Colorado should easily win their next 2 games. I could see them in the playoffs, not because they are one of the 12 best teams; but because it would turn on TV's. If they end up in the playoffs, my guess is they would play an SEC team.

I don't think they end up in the playoffs if they lose the Big 12 championship game against BYU. It should be a good game.

North Dakota States only loss this season is against Colorado.
 
This team is gonna win the Big 12. Crazy. Just took em a month or so to gel on offense and defense. Have really hit the stride through the middle of the season. Very GT-2014.

Is he? A "good" coach?

Short term improvement and winning does not necessarily equal "good" coach.

Consistently producing competitive teams and winning over many years is a much better metric.

What we know for certain is that he has several players including his QB son that he brought with him that will be playing in the NFL soon. What happens at Colorado after that will be helpful in determining how good of a coach he is.

But I doubt he will stick around in Colorado for us to find out.

Yes. He's a good ööööing coach. Colorado is lucky to have him.
