It's hard for even byu fans to deny his genius these days.

This is dumb. BYU fans (other than a tiny minority I have yet to encounter) never claim Whitt is a bad coach.

Wow, CU getting its money's worth. Watched the game on Saturday expecting to bail after CU started getting stomped. It was super entertaining, especially given all the hype around Coach Prime. I just wonder if they can keep him.

Of course they won't keep him if he is successful.

You forgot the last part.

No I didn't.

Thank you for acknowledging that Whittingham is amazingly talented and not overrated at all

Wait, are we talking about Kyle Whittingham now?

Taysom Hill thinks he's a good dude, and that's good enough for me.

I watched a mini-documentary about him when he first took over the Stanford job. i freaking wanted to run through a wall for the Cardinal. That's a fantastic coach.

The only reason I can see to dislike him is if he's coaching your opponent/rival. That's got to suck.

Oh he treats his insanely talented players well? Shocker! I'm kidding. My statement should be modified to say his on field persona is an insufferable jackass and that doesn't preclude him being a good person off the field. To be fair he treats officials like horse shit and that's a trigger for me on how I judge coaches' on field character.

What is your problem with Saban? The most successful college coach in history and not even a whiff of cheating or scandal.

I think his problem is only with Saban’s personality.

The Colorado game scored some big ratings, particularly for its timeslot when it was competing against a slew of other games. Only the FSU-LSU game, on by itself in primetime, beat it this last weekend. The 3rd place game was far behind. Coach Prime brings ratings.

Not surprising. It had the most hype of any game on Saturday - including the lead-in from Fox's Big Noon show. It was also a very entertaining game, with a huge underdog leading the vast majority of the game.

His personality just rubs me the wrong way. Kind of like Jose Mourinho in the soccer world, he seems to throw his players under the bus a lot. You just won 40-3? You're gonna publicly hear from Saban all of things that you did wrong as a player. I understand that's his way of trying to motivate his players. I'm more of a "praise in public, criticize in private" person. I'm not saying Saban is a bad person or a bad coach (who can say that?), but I just wouldn't want him as my coach.

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. As I put earlier, I know people who very rarely, if ever, watch college football and on Saturday you would have sworn they've been Colorado fans all their life. I have nothing personal against Sanders, he was a great player, and seems like a good coach; however, the whole love in the media has with him and the internet in general, has already gotten a bit tiresome. Maybe I am just sounding like a grouchy old man haha, but that's just how I feel.

And really doesn't matter what school he is at; he could have taken the South Florida job like a lot thought he would, or heck even a MAC school, and would still be getting the same press.

Yeah that hire has had an immediate ROI.

Harbaugh is an amazingly talented coach, not overrated at all. But he is also an insufferable jackass.
