does McCartney have an official position with the school? or is he angling for a Tom Osborne type role?

Lol, so we have one side accepting the offer. And the other refuting an offer has even been made. Lol.

I would hope going into the pac 12 that CU would make a better hire, or more of a splash is what I mean.

And I've seen separate reporting about Bienemy. At least that domino has fallen. Nutt got an extension out of it. I predict a Sexton client (or two) will get a raise or extension for every mid-level and up HC vacancy, regardless if any Sexton client is actually hired.

Colorado — Bill McCartney a former coach for the University of Colorado has said that Washington Redskins assistant coach, Jon Embree has been offered the head coach job at University of Colorado because he was Black. The Huffington Post reports:

It was never about me doing it again,” McCartney said of his interest in the job. “It was about setting the table for a black man to come in (as head coach). And he (athletic director Mike Bohn) hired one. Now, give him a chance.”

McCartney later commended CU for making the offer, telling the Post: “quite frankly, it’s awesome.”

As of February, just 3 out of 119 Division 1 college football programs had black coaches. The NCAA has been criticized in the past for its lack of black football coaches.

Nobody likes black men more than Bill McCartney. Well, except for his daughter (and Samoans).
