Kiszla: In search for winning football coach, CU Buffs should steal old page from (gulp!) the CSU playbook

Let’s start with a message of hope: The Colorado Buffaloes can be winners in football. It won’t take a miracle, or even require throwing millions of dollars at CU alum Eric Bieniemy. Athletic director Rick George is a rock star, and he is far more important to future success than Mel Tucker ever was.

But the first steps toward a victory parade for Ralphie are forgiveness and humility.

Hey, CU. Are you ready to do these hard things?

Rather than curse Tucker for slipping out of Boulder under the cover of darkness to cash a lottery ticket at Michigan State, the Buffs should kiss him on the cheek and offer humble thanks.
