Steve Fairchild out at CSU

by hisnamewas on Dec 4, 2011 9:15 PM MST

Fairchild will not return in 2012 as Rams football coach

Seen some interesting threads about who is next at CSU:

Pat Hill: Fresno State

Randy Shannon: Former UMiami

Turner GIll: Former KU/Buffalo Coach

Return of Sonny Lubick: Former CSU

Brent Venables: Defensive Coordinator of OU

Gary Barnett: Former CU??

Jim Tessel: tOSU

Urban Meyer: Haha I kid I kid...

Also have been reading on their threads that its CU who wanted to keep it at Mile High. For cereal?

No way Venables would take that job

Lamb fans are smoking dung if they think they have a chance at a big name hire like that

HAHAHAHAHA, i really do crack myself up sometimes….

Barnett interested in CSU job

http://www.denverpost.com/csu/ci_19471192

I would love to see Barnett get back into coaching… just not at CSU

Agreed

I would hate to see Gary Barnett coaching in Ft. Collins……

Always thought CSU was stupid for forcing Lubick out….

Randy Shannon would be awesome for them

But you have to think that he’s going to take the D-coordinator route before a low-level HC job

I would love 35-pt comeback paybacks

on a yearly basis.

Does anyone know off-hand what Gill did at Buffalo to be successful?

My wikipedia button is broken

and Buffalo has sucked in the two years after he left so apparently he didn’t set the world on fire with his recruiting either. He’s just one of those guys who’s parlayed one decent year into a permanent spot on the “hot young coaches” list.

I hope he DOES go to CSU so not only can we smoke CSU every year we can smoke an ex-Husker too.

If I was a CSU fan

of the names on that list (most are totally unrealistic) Pat Hill would interest me the most. I’ve always kind of liked him. Maybe it’s just the mustache though…

Maybe they'll hire Dave Logan

I’m tired of hearing people point to his success at Mullen. Oh you mean the private school that is only one of 3 schools who gets to hand pick their players? It says a lot that they didn’t win it all again this year with Cyler Miles still on the team… So PLEASE CSU, hire him!

Not that I dislike Logan. I am more annoyed with the idiots who think he’s qualified to jump to a D1 school.

College football is a sport that bears the same relation to education that bullfighting does to agriculture.

Logan was also a state champion at Arvada West and Chatfield

He had Steve Cutlip at AW, and recruited LenDale White to Chatfield from South, but he won. And Chatfield especially is a terrible destination for a football coach.

I would never advocate for Logan to head a D1 program, and I doubt that he would leave his current jobs, but don’t act like he’s only won because he’s at Mullen. (and incidentally, his predecessor as Mullen head coach is the current OC at Northwestern)

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

Wow, another serious issue for CSU to deal with

Oh that is hilarious if true.

I know the women up there are a little inbred looking, but geeze…..

June is dead to me now.

going to be so important to have a stout defense

with all the shoot out wizards being added to the pac12

Needless to say, the fan base here in Dallas is a little upset with him

Akward….

Sounds like ASU may have a legal issue

Offer Given. Acceptance provided. Offer pulled…. um, that can’t happen unless the offeree is willing to provide damages. Their AD is a genius.

by BuffulanceMan on Dec 8, 2011 8:13 AM MST up reply actions

I don't think so

Unless there’s something signed, I doubt there’s room for legal recourse.

The larger issue for ASU is credibility. What coach in his right mind would even look at this job after they offered and then pulled those offers to both Sumlin and Jones?

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

by Phil Fraser on Dec 8, 2011 8:39 AM MST up reply actions

the article

states the offer was accepted. hence my comment. oral acceptance is acceptance, esp. if it’s common in the industry.

by BuffulanceMan on Dec 8, 2011 9:16 AM MST up reply actions

nothing in that article shows anything legally binding

Jones’s agent himself said that there were “a few tweaks left.” That, in an of itself gives enough room for the school to pull the offer, regardless of their absurd rationale.

by Phil Fraser on Dec 8, 2011 9:32 AM MST up reply actions

well

i didn’t see anything from the agent in the article, so I’m not sure where you got that quote. Regardless, I was simply commenting on the fact that the article said there was an offer. it was accepted. the offer was pulled (rescinded). when this is typically done for multi-million-dollar deals and the accepting party has damages, the rescinding party gets sued.
