Oh that's definitely true, and he screwed up a pretty sweet deal for himself when he thought he would be the new coach at Ole Miss. Get him out of here.

Someone clearly wants us to remain in the pit of misery. Anyone want to own that vote for 'A'? 
Schedule is favorable. Pressure will be on HCMM to win...maybe he didn't feel that pressure during this recent season thanks to that new contract. We know what a little pressure could do (2016 season).

So much non substantiated insights into Macs wanting to leave here. I wonder why he even bothers leading his life when you all here do his thinking for him.

That ship has sailed. Matt Luke is their new HC.

WTF?
I envy you. Your potential for personal growth is immense if you ever figure out and apply the concept of how to set aspirational goals.
Actually, I have no idea how it ends. There's so much movement in the coaching ranks this year that there's at least a possibility that MM moves on to another program. It's probably more likely that he's here next season. If so, it's in his interest to win games, so I would expect him to try to do so.
Hey - lookie there! You can actually see who voted for what... This technology thing is amazing! Now back to my slide rule.

My money was on BuffSurveyor. Who in the world posts on another fan board when the two teams haven't played each other for 7 years?
That peckerwood, id lay a bet on that.
If I could talk to MM for one hour I could convince him to quit. You'd have to appeal to his somewhat patrician sense of Southern righteousness and personal honor. After that, finding his $$ walk-away number would be easy and surprisingly reasonable IMO. Also JMHO, MM grew up in a quasi-gilded genteel world and this present angst/visceral disappointment is grinding him down hard.

PAHI: "You should be ashamed at going 5-7 after CU paid you that American middle class salary."
We'll see how this week shakes out. It's possible Mason at Vandy could leave, opening the door for MM there. Maybe Memphis if/when Norvell leaves. Both of those would still force CU to pay him the difference in salary, as both would be far lower than what he's making now, but if both sides truly want a divorce, I'm sure they'll figure out a way to make the money work. There has to be a program willing, though.
There is still a lot of movement to be done, so a small chance that MM could still be hired away. So I still have a small hope that this happens.
However, if everything we know is true and nothing gets fixed in the off-season, 2018 could get real bad. The CU AD and MM need to have a serious talk about what is going on with the future of the football program (which they will). MM needs to be honest in his approach (which I think he will) and either give full support to CU and the football program, or there needs to be hard talks of a mutual parting of ways.
I just can't fathom MM throwing an entire season away (especially with how MM talks about players and having such a strong personal relationship with them). MM is a good man and a good coach, IMO. He has areas that needs major improvement, so if he is the coach for 2018, this absolutely has to be fixed. If none of this gets fixed and he goes through the motions, then you have to question everything that he stands for. I understand his frustration with how 2016 ended and the whole Tumpkin ordeal, but he either needs to find a mutual parting of ways, or reestablish himself as CU's coach and make those hard decisions on assistant coaches.
Gonna be a long month or so. Let's hope this tilts in CU's favor for once.

Picked 3rd option but leaning to 2 if he does not find another position. Changes in staff, hope he gets 7-8 wins next year, a bowl and he parlays that to accepting a different job at the end of 2018
Edit: I am ok with option 4 but it will not happen. They went to the Regents and got his extension approved after all of the Tumpkin BS last Summer. There is no way that they are going to go back now an say we will pay him $12M to go away. Politics just will be too much to go this route. He will not be fired this year.

I'm torn.
Reading that he might have interviewed with Ole Miss during the bye week, in my opinion, leads me to think he really doens't want to be here.
If that's the case, I say do anything to get rid of him. You can't be successful in an area you don't want to be in.
However, if that's not the case, I think he deserves one more season. We know exactly what he can do with the right personnel, but I don't think we have
the right personnel right now. We need a new D coordinator, maybe O line/D line coaches as well.
This season is a bit of a rebuilding year, and I think we have some good players coming up. I think if Mac commits himself to CU he'll be good to have around. THat, however, is what is in doubt. I'm sick of seasons without bowls like the rest of us.

The sentiment of the board has gone overly negative. Not a great year, need staff changes, but I still believe MacIntyre is a solid coach.
For those that prefer to “start fresh”, I can live with that too. Let’s not paint MacIntyre as some rube that lucked into national assistant coach of the year and national head coach of the year. If that’s the case, he’s the second luckiest man alive.
