It's this kind of stuff that makes me like MacIntyre

Meh, MM knows he has to win. He also knows (now if not when he was hired) that he needs to recruit better players--better players than Duke needs in the ACC. Either he'll do that or he won't be around too long.

The players he's recruiting now won't help him save his job.

That's why some of us were so upset by his first 3 classes

I am looking at the CU coaching job from the perspective of a healthcare model following an accident.

The first responder does the triage.
Then you get an ER doctor that stabilizes the patient. Then the patient is handed over to the surgeons that deal with reconstructing and removing pathogens. Finally you are handed back to a general practitioner who manages rehab and ongoing general health.

As a patient, you do not want the same doctor to handle all of these different roles.

MacIntyre was hired as a turn-around artist. Using this doctor metaphor, Mac is the ER doc who is stabilizing the program.

At some point soon CU needs a specialist who can recruit with surgical precision in recruiting hotbeds. This person needs to be hired for having a network/Rolodex with highschool coaches and a staff of recruiters who know how to identify a stud prospect and then charm the family into getting a bunch of football unicorns to come to Boulder.

I see Art Briles as the quintessential prototype as a recruiting specialist. Every HS coach in Texas will take a call from Art. How else could players willfully agree to play ball in the ****hole that is Waco? (By no means is this an endorsement of Briles moral character following the inexcusable Sam Ukwuachu rape coverup).

No matter how long CU gives Mac, he simply will not out recruit Briles in Texas. We need someone who can out recruit 9 out of 12 other PAC12 coaches in Southern Cal and lock the borders down in Colorado. I just don't see how MacIntyre will become that man given his track record.

I thank MacIntyre for saving the program from death. But I don't think he is the person who has the connections and gravity to recruit at the level CU needs to take things to the next level.

That guys name is Ed Orgeron

What has he accomplished that makes you think he'd be a great HC?
