FootballScoop:

quote:

With that said, initially we were told Jim Leavitt’s departure from CU two years ago left a bad taste in Rick George’s mouth. While we understand that is the case, we also hear the two have discussed the job and have moved the relationship forward. Several CU powerbrokers believe Leavitt, a known quantity from his time there as defensive coordinator for Mac, is the right answer. However, George wants to sit down with Mel Tucker before making this decision we understand.


quote:

Sources familiar with where the search currently stands described Tucker and Leavitt as a strong candidates to FootballScoop.


quote:

The other name that has been connected to the search for a while now is Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason. The former Stanford defensive coordinator knows the Pac-12 well.


quote:

All along we had heard Washington defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake mentioned as a candidate. If George and company are focused on “positive energy” defensive oriented coaches, Lake definitely meets that criteria.

Stay tuned as this one feels like it is heading towards closure following Saturday’s conference championship games.

Think they would have considered Ed Orgeron?

You must have been very disappointed in Getting coach O. LSU is a better program and 2 of those coaches above are as good or better then coach O.

Seems like a good realistic list . Doesn’t seem like they want gamble so they are going with guys with experience.

No doubt, if Canada gets passed over at Maryland then Colorado needs to give him a call.

So it is Mel Tucker. That’s out of nowhere.

We will promote our ILB coach to DC. Will be the youngest in the country, but is a rising star.

It’s not a terrible list, but it’s not really exciting either. But I’m not sure if there is an “exciting” hire out there right now. Maybe Kiffin.

However, I don’t have a ton of faith in the Colorado athletic department. CSU has put more into their athletic department lately compared to CU.

The list is all defensive coaches.

Dallas Tiger is an Oklahoma fan.

Should make perfect sense now.
