CU fans should embrace the stability of Mike MacIntyre

I'm ambivalent about Mac, but I think a 3rd year change would be a mistake. As much as we hate hearing it, we are very close. And next year he has no excuse for not getting to a bowl game IMO...that's a make or break year for him I think.

I think he'll be here for awhile...I see him having a banner year next year with a lot of seniors, etc...but he's been building something here that is starting to look a little exciting.

Macintyre has a 2-21 conference record, period. Even those two wins came against teams who were/are a combined 0-14 in conference. If this hasn't improved by the end of the season then it's time to move-on.
Some broad flimsy idea about how we can't change coaches every few years is ridiculous, why can't we? Sure continuity is nice but there has to be some logic in maintaining the status quo. Continuity simply for the sake of continuity is a stupid idea. Why delay the inevitable? If we're supposed to "embrace the stability of Macintyre" as the thread title suggests then a byproduct of this would mean embracing his suckiness as well...
I understand he inherited a difficult situation and I certainly didn't expect for there to be a massive turnaround at this point. However if you told me when he was hired that nearly three years later his best win would be against a 7-6 CSU team, that's not acceptable progress nor is it unfair to expect better.

Not necessarily. One thing MM has done is he's retained guys. Previous coaches couldn't maintain their rosters even when they weren't on the verge of getting fired, so when the next coach came in it would take a few years just to fill holes with bodies, let alone talent.
If a new coach came in this winter, they'd have a decent foundation to build off of, if they could keep a lot of the current team in town.

Watched the CU game followed by Utah Washington. I felt really good after UCLA. I now feel the inability to recruit at the same level as our conference brethren is showing. We are exposed by physical line play on both sides and speed with size at skill positions. This staff needs to close on this recruiting class and add to it.
Honestly, I'd be fine with RG making a change IF he has an idea of direction he's looking at. We quit yesterday, that bothers me.
Define "banner year."

Probably running onto the field under a banner that says, "Open tryouts at Folsom This Season!"
Mac needs to go. We may be getting better, but it's not enough. Look at the teams we beat this year. They're awful. And two of the wins were struggles. One in OT and one against a horrible team playing a freshman QB. Put me firmly in the FIREMAC camp.

Doubling our conference wins?
Hmmmm, Embrace the stability...... Seems CU tried the stability route with Hawkins, which also produced stability of losing, poor recruiting and new excuses every week. Sounds familiar to me. The only stability and consistency CU has had in the past dozen years is poor coaching and recruiting. I would take someone who immediately makes an impact and recruits at a high level over any stability HCMM has shown. You can count the D1 wins on one hand in three years, that is NOT the stability I am rallying around. #LeavittForCUHC.com
