That was quick, Addazio....

[Woof 101]

Lands the head job at CSU. Thought he would be a good fit at one time here.

Urban Meyer assisted the Rams with their head coach search.

Anyone hear what salary will be?

Haven’t seen anything on Assistant Coaches Salary pool:

 

[Pudge]

Somebody from the CHSFC association is going to send Connecticut kids to Fort Collins - because it is a beautiful incredible city.

 

[UConnJim]

I feel bad for CSU fans.

 

[Uconnalliance]

BAM

 

[Steelerone]

Good for Steve. He will run a clean program with his players well being and academic standing the primary factor. He thinks more of his players as people rather than somebody to fill a position. unfortunately too many people look at this as a weakness.

How many championships does that win in any sport?

Why? He isn’t a bad coach - think that’s a good spot for him. Timing didn’t work out well but I wonder where UCONN would be if we hired Addazio.

We couldn’t... he took the Temple job a week (or so) before UConn opened up. He would’ve likely been the pick had he been available once Edsall left after the Fiesta Bowl

He gives you no hope for a big season as his offenses have always been near the bottom in college football. Plus, he really doesn’t have strong ties to CSU’s recruiting territory.

i don’t know if Colorado State needs big seasons right now - bowl appearances would be nice. Unlike Edsall, he was able to come into a dumpster fire of a program coming off two wins and in one year got them to 7-6.

I think he would have been much better than Coach P. Timing just wasn’t right.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Wow, 1.5 million base salary seems a little rich.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Wow, 1.5 million base salary seems a little rich.

Really? Seems low to me.

 

[jdb50]

That is a long way to his house on the Cape. He would have had us in a much better place after Edsall left than PP/GDL. Why does the timing never work out for us?

 

[Bongo Fury]

Coaches wanna coach. Doesn’t seem like a good fit but we’ll see. Fire up a dube in Fun Fort Daz!

C’mon, are you actually suggesting Boise State may not fret too much about Addazio’s offenses?

 

[hardcorehusky]

Odd fit.

 

[BNich]

Move this to the coaching carousel thread.

 

[uconnbill]

He will build up offensive lineman and will run the ball a ton, which is different for CSU.

Let’s not pretend Colorado State is making this hire because they’re chasing Alabama.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

Addazio wasn't going to wait around to see if UConn would eventually call.

I don’t think you understand the situation at Colorado St. In the last 7 years, they went to a bowl 5 times. The last 2 seasons were 3 win and 4 win seasons, but they were competitive in games this year. Colorado St. built a new football stadium and has aspirations to be competitive for a potential P5 bid down the road. The goal is not to get to bowls, but to get back to 10 win seasons and being ranked. In the late 90s/early 2000s, Colorado St. won 10 games in 4 out of 10 seasons and were ranked 3 times. That is the expectation and Steve Addazio will not deliver that.

CSU = World Class? That's my only beef.
