The latest from Howell.
Looks like HCMM can still get $250K this year in bonuses by winning out.
If that isn't a "set the table" piece to fire MikMac, I don't know what one is.

RG is getting out in front of this. He is gonna can MikMac.That tidbit about the extension is interesting.

While I think Chev is clearly over his skis, I don't know that he hasn't tried to work it over the middle. We aren't in the QB room or offensive meetings. Couple plays down in Tucson where players had a couple a steps on crossing routes and QB was either about to be killed, or rolled out of the pocket instead of stepping up into the pocket.I'm not saying change the entire system for Bounds, but instead of saying, "We still need to utilize the middle of the field, so let's try Viska or Winfree as a bigger matchup problem as a tight slot or H-Back role", Chev just decided to completely throw away anything and everything that threatened the middle of the field.
TL/DR - Chev's system sucks.
Hey now, let's not get carried away.That being said, the offense is bad, boing, bland and predictable. Heck, I'd even take a QB sneak on first and ten just to mix it up.
If he wanted to make the middle of the field a priority, he would. A few plays here and there not connecting because of whatever is no excuse for basically having a third of the field not being used for the vast majority of the season.While I think Chev is clearly over his skis, I don't know that he hasn't tried to work it over the middle.

So we would owe Mac $9.375M. With the assumption of offset, due to employment, you can probably assume a reduction of that total buyout to $3-4M
Quote the of week
Colorado QB Steven Montez, when asked about signing autographs and talking with kids Saturday, despite the disappointment of a bad loss for the Buffaloes:
"As crazy as it sounds, I remember what it's like to be one of those kids. I remember when I saw Andrew Luck at Stanford and I remember trying to shake his hand and try to meet him. I was kind of blown away. I was meeting these guys that you look up to. Kids, they go out there and they want to watch the game and they want to watch football and they have guys they look up to. Whether we win or lose it doesn't really matter (to them). Those kids are here to support us, so I'm going to definitely show them love whenever I can."
Very classy move and answer from Montez. He gets it.
Howell certainly seems to be hinting that Mike Mac is most likely gone.Uncharacteristically harsh by Howell. I like it.
Logically, there's just no way you can keep him.Howell certainly seems to be hinting that Mike Mac is most likely gone.
Even if CU does win out, you would be keeping a coach that has won a little less than 30% of his conference games over a six year span. After year four with a great run, you could ignore the W-L because the trajectory was upward. Somehow MikMac has manages to get right back in the cellar. Time to move on, you can't keep him if you want to be taken seriously in the P12.Let's say he defies the odds and goes 7-5. Then he wins his bowl game to go 8-5.
I believe if that happened that MM would make that change for us. He doesn’t want to be here if he can get something at least somewhat equivalent elsewhere.If we somehow won the next two and the bowl game, I very seriously doubt any change would be made. But I obviously don’t think that’s all going to happen.

Such a bummer he didn’t go to Ole Miss last year, they took note of how bad he finished the season with CU and said no thanksI believe if that happened that MM would make that change for us. He doesn’t want to be here if he can get something at least somewhat equivalent elsewhere.

Seems like he knows he's probably gone about as far as he can go here, and with J-Mac graduating, this is as good a time as ever to move on-he wins out and he can probably go after Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, or maybe even Maryland. Anything short of that and we're going to move on from him and he'll get to go back and coach in at the Group of 5 level. Record notwithstanding, he had a huge 2012 at SJSU and he's definitely going to leave this place a lot better off than it was the day he got here. I think he's very well thought of nationally and I don't think he'll have much trouble getting another gig.

Unless a coach is really trying to say **** you to his pervious school, they don't and will not do this (we usually call this pulling a Pelini).Adding to those points, schools could get him pretty cheap for three years. Due to the buyout, CU would have to pay the difference between what he would make and about $3.3M/year (if I understand it right).
Ah, there it is. The baseless claim that MM had a chance to go to Ole Miss returns. It was said last year and I'll say it again, unless something popped up in the last year that I am unaware of, there is no actual evidence he interviewed for that job.
Pour me a glass of whatever you're drinking; I want in on this dream.My best case scenario (with a heavy dose of reality thrown in) is that we lose the Utah game (that’s the reality part, not necessarily the best case scenario part), and MM is let go the following day. The team rallies behind whoever the interim is and wins the last game at Cal. Then goes to a bowl game and wins. Halfway into bowl preparations, Les Miles is is introduced as the new head coach. He is able to sell recruits a bowl team and improved coaching. We head into 2019 with Montez, Shenault, and a solid staff who knows what they’re doing.
I can dream.
It would actually be interesting to see a non-MM driven gameplan from both Chev & Eliot.My best case scenario (with a heavy dose of reality thrown in) is that we lose the Utah game (that’s the reality part, not necessarily the best case scenario part), and MM is let go the following day.
