Well, I think they were a little hard on 3 coaches on that list. Zook had winning seasons, and he built the foundation for Urban and the NC. I'm sure some would like to say Blake did the same for Stoops at OU, but man his record was horrible while doing it. Zook still had seasons we can only dream about this year. I'm appauled they put Coker on that list. All he did was win a NC and have one of the greatest stretches in college football. Miami arguably has better talent now than in Coker's final year/years, and they are remarkably worse. Barnett? You've got to be kidding me. He took over for Rick the Prick. Brought CU back onto the map. He won or played in the Big 12 Championship how many times? I was always under the impression it was the boosters enticing players. He may have known about it, or he may not have. However, he was a heck of a coach. I think Rick the Prick deserves to be on the list a lot more than Barnett. He's been a college coach at two different schools and he's undefeated in landing them with NCAA sanctions.

 

Agreed. You can call Barnett's time in Boulder a lot of things ("calamitous" comes to mind), but disappointing isn't one of them. A Big XII Championship and 3 other North titles says otherwise, despite the relative weakness of the division during those years. Slick Rick's tenure at Washington was WAAAAYYYY worse.

 

Also, and I realize this isn't the board to be saying this sort of stuff, but contrary to the opinions of whomever wrote that article-like thing, nothing was ever substantiated whatsoever regarding the so called "scandal" at Colorado. It makes me sick that the slanted trial by media that CU had to endure that year has translated into an assumed guilty verdict by everyone in the country, regardless of the fact that no legitimate verdict was ever rendered.
