He left the next coach with an ideal situation. The team has 7-5 talent, with a 5-7 baseline.

At this point, every day that goes by without a coach is costly.
Early signing day is right around the corner and we are losing recruits. Trujillo and Chapman are especially painful losses.
Even IF we are bringing in a coach who is coaching during championship weekend, it would be beneficial to announce that a deal has been struck and we're only waiting for a specific date.

The coaches in championship games should be focusing on those games.
wrong. They should be focusing on how to get us to the championship games.
That can’t be because I googled it.

If the search goes beyond 12/3, then there will be cause for concern. But for now, I'm sure RG is working his ass off behind the scenes.
Wins matter. He improved things on several fronts. But the results were stagnant.
Don’t confuse improvement for success. No BS. Just facts.
Just had a mild heart attack.
Agreed, but this is different than the context of what I was originally saying. MM ultimately got fired because the results were stagnant, but any objective person can see this program is a lot healthier now than it was in 2012.
Yeah, next Monday seems like a good benchmark in the search process.
Fair.
CU has, for too long, been void of two key foundational, cellular elements for success, culture and leadership.
Beyond position groups, coaches, scheduling, recruiting, whatever...
These two things must be fixed with new hire.
I think we'll look back and say that most of MacIntyre's best work was on the organizational stuff he worked with RG & LC on with building up the department the right way with the expansions to support staff and operational protocols for how CU manages its program.
He also got CU back to a P5 level (bottom half, but still P5) on recruiting his last 3 classes including the current one. Beyond that, he delivered one great season that made it clear that CU is not a perpetual doormat and coaching graveyard. iirc, he also inherited a program that was on the edge with APR and that has been fixed - though Embree gets the credit for starting that in the right direction. Didn't we have an APR penalty right as we were joining the Pac-12?

In case it hasn't been seen:

5. Colorado’s been pretty quiet but could continue with a defensive guy.
Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason is drawing attention at Colorado, both for his extensive Pac-12 experience (the Phoenix native spent four years as an assistant at Stanford) and his defensive acumen.
Other names connected to CU are Leavitt (Colorado’s DC during its surprise 2016 success), Utah State’s Matt Wells, and former Tennessee head coach Butch Jones.

We've already got enough Life Championship trophies in the case at CU, but we thank you for your interest and getting his name out to drive some publicity for the CU job @Butch's Agent.

Maybe he misses the food cart and desperately wants to be reunited.
Agreed. As others have said, his inclusion makes everything else they say in the article highly suspect.
That has been what I’ve been telling people. If our target’s season was done, I think we would hear some rumors, so I think he is still coaching in a championship, and will be interviewed/hired likely within 48 hours after the game.
just like in our threads - these writers are throwing names around. Of that short crappy list there? I would have to vote JMFL
Not a credible national writer. I’m sticking with the big boys.
Update from @BuffStampede
If they can truly get Aranda, I think he is Candidate1 for me.
Exactly my reaction. The 3 best P5 coordinator fits for this job along with the best G5 fit.
