and he has said in the national media that he wants the job!
after he took Northwestern to the Rose Bowl, he was offered a lot of jobs like
UCLA. He stayed, the only reason he went to Colorado was because it was his dream job. Also, at 61, he prob would stay.
I agree with Thad. This is a test balloon to see how alumni, faculty, and other interested parties will react to this candidate. Search firm scours PF.com, Orsini receives phone calls. All to see if Barnett can fly here. Brilliant move by the O.
I think Barnett got caught up in the very PC U. CO enviroment. There were no formal charges ever brought against him or anybody on his staff. While his comments about the female kicker were unfortunate, as I recall this was more a reaction to the fact she made her allegations several years after the alleged incidents occured and during the time the recruit-stripper allegations were being made. He was fired and bought out by CO because he stared losing games not because of the allegations. I would love to see him at SMU.
