:rofl2:
Are you sure you posted in the right thread? I'm pretty sure you meant to post that here
Sorry for the confusion. By "good school", he meant a general category of schools that have at least an 80 yard practice field. Again, apologies.
Decent P5 job offering and McElwain is gone, he's in a position not to jump at a job that is a no-hoper for the sake of career advancement, but he's gone if the right gig comes open.
Much like our concern over Boyle though, the blue bloods (or those like Nebraska that think it) aren't coming for McElwain just yet.

Tennessee isn't an elite but rumors have Jones connected to Michigan. South Carolina isn't elite but Spurrier is up in age and could retire at any time.
Sonny Dykes is on an ever shorter leash at Cal, Rutgers and Purdue want to win more than they are. A number of ACC schools aren't pleased with current standings.
Then you add that Michigan and Florida are likely to hire somebody who is already winning in a P5 program creating those opening.
McElwain isn't staying in Ft. Collins in favor of any of those options.
No He isn't.
He had a bad season last year and was considered a questionable hire, but has since stormed out of the gate this year, quieted all of his team chemistry issues and has Cal playing exciting ball, he could lose every game for the rest of the year and not face a hot seat for next year.
You are right in that after last year he has done surprisingly well. Very rare that a coach loses a team and ever gets it back and it looks like Dykes has done just that.
At the same time I'm not sure that he has turned the corner entirely. After last year if he loses it again I could see him being out the door. Not saying it's going to happen but they have lost 2 in a row and now face Oregon, a well coached Oregon State team on the road and SC on the road followed by Stanford.
After what happened last year it could very well turn ugly again.
It could also not.
Dykes is in the clear and add to that Cal is in less than NO position to go buying out anyone right now, especially not Dykes and McElwain at the same time.
Speaking of "off the bandwagon," I was listening to Irv today on the way back from lunch. He gets a lot of old codgers who call in. Even older than me. An old codger asked Irv what he thought of Mac. Irv said, "Well, I haven't seen any improvement. They are not improving." Then it happened. The old codger asked Irv if he's seen the Cherry Creek vs "Valory" Christian. He said, "That Dave Logan is a helluva coach, don't ya think, Irv? So, if McIntyre doesn't get it done, do you think they'd consider hiring Dave Logan?" :sad2:
Buffenuf
massive tool
First: Older? Unpossible!
Second: Irv's kid, Greg Brown was part of that WB & CO horrible hot mess, as the DC who was using 70's defensive schemes to defend 2010 spread offenses (plus Irv is still PO'ed that Arnold Weber dropped basesball and his HC position at CU). Like the rest of the Denver media pack, Irv and Joe are in love with Sparkles up in Ft Fun.
If you asked them to analyze a current commit I doubt the could name more than lynott

Welcome back
I'm sure your right about that. I just meant they harp on the fact they believe it is all about the talent first. They've also seen a lot more ups and downs at CU than most of us posting here.
25 years ago this would be true. At this point I doubt either one could name 10 players on CU's roster much less talk coherently (well they can't do that anyways, let try factually) about specific recruits or needs.
But they can still sing "Sunrise, sunset" or whatever ads they are still doing. Do they still have Scott's Liquid Gold? Started in a garage on Garfield Street.
I like 'em because they talk college football. And they, especially Joe, know college football. But I've noticed that they have less and less interest in and knowledge of what is happening up in Boulder. I'm not sure if they've even interviewed Mac. Maybe they've just lost interest like most fair weather types of fans. "Call me when you're winning."

Yeah, realized that after posting. However, that also means we need 7 wins, not 6.
Really? The SEC isn't gonna take them. The All Criminals Conference might.
Sorry my response was pretty douchy. Next year won't be easy, but MacIntyre needs to get it done and earn his pay.
UCF is not getting into the ACC. Ever.
Shut the **** up slider. No one is in the mood for your ****.
Truth hurts bruh
You're right.
