🏈 Latest on College Coaching changes

I have not seen any credible reports about Sark and Colorado even talking. Is this just Finebaum stirring the pot or did I miss a report?

I see some "Colorado should hire Sark" articles (and a few naming McElwain also) but nothing saying Colorado actually has interest. Eric Bieniemy and Bret Bielema are the names I see most often, followed by the interim coach who was their OC.

I'm of the opinion that Steve doesn't need another rebound job.

My point was more that he's coached at two of the more successful Pac-12 programs only to end up at one of the Pac-12s lower programs.

Doesn't make sense to me from a career standpoint, unless he's just wanting to be a head coach again anywhere.

Yeah, but some folks would rather call the shots rather than be forced to accept direction from others. Having a taste of being head honcho, you have to think that's where he wants to end up, and he won't get another top tier chance before he shows he can win again at a lower tier school.

DC is the worst traffic I have ever dealt with and I spent a couple of months in NYC. LA had the worst road conditions of anywhere I have driven.

DC is definitely in the top 5. With the split schedules of government employees, rush hour starts at 6 a.m. and ends around 8 p.m.

I absolutely love CO. I spend more time there than I do here where I live (Wyoming). My kids and I hike, snowboard, and mountain bike a ton and CO has plenty of that

Keep that in mind, Strong will have strong influence on Defensive game planning and I wouldn't be shocked if He does the game planning behind the scene and Golding just call the plays. I also wouldn't be shocked if Strong is in meetings with Golding to help players understand what's going on in the film room. This will benefits the LB group. Strong has strong background working with LBs. I'm willing to bet that we will see Kaho, Moody, Benton all of sudden looking lot better by August.

So what happen to Freeze and Liberty? I know one game he was in the press box on a hospital bed?

I hope he is the influence that builds it back to bama d quality...
I was hoping he would take over D and move Golding to the other weak area of Bama football....
Maybe..maybe

He's still there. Got a 5 year extension in December that averages $2 million a year over the life of it. Not sure why he is being mentioned as a possible at Bama since I doubt we would pay more than that (Sark only made like $1.5 million this year).

He had a bad staph infection - like life threatening levels - that caused him to have surgery two days before a game. He was bed ridden after that for a few days, so he compromised to have a hospital bed moved up to the coaches box lol

It's not unheard of as we saw just a few years ago with Dan Enos. Now, the dollar figures are not the same but the point here is seeing a guy leave a smaller program as head coach to join a bigger program in a coordinator role isn't unprecedented.

Do you remember Enos leaving his HC job at Central Michigan to take the OC role at Arkansas? Weird storlines there ... still close to home today. Enos took over the CMU program from Butch when he left for Cincy. Current head coach at CMU? McElwain, right?

Geez...did you know that Roy Kramer used to coach there as well?

There is a blast from the past. I'm thoroughly convinced he was in cahoots with Phat Phil when Alabama was set up to be taken down by the NCAA. Once this old fart dies, I will make the pilgrimage to his grave site in order to take a piss.

You r talking of Kramer.....no doubt in cahoots with UT.... you probably will have to wait in line for ur pee spot

It happens but I was hoping for at least one off season w/o major turnover at the coordinator position. If Sark put his name in the pot I suspect he will be getting the job.

I really hope in some weird way you're implying maybe Mac back to UA as OC?!

The irony here is that he was driving it from Los Angeles and he got busted in El Paso just driving on the freeway. My first thought when I saw the headlines, was he coming up from Mexico.

Part of me is wondering why he doesn't just buy some cheap land in the south and grow it himself. Much easier to control things.

I think you meant to post this on another thread. Maybe | FTBL - Former Auburn OT Greg Robinson & WR Quan Bray caught with 157 POUNDS of Marijuana
