Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham receives a new contract at $5.8 million, up from $4.1 million. Thoughts?
  • I like the idea of having a contract leaning heavily on incentives. Coach Prime doesn't lack for confidence, so pay him very well ... when he consistently produces wins for the program (62%, 136 Votes)
  • Apples and oranges. Yes, Dillingham won the Big 12 and went to the CFP, but Coach Prime's elevation of the CU program is unmatched. Coach Prime deserves to be paid as one of the top coaches in the US (32%, 71 Votes)
  • Sounds like a good target for CU and Coach Prime. Talk of Coach Prime wanting $10 million per year is just not warranted - and not fair to CU under the circumstances (6%, 14 Votes)

Rate your level of interest in the naming of some of CU's new assistant coaches
  • Low. Until the Coach Prime saga plays out, the hiring of assistant coaches is irrelevant. If Coach Prime leaves, then so will the vast majority of coaches. One step at a time - get the extension done! (49%, 118 Votes)
  • High. The strength and conditioning coach and offensive line coaches, in particular, will play a large role in how the team comes together and plays this fall (26%, 61 Votes)
  • Medium. We'll see how it all plays out. Yes, these positions are important, but I'll pay more attention this spring, when the coaching staff (and roster) are settled (25%, 60 Votes)

Who will be CU's starter at quarterback against Georgia Tech - Freshman Julian Lewis or Senior Kaidon Salter?
  • Kaidon Salter. Lewis should currently be midway through his junior year in high school. Lewis won't be ready (physically or otherwise) to take on a Power Four opponent. This is why Salter is at CU (62%, 164 Votes)
  • Trick question. The real question should be: Who will be the starter come mid-October? I can see Salter getting the non-conference starts, with the real battle for starter coming during Big 12 play (29%, 76 Votes)
  • Ju Ju Lewis. The five-star freshman didn't come to take over the keys to the kingdom in 2026. Lewis graduated early and enrolled early to be a starter (9%, 24 Votes)

One betting site: Coach Prime the betting favorite to become the new head coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Concerned?
  • Don't care. Yes, I care about Coach Prime staying at CU, but I'm getting to the point where I'm not going to pay attention until Coach Prime leaves, or has a new CU contract. Let's move on! (41%, 125 Votes)
  • No. Everyone who has any knowledge of how the NFL works knows Coach Prime is not a good fit for The League. Plus - can you imagine Jerry Jones being willing to take a back seat media-wise? Me neither (33%, 102 Votes)
  • Yes. The history between Jerry Jones and Coach Prime is well documented. Hiring Coach Prime could be the media bonanza that Jerry Jones is looking for - and Prime could move back to Dallas (26%, 80 Votes)

With Coach Prime's contract extension unsigned, rumors persist of his leaving to the NFL (most recently, the Raiders). What is your level of concern?
  • Medium. Both parties know it hurts recruiting not to have this done. I understand that Coach Prime deserves everything he wants, and CU has to watch every penny, but this needs to get done (48%, 147 Votes)
  • Low. Coach Prime had his first meeting with the team, and said he was happy to be a coach while not also having to be a dad at the same time. He's staying - case closed! (33%, 100 Votes)
  • High. Coach Prime and CU AD Rick George said the contract would be taken care of after the season. This just in: It's after the season. Every day it's not done is another day of worry (19%, 60 Votes)

  1. Stuart:

    I like the question about SS’s negative coverage. Personally, I think the see-saw coverage is mostly about “stirring the pot” and/or getting clicks. SS is this year’s draft soap opera–a love/hate fest For one negative story there is a more positive one. Some stories are just hit jobs (anonymous NFL assistant/exec), others just cover every minutia of his life. Yesterday, Kiper has him still going early.

    SS is an intriguing draftee warranting discussion, however the extensive overall coverage on every detail for one QB prospect seems over the top. NFL teams have their draft boards, needs, and evaluations and they make decisions based upon that. I’ll be glad when SS and TH are picked today and the focus will be on our team.

  2. The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
