I believe it hinges on one thing, making a bowl game. CSU is a big hurdle in getting there. If we can't beat them, I don't see it. If we can't make a bowl game and go 6-6 to get there, Rick George or the next AD will have to say you had four years and didn't do what you needed. Problem is, next year is a monumental recruiting class. It is either the turning point of the program to get to Top 25 relevancy every year or it's another coaching transition class with wasted schollies on below Pac 12 level guys. We need to do what we have done more of this year and get Power 5 level kids.

The dreaded vote of confidence. I am actually less sure that he will now.

I have heard the regents approved to extend his contract to 5 years again about a month ago. I don't see MacIntyre going anywhere unless all 3 remaining games end up like Stanford.
As someone said, MacIntyre will make his bed by deciding who to retain and whom not to. He is going to have to purge more of his buddies. Only guys from original staff I like are Adams and Clark. Neinas and Lindgren should go. Bernardi and Jeffcoat haven't shown much to warrant keeping around.

True. I hope, if Mac were canned, the AD would pick a high-profile guy to mitigate the potential loss of recruits. Some guys pick a school based on coaches, which is kinda dumb cuz things change so much, other guys pick the program. Here's hoping most of our kids do the latter.

He needs to get kickass recruiters in here IMO...I'd pick a killer recruiter over a killer position coach any day of the week and Saturdays twice.
That would mean a 2-year extension which is extremely unlikely.

Welcome back
This. Would I rather RG stay? Yes. Am I that worried if he leaves? No, since I am confident there is other talent out there.
Where I am worried is if our leaders can actually identify and hire such talent.
I dont know what your saying here Liverhead. That group hired Gary Barnett. last I checked Barnett > all else*
You know who that asterisk is for....
I would much rather keep the guy we have than risk letting the admin go out and hire someone. They lucked into RG, they didn't even do a search they just knew about him and went with him. Worked out well but there is no reason to trust them to do anything.
Do you really think that RG is afraid of making a coaching hire or having one on his resume? These guys all have egos and whether he has done it before or not, I am sure he has hired and fired a lot of people during his career. While hiring coaches is a part of his job, it is only one piece. The work he has done in fundraising and getting the AD on solid ground is what will make him attractive.
I know it is only my opinion, but I would guess he is pretty confident in his ability to set up a process that will get a coach, a successful coach. While the guy is not perfect, he has been pretty damn successful in the areas that have been critical to CU. If he decides to fire MM, CU is in a lot better spot to attract higher level coaching prospects than 3 years ago. It comes from the commitment Benson has made and the program RG has put in place with that support.
His contract is automatically rolled over after each season, with the regents approval. Tad boyle has the same arrangement.
Bitsy was not the President when GB was hired, nor was Dr. Phil the Chancellor.
RG only extended Mac after the first year, not after last year. He only has 3 years left after this year.
Cracks me up, this frequent lumping of CU in with elite academic schools like Stanford, Cal, Duke, Northwestern, etc.
Likewise, your post cracks me up.
Guess we're all laughing then.
It seems like you and one other person are very confused about the Duke reference. That's okay.
IIRC, in the < 3 seasons that I've been following the Buffs, there's been three football games where tickets were given away to season ticket holders.
I think that was in reference to the AD stopping doing the 4 for $40 type deals they used to do, which undercut the prices that were paid by season ticket holders. The giveaways to season ticket holders aren't going to the general public, so at least the season ticket holders can decide how to use the freebies.
Nope, I got it.
The thing that really irks me is that Baylor is never included in that group.
CU is closer to Baylor than Stanford
curious why? do you believe Baylor's academics are at the same level as those schools? that's certainly never been my perception.
my bad. I suck at picking up sarcasm in print, unless there's an explicit sarcasm font or <sarcasm> tags. I guess I depend an abnormal amount on the vocal tone, facial expressions and other body language to convey sarcasm.
Yeah but those are given to season ticket holders, not to random people which pisses off season tickets holders. If anything it makes being a season ticket holder more valuable.
Hey, it's not easy to pick up on sarcasm online at times. Just knowing that nothing good would be said about Baylor on this site would help with the example above.
