Anyone else worried that UCLA might make a run at MacIntyre?

I don't see MacIntyre being interested in a job like UCLA.

CU has put forth some substantial evidence the last couple years that they are serious about football. UCLA is interesting but is it really a better situation than Boulder?

I don't think he's going anywhere that isn't a legit top 10 candidate program, and then likely in the SEC.

Remember that even with last year he is still well below .500 at the P5 level. He hasn't won a P5 league title and hasn't won a bowl game at a P5 school.

The kind of schools that might be of real interest to him are not going to hire a coach with those gaps in the resume. I'm not worried at all.

Give him another couple years of success then we may need to start worrying but for him to be interesting to those schools he needs to have the kind of success here that is hard to leave behind. If we have that kind of success I also think RG will be able to find some donors to sweeten the pot and at least make staying more financially interesting as well.

I think the more important question is, why in the hell did you choose "Hunchback Quaker" for your handle?

What hump?
 
Wow. Just two months ago half the university was calling for him to be fired. Are all fan bases this bi-polar?
 
Disregard all of this, I guess. This is what happens when there's nothing for me to worry about while watching football. I manufacture stress. Carry on
 
Does Mora take credit for that win?! His team was favored at home. Wow, what a game but I hope he coaches his team to a 28 point deficit against us....

Kind of appropriate that this aTm meltdown happened against UCLA, a team with a long history of losing games it shouldn't have.

True.

I watched most of this game. A&M was absolutely dominating for the first half. It looked like two teams that had no business being on the same field together. And just like their top 5 ranking early in the season last year, then it all vanished.
 
I hope Mora retires at UclA.


They may have times where they are good but overall with him at the helm I won't worry too much. The last thing I want is a proven head coach to take on the position.
 
Remember when we were all worried someone was going to come poach Tad after his first couple seasons?

Mtn hit it on the head. The schools he would bail for (big jump) he doesn't have the resume for yet. He has proved he can turn a program around but not sustain high level success yet. A couple more years like the last one and we might see that but in that case we'll be well established and back.

We have a few more years like LY and we'll have a replacement on staff we can promote and keep rolling with. As far as UCLA, Mora is still gone at the end of the year. They're going to lay an egg like they did in the first half last night in conference play, and he'll get axed after the bowl game. I'm more concerned about them or even one of the two Arizona schools hiring Chip Kelly.
 
As long as we pay him, he'll stay... Until (if) he gets a call from the NFL. 1. Cu has stepped up their game in terms of university support. 2. Cu has and always will be able to attract top talent.
I think he knows he has something special here, I just don't see him going to another school like UCLA or tx am or even a school like Texas.

Maybe it's just my (possibly skewed) view of his character. I think (hope) he knows the grass isn't always greener.

I don't think the NFL is a concern. I'd be more worried about a job in the south at a school that actually values the student part of student-athlete. Could see him at one of the places his dad coached and he attended: Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech. Others on that list of P5 member & AAU member & South (like Virginia) would likely be appealing.

All the big jobs in the South are a concern.

They just got a bunch of money thanks to their UA contract and there are very few proven HC in the West right now. Call me paranoid, but they might go for him

Zero chance.

Personality doesn't fit city nor program.
Buyout still large despite money.
AD likes Mora.
They want a "name"

Sorry, I know it’s not really fair, just interesting how perspectives have changed from the start of the year...
