And we have a new stadium.Minnesota can afford to pay more money. That probably counts for something.

Minnesota and it's not even close. Facilities, financial capacity, recent recruiting, etc.

Colorado is somewhat hamstrung by many of the same things we are, most notably a definite sense of tension between the football program and some of the ultra-liberal faculty who resent football and the money it receives (while apparently failing to note the income that football also generates for the school).
I'd say that's even worse in the Peoples Republic of Boulder. I mean there is some serious resentment there bordering on active dislike, and that's only been exacerbated by the problems that Neuheisel and Barnett had at the school. The forces of political correctness are just incredibly strong in Boulder, so my opinion is that Leach would probably fit in there like a sore thumb.

Colorado is possibly more appealing in terms of the weather
WTF?
Have you never heard of the Rocky Mountains? It tends to get cold and snowy up there.
It doesn't get nearly as cold there as here and while it snows more, in the foothills it tends to melt pretty fast. They also have more days of sunshine per year then here.
Who is more likely to have a blizzard during the football season? Boulder or Minneapolis?
Weather doesn't matter in the offseason (you never have to go outside).
Does Boulder get more snow yes, does it melt pretty quickly, yes. Is it warmer than Minneapolis, yes. You also seem to be equating the snowfall in Denver and Boulder to that of Vail for instance and they are vastly different. A ton more snow in the mountains than in the foothills of Boulder.
No kidding they don't get as much snow as Vail. The only reason weather would affect any hire is if they thought it would negatively affect their football team. I am saying bad weather is more likely to effect a Colorado home football game than a Minnesota home football game.
Minneapolis actually gets more snowfall on average than Boulder and it is colder than Boulder, so there goes your weather argument.
Neither gets consistent snowfall in November. Who is more likely to get a freak blizzard?
I am also on record as saying weather has no impact on how attractive the Minnesota job is, so there really isn't a weather argument.
I can pretty much tell you with 100% certainty, Leach's favorite job offer is the one that offers him the most money.I don't know which has a higher likelihood of a blizzard in November, but feel free to share if you can find it out with data to back it up. In regards to Leach and his thoughts on the weather, who knows. I do know he moved to the Florida Keys upon leaving Lubbock and stated how much he liked the laid back beach lifestyle there. He may not like any of these jobs who knows, maybe the Arizona State job or Miami job will open soon.

If that was the case then why didnt he leave Texas Tech earlier, he could have made more money elsewhere a lot earlier? He wasn't making that much money at Texas Tech, especially prior to his last season.

To answer GopherGod and Rosemountian's argument, Boulder is more likely to get a blizzard in November. But Boulder is also more likely to get a 75-degree day in November.
Amazingly, we have not had a snowflake yet in Denver (and the 10-day forecast says sunny every day). I don't think this is a normal fall.
