I think colorado is the only college job that Ritz even picks up the phone and listens to the call for before he declines and stays where he is at.
I have no idea if Wetmore is leaving, but the obvious call for CU would be to Mike Smith. Exceedingly successful at a distance focused school, familiar with altitude and prestige wise would be a promotion for him (obviously NAU has been more successful lately, but CU is still a more prestigious job overall). Im not sure he leaves NAU as he seems really happy at Flagstaff, but that is a much more realistic option than Ritz.
Flagstaff is a thousand times better for training than Boulder, and I say this as someone who ran for CU and in Boulder for five years some time back. I'll coach, I've got the Lydiard stuff down. Personally I run slow and as long as I can nearly every time out, faster once in a blue moon if I feel okay. We're also a coaching family.
