Names to consider for our next football coach?

[Riveting]

Ouch. Says a lot especially considering that's the level and type of coach (Mid Major, offensive minded) we'd probably be going after.

Mack Brown, former NC coach, suddenly available.

Could be 1000% wrong but I’d imagine we lose 10-15k in current season ticket sales. Some probably offset by a few newbies, some offset by cheap package sales to opposing fans. Call it 12k in attendance we fall short in next year. That’s 84k unsold seats at say an average of $50 a pop. That’s $4.2million just in tickets. Tickets that don’t get an associated donation, concessions or parking fee. Call that another $2-3mil in lost revenue.

At that point the lost revenue pays for Walters buyout and a decent increase to the next coach.

Doesn’t take a business master to know that keeping Walters hurts the wallet next year.

But agree…they want a new AD and to have the new one hire the coach just like they did with Mbob. Making a “business” decision here but not really protecting the business…just some guys arbitrary timeline to leave.

The dream scenario is we hire away an AD AND his Head Football Coach.

I agree Hud. For the past couple weeks I've been trying to recall a situation where a coach was retained but his entire staff was fired...... So when does a head coach get a mulligan for hiring the wrong staff????

I believe they all will be let go.
Who wants to walk into a job knowing they will be used as a scapegoat by coach who can’t coach.

Amen, bro!!

HOW ABOUT DITKA ???

He’s an idiot. Trading away a whole draft for Ricky Williams is one example. Firing Buddy Ryan is another.

Ok then what about a MINI DITKA ??

Also, Coach Prime has been getting a lot of flack from people that do not like him leading prayer for the team in the locker room and the field.

parents that have player on team? Or people that like to find something to complain about?

People that like to find something to complain about. Coach Prime has been getting a lot of haters since he got to Boulder. There are a lot of haters that have always wanted him to fail. Been like that for years.

Cross off the Toledo coach for me - they lost to bottom feeder Akron last night…

Since Coach Prime seems to have too much baggage, I think Purdue should go after Liberty head coach Jamey Chadwell. At Coastal Carolina he went 31-6 in his last three years and in two years at Liberty he is 21-3. We could probably triple this guy's salary.

What baggage?

Just scroll up and read the comments.

I’ve read the comments. I don’t see anything about Coach Prime and baggage. Just say what you think the baggage is.

To me, that is not baggage. Baggage is getting into trouble about something, allegations of wrong doings, etc.

 

[motkaboo]

Yep, Coach Prime is a Christian.

Nobody would care if he's a Buddhist, Amish or nothing....he just needs to coach football and win.

If that’s the case why won’t Bobo leave after this year? Why are we lame ducking a year? Who does he report to? Too bad Mitch Daniel’s wasn’t around anymore sounds like he was the only one with common sense here

Well, he is doing both. Plus he just got the #2 rated high school QB to flip to Colorado. Plus a pipeline from IMG Academy in FL is developing.

Too late now. Coaches will be hired and in place within the next 5-10 days.

If Bobinski didn’t want to hold us back they had plenty of time to get his replacement in to hire the next coach. We’ve known the ship is sinking for 10 weeks and 9 games now.

How they were caught off guard by this I can’t understand
