Gary Barnett finaly gets the "AXE" at colorado

With this and being outscored 100-6 the last two weeks, I think there will be some serious line value on the Buffs in their bowl game.

double B, i was totaly shocked he didn't get fired during that whole scandle. because, everyone knew he knew about all that shit that happen. i guess it just goes to show ya. they will overlook everything, as long as there teams are winning and, there making $$$.

yeah really...he should have been fired for some of his comments and the whole scandal. He's really nothing special....had a chance at a quality program especially with a mediocre Big 12 North the past few years and couldn't come through...had to back his way into the championship game the past two years.

A lot of talent gone to waste IMO at CU the past few years. Some nice marquee wins over the yeas but nothing else to hang his hat on. Mostly underachieved I would say.

this guy survived that whole scandal there at CU not too long ago. and, now he gets fired after that 70-3 woodshead job texas gave'um. gee, i guess we see where CU's priorities are

DENVER (Ticker) - Gary Barnett apparently could survive a scandal but not a woeful end to the 2005 season.

According to a report in the Denver Post on Wednesday, Barnett will not be retained as the football coach of the Buffaloes, who lost their last three regular-season games by a combined 130-22.

Colorado, which won the Big 12 Conference North Division for the fourth time in five years, began the season 7-2 before concluding its season with losses to Iowa State, Nebraska and Texas, including a 70-3 manhandling by the Longhorns in last Saturday's conference title game in Houston.

The Buffaloes are to take on Clemson in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando on December 27.

The 59-year-old Barnett, who is 49-38 in seven seasons in Boulder, came under fire for insensitive comments made about kicker Katie Hnida, a walk-on in 1999 - his first season - who said she had been raped by a teammate. Other women alleged they had been sexually assaulted by players and recruits, though no charges were field.

Barnett was put on paid administrative leave on February 18, 2004, while a panel investigated charges about the program, but he was reinstated just over three months later.
