Why is Colorado football such a stinking pile of garbage in 2014? Its division one FOOTBALL..!?!

[Lee_Land]

Colorado,Washington,Nebraska,Texas A&M,Tennessee,Miami and Syracuse were always major players in the late 80's to mid 90's it's just too many options these days and those schools don't have the pipelines they used to have. Nebraska used to stay eating off of Cali,Florida and Texas plus the "walk-on" program they were pretty much 3 deep loaded for a decade. Miami overachieved they never should've won 2 titles let alone 5 the game is different and they don't have the finances to play big boy ball as much as Cane fans don't wanna admit it. .

EDIT- A&M is making moves again but that program wasn't winning shyt during R.C.'s final years than they got hustled by Dennis Fraudphoney and Mike Sherman. Moving to the SEC was a look good they were midcard 4 life from about 99 on when it came to Big 12 pecking order.

On the $$ yeah this is spot on. I can't help but when I see dudes saying UM doesn't need a indoor practice facility or bigger and better weight rooms. Because you know Jerome Brown, Warren Sapp and Ed Reed didn't need it so why do newer players majority of this fan base really is stuck in that 80s 90s CFB mentality.

Hell last spring after a week of practice the field was so tore up they moved it to the baseball stadium but nikkas when FSU spent what 15 million on the IPF? Then there's not enough $ to pay for top assistants or even say a big name HC. Dudes were really calling for Golden to be fired and trying to bid for Charlie Strong with Texas

This is very interesting to read. I know they almost shut the program down in the 70s before Schellenberger got there and they had horrific football facilities. However, I thought that run from Schnellenberger to Coker's first couple years would have been prolific and lucrative enough to buoy the program financially for decades. And it's not like they weren't / aren't one of the more famous programs of the last 30 years. I don't follow the college game as hardcore as I used to, but why is Miami football currently in such a downtrodden state financially?

They kept Hawkins 3 yes longer than they should've which was the nail in the coffin however the Barnett scandal prior set em back as well.

One day they may be back but they need a whole new philosophy on offense and need to start getting a agressive attitude back like they had in the 90s.

 

[dtownreppin214]

they need to start marketing the weed.

 

[mastermind]

They used to eat off California now the whole pac 10 does so they arent getting as much talent same thing happening to Nebraska but theyve at least been competitive

This is the right answer

Same thing happened to Nebraska too. Both of these schools used to eat off California, Underrated Florida, and Louisiana kids.

LSU became really good so that ended Louisiana. There are more D1 schools in Florida now, so that ended that pipeline. And the Pac12 is back so that killed the California recruiting.

They were showing Washington end Miami's 58 home winning streak then cut to the end of that CU/Michigan game haha that some memorable shyt. This hail mary was always better than the Flutie one to me.

It was even being on the reciving end (no pun intended). Like i said...the talent on the field in that game was crazy. If not for the possible greatest team in football history, 94 nebraska, they wouldve got their second title that yr.....they were DEFINITELY the second best team.

You don't think Penn State could've hung with Nebraska in 94? I thought the 95 Nebraska team was superior when they added Ahman Green with Phillips.

Small private university with a limited amount of big money alums. That's prolly issue #1 and part of the reason why Nevin had the access he did. Although just recently the athletic department received a donation for around 12 million. But it's from the same guy who's been donating for decades.

Past 2 school presidents seem to have a love/hate relationship with the football program. Foote hated it and Shalala seems on it. Donna's done a lot of great things for UM academically but the FB team is just now seeing the improvement. the new Schwartz Center is a great improvement but it just brings UM even.

They'd been in Hecht Center since Schellenberger was the coach. Basically all the facility's are outdated.

Didnt they win or share a national title with GA Tech in like 90?

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

As a colege football traditionalist, i take a look at the fall off of a few programs that were powerhouses and use them as examples of what to avoid for michigan

TN
UDUBB
colorado
Nebraska
Miami
USC

And those that fell off and got better

Florida state
Alabama
Notre Dame

And try to find common denominators...

bad coaching hires seems to be #1, allowing rivals to defeat them reguarly seems to be #2 () because of the direct impact on recruiting....

Yeah due to the "5th down game" at Missouri and a clipping call on a Rocket Ismail return late in the Orange Bowl. 1990 was one of the biggest fukkery years in CFB history people mention 2007 as one but 90 was just as bad. GT played in the fukking Citrus Bowl that year vs a fringe top 15-20 Nebraska and won a share of the NC.

You def right. I forgot about that penn state squad (just like the voters that year @resurrection @SHAQAVELLI )
