I was a eight/nine year CU season ticket holder. I am a big CU fan and follow the program.
Some of you know about the lack of facilities, financial constraints, self-imposed-recruiting restrictions, etc.
But what you might not know about is the God awful pervasiveness of close-minded, heavy-handed LIBERALISM. After all, this is a city that makes its own foreign policy and allowed Ward Churchill to flourish long after it was exposed with incontrovertible evidence that he was a fraud.
A football coach is likely to be the single most suspect member of the CU faculty. These are people who terms like "paternalistic hegemony" and "male-dominated rape culture" when refering to college athletics.
Understand that ANY coach that takes that position is deemed guilty and then must begin to prove his political correctness. it is not exactly an environment conducive to attracting a high profile coach. An assistant who wants to put his foot in the door, or a dedicated alum,...sure.

Take a look at this: LINK

"anti-gay,sexist, deep concerns,abortion,promotion of the bible,chilling effect,embracing diversity,sexist, disempowering women, National Organization for Women, etc"----these are what one hears when discussing who to hire at the University of Colorado.

At every other school in America your boss is the Athletic Director. At CU, you answer to the Dean of the Sociology department and the Dean of the Woman Studies Department and you better toe the politically correct line or they will RUIN you. they will attempt to make you the Enemy of Mankind. It's sport for the Academic Left.

Good God, can you politards ever keep your drivel confined to your own board? Why do y'all always feel the need to spread your lunacy to other boards?

In other words, you are a bed-wetting liberal that has a poster of Al Gore above your bed, right next to the picture of you helping Jimmy Carter build a house.

Read the comments:

In this guy's eyes, I'm an abomination. I don't deserve civil rights. You think this is the guy who should lead our football team? Just imagine yourself in the shoes of someone who is gay or lesbian. A football player, or a trainer, or faculty or staff, or a kid at Boulder High. Just for a minute, imagine how it would feel to you if you were young and vulnerable, maybe bullied at school, or desperately trying to hide who you are. The head football coaching job at CU carries with it a lot of prestige and authority. Let him practice his faith at home and in his church and anywhere else he wants. But don't put him at the top at CU and reward him with a big salary.

At the same time, hire someone from outside to run a mail-in ballot among alumni and students to see if anyone actually gives a flying fungo bat about football, anymore. If the majority don't want it, why have it? Especially as the reality of the economics and who actually benefits, even beyond the gambling community. After all, the most hysteric proponents of the football "Buffs" are locals who never attended CU, and never played football, but have status and income dependent upon the games. They're outside the mission of


"Let's not forget that Coach Mac is the best man for the job at hand. Everyone believes in something--let's play ball!"

This is like saying that a cold blooded sociopathic serial killer makes the best soldier.

Look whats reared its ugly head again... "The Promise Keepers." Please don't tell me it's time to climb back on this holy roller bandwagon again. And Joanne, you don't have to say anything, I will. I am biased against Christianity. How many people have been KILLED throughout history in the name of this religion? What a swell bunch. Maybe we could hold another "inquisition" into the "witchcraft" practiced by Boulder City Council, or persecute someone who thinks the sun is at the center of the solar system.

Finally, as for believing in something, I do, even though it will most likely never happen. I believe that someday, this country will wake up and stop idolizing and financially embellishing "sports superstars," and see it for what it really is. A game. Spend the money on the thousands who starve to death every year in the "greatest, most powerful nation" in the world.

Plenty of places with successful football programs fit the same profile.

Madison, WI
Stanford
Eugene, OR
Hell, even Austin, TX seems to be getting closer and closer to that.

I can't imagine if, for the right price, it's seen as much of an impediment if at all.

All are Lefty cities for sure, but only Stanford might be a fair comparison as the Athletic Department and the football culure thrives at Wisky, UT & Oregon.

It's more tolerated at CU.

So the message I take from this is, a liberal academic institution will not let a successful football program thrive.

why exactly is it on the coaching board again?

Yet, somehow, Bill McCartney was able to coach there with a great deal of success.

For the uninformed, he's the founder of the Promise Keepers, and is now the CEO of the Road to Jerusalem Ministry.

No, that is NOT what I'm saying.
My premise is NOT that liberals "hate" college football.
That would be stupid and insupportable.
My premise is that CU-Boulder has a uniquely hostile environment that is based around liberal ideology within specific academic deparments.
Just as a company has a "personality", CU has a pervasive liberal- ideology "personality" that makes it hard for college football and hard-core (and very powerful) tenured professors to peacefully coexist.
Part of the job is to maneuver the minefields that do NOT exist elsewhere.
A lot of football coaches don't want to add that to the list.
It is what it is.

Yeah, I suppose that is why those liberal bastions of academia like Wisconsin, Cal, and Texas have had zero success at football....

Oh wait.

There is nothing unique about it. The same arguments are forwarded at LSU.
