put football on the back burner and heavily handicapped the program.
Also, Rick George is almost universally thought to be a terrible AD...and I don't mean they way people on here whine about Burman. I mean, legitimately bad all the way around.
Mel Tucker left CU in the middle of the night and handicapped the program further, and Dorrell was a terrible hire with a terrible contract who then made even more terrible hires to his staff (such as Mike Sanford, who somehow keeps embodying the phrase "failing upwards").
That program has been a disaster from the top down for many years and for multiple reasons.
