Message: [QUOTE="ColoradoB, post: 4839265, member: 6912"] Been away from here for a while but will chip in. Nothing here to really argue with other than I would say the SEC would be the last place he should go. Longtime boosters and ADs of big time programs that answer to those boosters aren't going to give him the keys that he would have at a place like CU. It is the perfect place to try the experiment and yes, the gimmick of hiring such a personality with such little coaching experience. They have nothing to lose after the Karl Dorrell years. With the Lewis situation an assistant role needed to be opened up in order to bring Shurmur up from analyst to OC and to help coach the O-Line since they have been a turnstyle with O'Boyle. Since O'Boyle was Lewis' guy it has been speculated that Lewis took that demotion instead probably with the idea he'd be on to something else after this year anyway. The offensive line did look much better against Arizona, but regressed against Wazzu. Awful look for Sanders nonetheless with the change during the season when the offense wasn't really the problem. I dislike the showboating, ego, early season attention and hype, and I also loathed Sanders as a player. That said I am also patient to see what he can do going forward. I think he now sees what he is involved with and he needs to adjust. He wasn't going to flip everything in year one no matter how many players he turned over, and realistic people knew that. He has made in-game mistakes that depth and talent would probably overcome, but he still needs to learn from them. He has staff changes to make on both sides of the ball. I like Lewis' offense but I don't think the personnel fit with it unless some major changes were made. Defense needs a complete overhaul. [/QUOTE]
