Haywarduck Moderator No. 7 Share Posted December 4, 2022 We have been down that road, and hopefully aren't on that one again. How long will Dion last at Colorado? Mel Tucker lasted 15 months, anyone care to guess if Dion last less or more? I think there needs to be a term for coaches like this, maybe a temporizer? They are certainly opportunists, but I like the term temporizer, as we all know they will only be there temporarily. Might be what Colorado needs to get over the hump, as Oregon did fairly well with a couple temporizers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Ducky No. 9 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Congrats to Colorado. This should help them recruit some skill position guys which has been a big problem lately. The pack just took another step forward. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of surprised that he left Jackson State. Why didn't he leave there after one year of miracle working if he just wants some stepping stones??? We don't know what his goals are. Let's keep our chins up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
