My employer Colorado State University just hired Jim McElwain, Alabama's Offensive Coordinator, as our new head coach.
Is this guy ready for a head coaching position? He seems to have some things going for him, including NFL experience, a good run with Alabama and he has ties to the western US. I'm just finding it hard to get inspired by the choice...so tell me what I don't know!
Comments??

Like George Carlin said, "Wherever you are, there you are."
So CSU has no rep as a football powerhouse - got it. But it's a top notch research university with 28,000 students, and we're located in Fort Collins, which makes the top 10 places to live in the US every year. This place has a lot going for it.
And the pres and new athletic director are putting $1.35 mil into the new coach's salary...so I'm hoping some good things will result.

| Gotta agree. Been to Fort Collins several times playin' the blues and I must say I wouldn't mind living there at all. I could say that about many places in Colorado though. |

Did I mention we're also referred to as the NAPA Valley of Microbrews? Three craft breweries are located within 1.5 miles of my house....
