Mike MacIntyre: Does He Make It Through 2016?

[Bufffan68]

I just don't understand people wanting other people to fail at a job

Who wants MMac to fail? I'm pretty sure everyone on here wants the Buffs to win at least 6 and their bowl game.

I'm not the biggest Mac fan and don't think he has the chops to make this team a champion, but I hope to hell he proves me wrong in very dramatic fashion...no crow would ever taste sweeter!

Several could easily be perceived that way.

Some of you guys are just unbelievably good fans.

Well that'd be crappy...hoping the team loses just to get rid of a guy they don't like? I'd tolerate Pelini if it meant winning 8-10 games every year and making a serious run once in a while.

Why, umm, thank you Duff. I think. HEYYYY! WAIT A MINUTE!

 

[Buffnik]

I hoped for losses resulting in termination with Hawkins once I realized that he and his staff were expecting to be fired and recruiting half-heartedly at best.

Are you new here?

 

[Darian3Hagan]

if he gets fired how many clear bags will he be alloted to clean out his desk?

He will have to provide clean bags for himself and his staff.

 

[patebuff]

He will have to provide clean bags for himself and his staff.

Can he take some of the water bottles?

 

[Darian3Hagan]

He will have to provide clean bags for himself and his staff.

in that case he should start tracking that **** on camelcamelcamel

I get the feeling that you'd be upset if CU went 8-4 and won a bowl game this year, under Mike MacIntyre.

8-4 is decisive. 7-5 or 6-6 is more likely the outcome. Which will leave this subject to fester onwards....

Outside this board, folks who know how hard it is to turn a program (no draft picks in CFB) would be LOL if we are discussing this subject if we go bowling. He'll be nominated for HC of the year!

My thoughts stand about Big Jim actually being upset about an 8-4 season under MM. I honestly believe there are some people who simply don't like the guy for one reason or another, or have been so outspoken in their opinion that he isn't a good coach, that they are rooting for this team to lose so he gets fired, and they can say, "I told you so".

I agree with something HCMM was saying about the strength of the Pac-12 and the challenge of moving up from the bottom of the conference. None of the other 11 have fallen off in recruiting (or, for that matter, let facilities lapse or went cheap on any coaching hires)... so no one is falling back to you. To move up you can only count on your own improvement. That makes it harder.

So, yeah, if in 4 years he takes CU from where we were in the conference in 2012 to a bowl season against a schedule of 9 Pac-12 opponents + a road game at Michigan... I'd think anyone who still has issues was being an idot.

Whew. Good thing there are no idiots on Allbuffs

Now, you can see MacIntyre's blood start to come up. His facial expressions shift from relaxed to shades of frustration. He knows the progress is there, but it's not necessarily tangible. He knows his team was competitive in almost every game last season with lost opportunities against UCLA, Utah and USC -- falling to the South's top three teams by a combined 13 points.

"Those are the things that wake me up every night," MacIntyre said. "We're right there. Players make plays, players win games and our kids understand that completely now."

So once again mac2 deflects. Can't be the coaches. Can't be the game plan. Can't be the schemes. Can't be the in game adjustments. Can't be the play calling Can't be not having the players pumped up.

So if the Buffs don't win the games. It is the players fault. mac2 is the teflon coach.

@Buffnik
Last in the conference is actually complementary. We were one of the worst 5 teams in CFB.

He should have taken recruiting seriously from Day 1

If that happens, and I hope it does...............And he will be taking all the credit. But if it does not, he will be taking non of the blame. That will be on the players. Just how it is

I get the frustration with MacIntyre but it's a bit disingenuous to suggest that he wouldn't give players credit if this season goes well.

If the season doesn't go well then he'll be looking for a new job and nobody around here will care how he spins it.

I think you are reading too much into that. I think it is more of a motivational thing for the players - you make plays, you win games. What makes you think that HCMM will blame the players if they don't win this year? When had he blamed the players to this point?

 

[Buffenuf]

**** you and get off my lawn!

FIFY!

I think it's about the culture change of making players accountable. That's a big thing with HCMM, in all aspects of their lives. I can understand why people might take it another way, but I don't think that it's the right read on HCMM to think that he is a trying to save himself by pushing the blame on everyone else. Where I do think he handles things with kid gloves too much, though, is in protecting his assistant coaches.

And that's a bit weird too. Because in the heat of the moment of competition, we've seen him light into an assistant coach but he does seem slow to act on coaches from employment stand point. Ultimately, he'll succeed or fail based in large part on the work of those assistant coaches so I give him a lot of leeway in who he hires and fires. That's also why I'm against an AD mandating a certain assistant to be hired or fired. I think they provide resources and are a sounding board for coaching hires but ultimately it should be the HC's call.

Kevin Gemmell thinks Mac should get 5 years no matter what so it's odd to use anything from his article against Mac especially an article so glowing of MacIntyre in general and what he's done here.

8-4 is decisive. 7-5 or 6-6 is more likely the outcome. Which will leave this subject to fester onwards....

Well, they coaches dont suit up. And young men are known to make mistakes.

MightyVKBuff has an unreasonable hatred of MacIntyre. He particularly dislikes Brian Lindgren and has several pet names for him. Several of which he has already used here on AB.

Disagree with his questionable opinions and you will be on the receiving end of some childish insults. Some of his favorites are: basement dweller, inbred, trailer trash, gone off your meds ...

over/under before he gets banned is 150 posts.
