Before it signed Deion Sanders, CU went through a long line of coaches...and a lot of cash.
Bill McCartney got off to a slow start but eventually picked up the pace. He strategically recruited inner-city Black athletes who scored on the field but had trouble in the largely lily-white city of Boulder. story, eighteen athletes on the 1987 roster alone were arrested and 65 were contacted by police. Their alleged, and often substantiated, crimes included trespassing, sexual assault, drunk driving and more.
In 1992, he got in hot water again when he was accused of passing out Bibles with the CU logo on the cover. He was vehemently anti-gay, throwing his support behind Colorado for Family Values, which pushed Amendment 2, a ban on laws protecting gay people from discrimination. Colorado's student-body president.
“By now, football fans and astonished bystanders also know about the bizarre flip side of McCartney's success,” Bill Gallo wrote for. “About assorted lettermen who popped up in handcuffs at the Boulder police station almost as often as they did at football practice. … And the head coach's increasing devotion to fundamentalist Christianity.”
Next came Jon Embree, the school’s first Black head coach. Embree was a disappointment on the field, coaching the team to a 4-21 record during his two seasons. Still, McCartney argued that Embree should have been given more time to build the program before being let go, saying he suspected a white head coach would have been given much more leeway .
One bonus: For the first time since 1988, the school didn’t have to fork over any cash to a departing head football coach. Instead, Michigan State bought out Tucker's contract and covered a $2.5 million tax liability.partway through the 2022 football season, the team hadn't won a single game. Even so, CU owed him a total of $8.7 million.
