Coburn isn’t an AD by trade. He’s a political chief of staff type that was brought in to straighten out the books and spending. I assume this was meant to happen last year if not for covid.
Yes, he has been rumored for lots of other jobs also. But you don’t leave a sweet gig like Army or another service academy to go to Kansas/Duke.
There’s been a bunch of rumors that the bears might make a run at Ryan Day, wonder if he’s biding his time for that come January…
Because they are stupid? I mean they watched Matt Nagy score 0 points as a play caller in the 2nd half of a playoff loss and still went yep, we need him.

UT’s defensive coordinator Tim Banks got interviewed by Duke. He will be a head coach someday and he is 49. There are worst things than coaching Duke to 7 wins every few years and cashing checks for a decade.
Bob Shoop came to UT from Penn State on an enormous salary and the next big thing while talking a lot of shit about how dynamic his defensive scheme was. He was arrogant dick head to everyone and his defenses sucked. Now he is a defensive analyst at Miami. Talk about fucking it up.
Maybe they're promoting from within or actually had another qualified external candidate? Public schools you can generally know the candidates but not here
it really would be the Miami thing to do. Hire a search firm just to hire the person you walk out your office and talk to everyday.
This might be the worst hire of the past few cycles. Made absolutely no sense at the time and went as predicted, if not worse.
I remember the last time CSU came open they interviewed Kevin Wilson and seemed to be higher on him than Alford. Hope that is still the case
Selfishly I hope Alford stays, but I'd be very excited for him if he got it. He seems like a genuinely great person and it's definitely his dream job.
Alford to CSU seems like the easiest call this entire coaching carousel, so it almost certainly won't happen
I wasn't mad when Urban took him from ND at the time for the same reason. Just a genuinely likeable guy who seems to really be in it for the kids. The move at the time made sense for his goals and I'm really surprised he hasn't been a HC yet. When he gets his chance, I hope he kills it.
