To be honest, I think he's done the 2nd most impressive coaching job in the G5. I can't say I'm not impressed, but I'd prefer to watch that experiment from far far away.

I'd love to see him at Nebraska. Would be hilarious to see those fans (most of whom are Frank Solich type personalities) try to embrace Lane's schtick while their internet troll army talks up the Florida and California recruiting ties that will return the Nubs to glory. He was born in Lincoln. It could happen after Frost takes the UF job.
Is Chip beholden to Nike for any reason other than his relationship with Knight?
Dear baby Jesus, please let this happen.
I don't think so, but there is always the possibility of Nike/Knight throwing extra money at him to b. land at a Nike school that a. is in a different conference than Oregon.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he gets a P5 job this year with the quick success he's had at FAU. Arkansas and Mississippi State sound like good possibilities for him.

It will be interesting to see if he goes or not to Miss. I really think the events and results of the Tumpkin issue pissed him off. I think it may be time he leaves anyway so this may be the best outcome for both sides. CU is in much better shape to attract a HC and staff than when MM was hired. Wonder how quickly it could happen? Depends on the bowl game situation I guess.
He'll recruit. Of course, that was never the problem under Graham. It would kind of be replacing Graham with Graham in a lot of ways.
FootballScoop report on the Ole Miss job reads to me like MacIntyre is a very strong possibility.
http://footballscoop.com/news/situation-ole-miss-wednesday-november-22/
Based on conversations with those in the profession, here’s what we do know about the Ole Miss search: the Rebels are looking for a program-builder, one that will be given the full support of the administration to construct his program in his image. Although it remains to be seen if one might accept, it is our understanding Ole Miss has been having conversations with representatives of current Power 5 head coaches, in addition to plenty of Group of 5 head coaches.
Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre reportedly wants the job as does UTSA’s Frank Wilson.
MacIntyre won six games in his first two seasons at San Jose State, then won 10 in 2012 and moved on to Colorado. In Mac’s first three seasons in Boulder the Buffs won 10 games, then (with Jim Leavitt’s help) they won 10 in 2016. The Buffs (currently 5-6) close out their regular season Saturday at Utah.

So, who then ends up with the top two jobs that leaves open: Florida State and Colorado?

I wouldn't mind one bit if Chad Morris found his way here.

The article implies Mullen to FSU in the bit on Tennessee choosing Campbell. No love whatsoever for CU.

One year too late and I wouldn't be mad if MM bolts but man, imagine if JMFL was our head coach, we'd be on track to be a hell of a football team
Oh brother.
I don't really like the timing of it but that's me.

It's pretty obvious MM has one foot out the door, if you're already looking and showing interest for another head coaching job before the season is over, that's a problem.

Is he looking or is this just idle speculation?
My response was more about the JL comment.
I'm sure all you MM haters will find another reason to hate CU football when he is gone.
I was wondering where Mullen was on that list

No. Wait for it. Co-Head Coaches.
I got the feeling Chiv was the coach in waiting and that Mac would split after his son graduated. The contract extension was strictly to line our pockets with buyout money for the next coach’s salary (around $2.5 - $3 mil a year for 4 years, etc).
Felt like JL and Chiv were both forced on MM by AD George; totally fine with that by the way. I like MM but he isn’t George’s guy. I also don’t think Chiv is “ready,” but I definitely think the potential is there in a few years.
Okay, how nuts am I?

I don't think "forced" is the right word. I haven't heard that the relationship was that adversarial or that RG wasn't supportive or that he didn't treat MM like he was his coach. Certain things, certain terminations and certain hires were definitely encouraged, though. The past 11 months have been more challenging, too, with the Tumpkin thing and its aftermath.
