MiM was more experienced. Why is he mad?

So... If we paid Embree more, we would have won more games?
Probably. Think of all the water bottles and chairs he could have bought. Maybe a teak desk too.
Listening to Big Al last night, and Mike Evans (a/k/a "Klatt's mouthpiece") this morning, it is clear that the former-Buff narrative now is this:
"I'm not going to say its a bad hire, but Bohn promised a BCS-level coach, and we got Mike MacIntyre. Bohn isn't getting it done".
Since their gripes against Bohn for firing Embree didn't gain any traction, they are now trying to turn the fans against the AD for failing to land a top-tier BCS coach. I think the criticism is fair (since Bohn reportedly wanted a current BCS coach), but the feigned anger on the subject is nearly laughable.
I would have a lot more respect for them if they just said what they're feeling = "Embree was a good friend of mine. I think he was the right person to continue to lead the Buffs, and I'm angry that Bohn didn't give him the necessary amount of time to get it done". We could then debate the merits of the argument, but the vendetta is getting silly.
I think it's humorous that the Embree supports are bashing Bohn for hiring the MacIntyre who doesn't have experience as a head coach at a BCS school... You have to wonder if the irony is getting thorough to them. Probably not.
Not to mention, his coaching record is a big reason we couldnt get a sniff from higher profile coaches. Losing to csu, sac state, and getting clobbered by Fresno has led people to believe that our facilities consist of a Total Gym that the players have to work in on. JE's coaching has made more than himself look bad. I cant stand when people dont admit that they are part of the problem.

It probably has a lot more to do with a number of listeners and perhaps advertisers telling the station to take him off the air.I wonder if Joel's "vacation" has anything to do with being called out publicly by Plati asking him to know his subject matter before attacking Colorado.
think about this little gem-
under Embree ... CU only won 1 game in Folsom Field
YOU ARE MAKING MY POINT!!!!! heh, probably.It probably has a lot more to do with a number of listeners and perhaps advertisers telling the station to take him off the air.
Even worse- I can't even remember which game it was!
Arizona, last year?
What this whole situation shows me is how badly the local media market is skewed toward pro sports. It is not a shock and I knew it was the case, but the outright ignorance of college football matters is incredible.
Mike Evans is an idot. you could train a parrot to do his job.
