Shouldn't have apparently entrusted Baer to recruit us 35 DL/LB that belong in the MWC. Or dare I wonder, Mac's eye for talent wasn't quite that incredible?

Got it. I think there was an error in your post that made it confusing.

I am most tired of CU fans who are all over the place in defending this staff...you are not giving up on the staff but want at least two of them fired, HUH? You did not say one thing in your post about why you think MacIntyre is the man for the job.
It is frustrating to watch. Because this is largely the same group that will be back next year. You really notice the talent differential between our front seven guys and the rest of the conference when you watch other teams week to week.
I don't give a wrinkled rat's fanny what the score is at the half. He sounds like a guy who knows his job is in serious jeopardy.
hard to get excited knowing most of this team will return next year. Senior Sefo.. offense minus Spruce.. another go on the OL from Bernardi.. I guess we get Tupuo back and hopefully Gillam. Meh.
Seeing Gamboa run around out there just depresses me. Nothing against him, he would probably be a decent MLB in the 90s when pass coverage and sideline to sideline pursuit wasn't the name of the game, but now.. eek.
Recruiting is no longer horrible, fyi

Relative to what? The slightest of upticks year/year.
I've come to appreciate Gamboa. He obviously isn't fast enough to be a P12 LB, but he plays with heart whistle-to-whistle. The other LB's do not.
obviously, I disagree. Do you not think you can have a good overall staff that could use improvement in one area? I like the staff overall. I think they can be even better if we bring in one or two coaches to recruit better. How is that all over the board? What I see so far is slow progress with enough positive signs to continue to support him rather than changing now. To be clear.
Positives I see:
Switching DC. Levitt and Tumpkin are big upgrades, especially considering Mmac's uncertainty at the time of hire.
Game day coaching is good. Maybe to conservative but overall good. Missed passes kill us.
Much Improved talent.
Team has fewer mental mistakes. Appear well prepared.
Fewer penalties.
Recruiting is better this year.
Mmac appears committed to turning us around. Honest, good guy who is unlikely to screw the program. I imagine he's good with boosters.
Experience in p5 conferences, NFL.
Players play hard for him.
Is that enough of a list as to why it would be premature to fire him and look for a better replacement?
Rick Gamboa wouldnt have been good enough to walk on at lb for us in the 90s.
Except for fifteen yard penalties...
No questions about the decision to punt? WTF?
This is a fallacy that keeps getting thrown out in support of MacIntyre. The coach does have some good qualities and has improved the CU football program in quite a few ways, but the one critical area that MacIntyre has not helped out the CU program is by bringing in "much improved talent".
If I were to say anything positive about recruiting it would be that it "appears" that our trajectory is positive. We are recruiting higher quality players and are being shown more and more interest by higher quality players. It appears, at least, that our upcoming recruiting class will be an upgrade.
There is a reason why it is generally said that you need to give a guy 5 years.
Yes. As I said before, Gamboa is the kind of guy who is supposed to play when he's a RS-Junior or RS-Senior, is an expert on the defense, and is able to read/diagnose things so he's playing faster than he is. This is a RS-Frosh thrust into things before he's ready and he's playing his ass off.

Maybe if we'd pay players or set up inappropriate rendezvous with those of the female persuasion would help recruiting.

He was arguing with a ref and screwed a vital defensive stop when he did. MM was livid! Loved that, but hated the penalty.
MM obviously cares. Just wish we had better talent to go around.
Moehler got pile driven after the play with no flag right in front of Tumpkin. Tumpkin lost his sh!t at the ref and drew a 15 yard flag that put the Ducks in the red zone. He was so hot after the flag that he was coming onto the field toward the ref. MacIntyre jumped in front of Tumpkin, pushed him back (hard) and chewed his ass out.
Frankly, I'm not all that upset at Tumpkin. He's got to be smarter, but the reaction from a coach shows the type of guy players will run through a wall for. MacIntyre did what a HC is supposed to do there.
Who was it?
The bar was not set to high. Much improved talent should be expected. That said,
Thompson, Awuzie, Carroll, Franke, Lopez, Wheatherspoon, Gillam, Olugbode Fields, Lee, Adkins, Carr are all P5 players and we have much better depth.
It's a good start that needs to be improved upon to get back to being a good team.

Do we have much better depth? We may in some areas, but I would say we still lack it in most areas.
