Butch Davis?
This isn't about Barnett. Boulder has started to view the football program as another corporation. Think of all of the rape accusasations there, then think how many have actually gone to trial.
IMO a coach would be crazy to try to take over at Churchill University.
I heard Glen Mason may have interviewd privately. He is know as a program builder.The name thats been tossed out the most though has been Butch Davis.
Barnett left a mess at Northwestern when he left.
He is one of those college coaches that leaves messes everywhere he goes.
while you are probably right to a certain extent, Barnett has a history as well.
I have seen and heard his name listed....but I don't know if he is ready for another rebuilding project.
yeah....
Glen is tired of playing 2nd banana to Michigan and Ohio State in the Big Ten. Since he can't get over the hump against those 2 (although he did beat Michigan this year), he might as well leave.
Also, it depends on the contract negotiations with Minnesota. Supposedly it's rumored that he is looking for a retirement clause with Minny.
I realize Barnett is no angel, but he did have to try and clean up the Neuheisel mess in Boulder. Looking at the condition in which Slick Rick left Washington's program, it appears Barnett did a fairly decent job against a stacked deck.
no doubt that Barnett is a decent to good coach. Look at what he did at Northwestern....
but chances are he didn't try to clean up what Neuheisal did. So there is a mess on top of a mess. But at this point in time, the Neuheisal stuff is ancient news...
nah I don't think Colorado wants to see Slick Rick anytime soon...
yeah probably....
I don't know what would have drawn him to CU.
I mean it was pretty obvious after Neuheisel left that there was a mess there too. UCLA was just having issues getting players to play well.
And the CO-eds aren't even comparable LOL
He might see it as the chance he never got while at Kansas to win a conference without a strong Nebraska there to whip him.
possibly...but it's going to take a couple years because Oklahoma and Texas are going to be fighting for the Big XII for the next couple years....
Yeah. I think the Big 12 is going to be a tough conference next season. At least tougher than this year. Neberaska will basically be having the first full year under a Callahan recruited team so the North shouldnt be such a pitiful division. I think NU's bowl game is going to show how decent they have come along.
I tell you what, if NU is within 4 TDs of Michigan, then they have improved.
Michigan isn't a bad team. They just has a pitifully slow start and ran into a good Ohio State team in the end.
I hope its closer than that.
never know...but NU is going to have a hard time moving the ball against Michigan....
