Colorado carnage?

[Caveman Catfan]

Time will tell if his comment about his OL did not serve its purpose. He will likely hunt the portal for the best OL he can get and by saying it’s obvious that is what they need, he was talking to recruits in HS and the portal. If you watch his pressers, it’s hard to count him out. I think players will want to play there and that is probably what this year was all about.

But all fans/media are doing is the ole compare to the lowest point and then argue that is the baseline....just like UK fans do with Stoops.

1. Colorada was 1-11 the year before Sanders. But if you look at 5 year averages....Colorado with Dorrel, Mel Tucker, etc... were about a 4-5 wins per year program.
2. So Sanders wins 4 games.....that is about what the coach that they just fired was getting them. Now if Sanders jumps that to 6-7 wins next year....now we are talking about some progress. But so many are acting like he's done some miraculous job....he simply has not. And once Shaddeur and Hunter leaves eventually....I'll argue he's not going to get a better QB than his son.
3. UK fans did the same with Stoops....like 2 wins was the norm for UK when Brooks was solidly getting 6-7 wins and then Joker was a disaster.

This is football, not basketball. Improvement is judged by the year before and the reason why the school needed a new coach. Colorado has improved dramatically.
