It's not that I disagree with it. It's the notion that you can speculate as to what RG may say or do, but you tell others to stop it. Unless you have a close relationship with RG (and it's evident that you don't), it's a bad schtick.An athletic director keeping a head coach around but choosing the assistant coaches for him? That doesn't happen, nor should it.
I am interested in the ambiguity of this conversation.
I wouldn't go so far as to say ASU was winnable.
I don't know if it was or wasn't. The sad point is that the Buffs didn't give themselves a chance to find out.
Agree completely. I was at the game. Look at the final stats. Take out the two fluke plays and clean up the mistakes this comes down to the last 5 minutes. But that has been the story of us10pts off turnovers
7pts off ST mistakes
14pts off pure dumb luck.
Thats 31 pts and the margin of victory was 25.
CU needs to find a way to cut the **** and play disciplined football.
IMO, there's a difference between speculating how many conference wins MM must get in order to keep his job, and saying that an Athletic Director would keep a head coach in place but do the hiring of new assistants for him. The latter would just be absurd.It's not that I disagree with it. It's the notion that you can speculate as to what RG may say or do, but you tell others to stop it.

So from the sounds of things, the AD is now going into bunker mentality. We've seen this play before. It has a crappy ending.
Honestly, I realize that the hole MM was given to dig out of was massive, but it's too much to ask fans to be patient this long. Yesterday's game was reminiscent of the 2012 ASU game. We got our asses kicked. Fans who spend money and invest their emotions in this program can be excused for venting some frustrations.
I have said that MM will not be fired this year, and I still believe that. But I think the fans are going to start to get pretty vocal about wanting a change if we can't see some tangible progress here soon. When that happened with GB, Hawk, and Embree, the standard response from the AD was to turtle. I'm starting to see some of the same stuff happening now.
Wut?!The three things that have me concerned:
1. Player quote of coach in tears after CSU win.
2. Coach confrontation on sideline.
3. This thread.
Seems the pressure is high

Assume Witherspoon caught the guy. ASU still may have drive in.
Assume we tackle their guy after the fumble. They may still drive in.
Our scoring defense isn't too great I'm thinking.
This reasoning is too hawkinsesuqe for me. 5 plays away from keeping it within a TD! Wtf
Macintyre will not be fired after this season. What coach in his right mind would even contemplate leaving a program to join ours if we fire again? Time will tell, but we have gotten progressively better as an overal team since 2012. We have to find a rockstar qb, and that changes the program. Hopefully Aspay can become that guy.
I'm not sure if these guys can use both hands or not, but they sure are confusing.I am interested in the ambiguity of this conversation.
This class isn't good enough to want to save.Howell acknowledged in his chat today that its hard to justify keep MacIntyre after back to back 0-9 conference campaigns. Said RG will be patient at 5 wins. I said this last night-if theres any doubt at the end of the year, he needs to go now. We can save the bulk of this class assuredly by handing the reins to Leavitt......
Every single coach that we fired deserved to be fired, including the next one. If a prospective coach cant see that, then he is not intelligent enough to be successful here. As for getting progressively better, I guess that is subjective. The biggest issue a new coach will have with CU is the lack of talent left by poor recruiting.Macintyre will not be fired after this season.

Would you go dust off that old sweatshirt you got hanging in your closet and save us already!!Every single coach that we fired deserved to be fired, including the next one.

I know this is an over simplification, but as long as we don't run a QB sneak on 1st down from mid field, we're an improved team.Every single coach that we fired deserved to be fired, including the next one.

You lost me here.A bunch of coaches would, to get paid a couple mill a year. Our $170 million facilities will be done. That's enough to contemplate, imo.
Plus, it's not like MM wasn't given enough time. He's at the point where he can't land quality assistant coaches to fix his problems because they know his end might be soon.
He's in the process of missing the window. He either wins 2-3 conference games this year, or he's done.
You lost me here.
The word you're looking for is "ambidexterity," Reagan.I'm not sure if these guys can use both hands or not, but they sure are confusing.
Easy for you to say, Carter!The word you're looking for is "ambidexterity," Reagan.
You are speculating and stating it as a fact. He landed 2 extraordinary assistants last off-season; If the money and positions are right, there will be plenty of takers.I think he'll have trouble landing quality assistants this offseason, depending on how the season finishes out. Year 4 would definitely be the make or break year and most assistants with options won't want to take that risk.
No.I think it is important that we bite the bullet and give Mac a full 5 years
