What is your biggest concern as to the 2-3 week process in getting to a new CU head coach?
- Not concerned. The Buff Nation has engaged in too much hand-wringing over nothing. In Rick we trust! (52%, 246 Votes)
- That the Recruiting Class of 2019 will lose commitments, without enough time to pick up new recruits (32%, 149 Votes)
- That the new head coach (presumably Mel Tucker) won't have enough time to properly put together a top notch staff of assistants (13%, 62 Votes)
- That Rick George did not get his first choice for a replacement (Ryan Day? Les Miles?) (3%, 13 Votes)

Rate the percentage chance that Mel Tucker will be named CU's next head coach
- 80%-90%. "Barring a last minute setback", means to me that the contract may not signed, but the deal is all but done (57%, 276 Votes)
- 60%-70%. Tucker might not have made it out to Boulder yet. I'm guessing/assuming that Tucker will be CU's head coach in the next few days (20%, 99 Votes)
- 100%. The deal is done. It's all over but the introductory press conference (15%, 75 Votes)
- 50% or less. If any program can mess this up, it's CU. Perhaps Tucker would rather go to Louisville than Boulder (8%, 37 Votes)

Mel Tucker, University of Colorado head football coach. Thoughts?
- Very excited. Tucker seems to check all of the boxes. I think Buff fans will have plenty of reason to be excited about this hire for years to come (47%, 217 Votes)
- No opinion, yet. Ask me again when CU actually makes the announcement that Tucker has been hired (42%, 193 Votes)
- If we're being honest, I'm disappointed. It's a buyer's market for teams this year, and CU failed to come through with a home run hire (11%, 55 Votes)

If CU names a coordinator who is coaching in a title game this weekend, I will be:
- Very pleased. There are some quality options out there, and the Buffs are about to get a very good coach (47%, 191 Votes)
- Withholding judgment. There are some good ones ... and some not so good ones. We'll see what happens ... (46%, 186 Votes)
- Disappointed. I was hoping for a coach with head coaching experience. It doesn't sound like its going to happen (7%, 28 Votes)

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.
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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
