• That his job starts January 1st instead of July 1st. Lovo needs to hit the ground running if CU is going to get its ship pointed in the right direction ... which needs to be now, not in six months (44%, 54 Votes)
• That Lovo has incentive clauses in his contract for fund-raising (an extra $200,000 if he raises $25 million by July 1st). I'm excited to see what Lovo does to generate much needed dollars (43%, 53 Votes)
• That he hired an excellent football coach two weeks into his job at New Mexico. Between his ties to Eck and new OC Brennan Marion, CU should be well positioned should Coach Prime need/want to leave (13%, 17 Votes)

• Lovo made a home run hire in football (Jason Eck) and has ties to Brennan Marion (at Texas). Lovo may be well positioned to hire Coach Prime's replacement (and perhaps Tad Boyle's as well) (48%, 73 Votes)
• Love this hire! Lovo turned around New Mexico in just a year, with record fundraising, and an athletic department which finished 49th in the Learfield Directors Cup (CU finished 69th) (33%, 50 Votes)
• Not sure about this one. Lovo did well at New Mexico, but he is only 36, and no extended runs of success. He's also from Florida, and could leave soon if successful at CU (19%, 29 Votes)

• Medium. Colorado will need to add about 40 players, so the Transfer Class will be highly rated, by volume if not by merit. I'll get excited when Coach Prime gives me good reasons to get excited (43%, 86 Votes)
• Low. The (only) Portal opens January 2nd; CU classes start January 8th. CU has no defensive tackles and no linebackers. Think Coach Prime can rebuild a defense in six days? Neither do I (41%, 82 Votes)
• High. Coach Prime has had the No. 1, No. 9 and No. 19 transfer classes. He will again put together a top rated transfer Class, and get the Buff Nation excited about the 2026 season again (16%, 30 Votes)

• An interesting move, and probably a good one for Michigan. Whittingham has proven he can do more with less. With unlimited resources, he can restore order to the Michigan program in short order (50%, 55 Votes)
• A curious move. Whittingham had it all set up to continue to be paid by Utah for years to come, and now he is risking his reputation on taking on the huge challenge of fixing Michigan (29%, 32 Votes)
• All things being equal, I would have preferred Whittingham retire and have Michigan hire ASU's Kenny Dillingham. It would have been nice to get Dillingham out of the Big 12 (21%, 23 Votes)

• I'm not worried about his last name, because his offer sheet tells you he belongs. A defensive tackle with offers from USC, Oregon and Michigan is very welcome in my book (65%, 75 Votes)
• A very nice addition to the roster. A 6'3", 310-pounder in a position of dire need? A very nice Christmas present for the Buff Nation (33%, 38 Votes)
• Nothing against the young man, but this is the son of the defensive line coach. Not to pick at old wounds, but hasn't CU been burned by adding sons of coaches in the past? (2%, 2 Votes)
