Sounds like the final two at CU are: Jimmy Lake and Ryan Day

[Meek]

Name a head coach at one of the true blue bloods got the job straight from being a coordinator. I can’t think of one off the top of my head that wasn’t either an interim situation or they got promoted from within. Actually, just thought of Kirby smart. Is that it though? Doesn’t seem to happen.

Will Muschamp

and the thing is, Muschamp was the heir apparent to Mack Brown at Texas until he got tired of waiting.

CU is a fucking shit job. The faggiest school in pac-12. Have the hottest bitches though so they could be become STDU lite.

It's not a shit job, middle-tier football potential.

Second point.... you are correct.

I hate those fuckers.

Fort Collins for lyfe.

Yes motherfucker.

Jeremy Pruitt, Dabo, Kirby Smart.

They aren’t true blue bloods, but those are the kind of tier 1B jobs that Jimmy might be able to land.

Dabo wasn't even a coordinator, he was just the WR coach when he got the interim gig wasn't he?

Yes

Was this answer satisfactory?

It seems to me that Colorado has a loser administration, kind of like UW.

It’s a good job though. Some of you are delusional if you think Lake is going to get an amazing head coaching job right way.

You get that type of job from getting the head job at a place like Colorado and winning there.

There are outliers like Kirby Smart (Georgia alum) and Muschamp, but it doesn’t happen often.

And Muschamp was a known entity at DC for a number of years at different high profile schools and Smart was a national champion.

I agree Lake's not getting a better first HC gig than Colorado, certainly not for a few years.

Will Muschamp

Coaches at South Carolina. Not blue blood. Barely tier three. Doesn't count.

Bob Stoops. Lincoln Riley. Clay Helton.

Not coaching. Promoted from within. Both interim AND promoted from within. Doesn't count.

but he did get paid nicely by Florida, so if Jimmy Lake is so shallow (see what I did there?) that he's only about the money then he gone.

Already said Smart, and I think Tennessee is a good enough job that it would count. Certainly better than Colorado. Dabo was promoted from within, so doesn't count.

So of the 18 or so programs that I would count in a (broadly defined) tier 1 (allowing for places such as Tenn, A&M, UW), I think there are exactly two schools with a HC that came straight from a coordinator job at another school to take over.

I think ADs generally learned from the brief Will Muschamp phase we seemed to go through a few years ago when hot coordinators were snapped up for top jobs.

Yeah yeah yeah. I read your message all the way through after I posted. Stoops still fits.

That’s after he flames out at Florida. He took over Florida after Urbany Meyer. That was a tier one job at the time.

Muschamp was also the DC that started the act like a fucking maniac retard on the sidelines DC craze instead of calmly assessing the game from the booth

I dooged out in 2009 and 2010 when Nick Holt would be screaming at the defense.
