• “We don’t have time to waste. Now’s the time we’ve got to go and it’s critically important that we sell our brand, we market our brand, and we start to find new avenues to generate revenue" (79%, 67 Votes)
• "We will be aggressive, we will have disciplined decision making, and we will keep our student-athletes first, and that’s what we’re going to do" (18%, 15 Votes)
• “I’m really excited to get there and really dive in. Going into it, the one thing that’s 100% certain is the power of our brand and our institution. That’s a huge selling point" (3%, 3 Votes)

• Lovo took the job site unseen - he'd never been to Boulder. Are we to assume he will fall in love with CU, absorb its history, and sell the program on the fly? Not sure how that's going to happen (42%, 53 Votes)
• Lovo is from Miami, and went to school at Florida. If an opening comes up in his home state, Lovo could last as long at CU as he did at New Mexico, which to say all of one year (31%, 40 Votes)
• He's what, 37 years old? With one year as an athletic director at New Mexico, one of the worst programs in the FBS. There weren't any more experienced athletic director candidates out there? (27%, 34 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 (44%, 60 Votes)
• 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 (42%, 57 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 (14%, 20 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)
