“I get it. Everybody wants to see us fall on our faces. No doubt,” O’Boyle said. “We’re getting pounded by all the other schools asking players, ‘Why are you going to Colorado? They are not established, etc.’ We know we have five million eyes on us, so we are not going to do anything out of line. But at the end of the day, when you play with that chip on your shoulder, you are a different cat. And those are the cats we want. We are going to get this thing done right.”
It’s clear that Sanders has imposed his personality on the rest of the staff in Boulder.
“He made it clear that we will do whatever it took to get better,” O’Boyle said. “He said it from the first staff meeting to our last meeting in spring ball right before the spring game. If he says something is going to happen, it usually happens. He’s that kind of guy. Coach Prime gave those kids a chance up through spring ball up until the last day to make it. Then the real decisions were made.”
As for why those decisions occurred so late? O’Boyle said there was no other way.
“The personnel was so bad here by the time we even got in pads, we knew some kids weren’t going to be with us post-spring,” he said. “We had to do what we did. And that’s why people don’t get it. I don’t how people ride our asses about it. We didn’t have a choice. I run into guys on the road that played us and tell us the same thing. Anybody that knows Colorado football knows this had to be done. And it’s a shame we had to get to this point, but we didn’t have a choice.”

Such an interesting situation, cool to see him return bigger (240 -> 270 pounds) and play for a likely more successful Buffs' team. Main began his college career at Independence (Kan.) Community College. Then he transferred to Incarnate Word, playing in 2019. At Incarnate Word he suffered a shoulder injury and wasn't picked up for the 2021 fall season.
Last year, Colorado offered him a spot and he started in all 12 games. He has a three-star rivals transfer rating.
Brian Howell of the Boulder Daily Camera talked to Main recently. Howell details the hectic journey Main experienced after the 2022 season.
