Hey Moe,
Dave Logan: Renaissance Sports Man.
Yeah, I know him reasonably well. Outstanding guy. He was the color commentator on our Bronco Pre-Season, high school championship and CU Football Games. He is presently the radio voice of the Denver Broncos. He is incredibly bright, well spoken and has an encyclopedic knowledge of sports. I tried to get NBC interested in him, but for some reason they never bit. He now does a SportsTalk radio show on KOA which is heard in thirty-eight states.
If that weren't enough, though, he also is TV Spokesman for a bank, and coachs high school football on the side. A couple of years ago, his team won the 5A (Big School) Colorado State Championship.
He is a CU alum, having lettered in both Football and Basketball and was All America in the former (and maybe the latter, I don't remember for sure). He is a natural athlete, obviously. He played for a number of years as a "go to" receiver for the Cleveland Browns and ended his pro career with the Broncos.
He is an initiate of the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.
He is a hell of a high school football coach, but that sometimes doesn't translate to college just as a great college coach dosen't necessarily make a good pro coach.
All in all, I think that Logan would be a great candidate. He is well known and liked by local fans and media. He is local, and has been for years, which may be a plus in a case like this in these days when many coaches are little more than carpetbaggers. I think locals have confidence in and trust him.
If it turns out that he isn't a great college coach, he probably couldn't leave the program any worse than it is. So, in a few years, they hire someone else.
He's so smart, though, that I have a feeling he could be a great college coach.
