New Colorado Coach?

[WorkHorse]

With former Oregon coach Mike Bellotti recently taking his name from consideration, these are the names most often mentioned. Troy Calhoun (Air Force), Les Miles (LSU), Kevin Sumlin (Houston) and former Colorado coach Mike McCartney.

Why Les Miles is being mentioned is a mystery to me. Miles makes 3 plus million with the Tigers and it's well know that Colorado is having money problems and looking for a coach on the cheap. Miles ain't going to the Buffalos for sure.

My guess is Sumlin has the inside track so far. Anyone close to the program heard anything about who the new coach might be?

I heard the same thing about Miles. Miles wants out of LSU due to harrassment to his family, mainly his kids. Football is less serious at CU and it would be a better fit for his family. It's less money but money doesnt buy happiness... so who knows.

Thanks Husker, I had not heard that about Miles kids.

Seems like he would want the Michigan job if it becomes available.

I've heard Eric Bienemy is the front runner for the job!

FWIW Georgia's Mark Richt name has been mentioned.

Richt will get one more year to turn things around at Georgia.

Calhoun would be a sharp hire.

Don't know if he would leave his alma mater for a pay raise though.
