I think you would be surprised. RG hand was forced after 2016. This is his window if he wants his guy.

Not really, he's legit. You could see what was gonna happen to him, though.

Well that sucked.
I know he's legit, but to have such a huge impact on a team is incredible.
Always BUFF
I post stupid ****
Yep
Suddenly recruiting 10 dbs makes s3nse
I hear ya, that's what great players usually do.
If CU loses out, there is zero chance MM keeps his job. Spare me the “CU doesn’t care about football enough” retorts. Starting 5-0 and finishing 5-7, would be about as embarrassing as it gets and there’s no way RG allows him to stick around because of $9m. He’ll find the money to buy him out and hire his first revenue generating HC.
^This. No doubt. Applies also to losing 6/7 to finish 6-6.

If we finish 5-7 (which, IMO, we will) they might fire him. But even that is highly unlikely. No way in hell they fire him if he makes a bowl. Our standards are simply not that high, not even close.
Yeah, but sucking is the baseline for the regents. Apart from a couple, they would rather get rid of athletics than do what needs to be done. And maybe they are right to think so/.
Nah. I think RG basically says, **** you to them and does what he needs to do to get it done.

Rick George's standards are higher than that. It's convincing all the other higher ups that it's the right move.
Yep. As long as he's got the money, the university really doesn't care. It's when the AD is having to borrow that it becomes an issue.
He has advanced this programs fundraising so far beyond what it was when he got here. He will make sure he gets the money needed to get it done. Macs been here for 6 years with one bowl season. Any P5 program would fire him in this scenario. I think people are overreacting to the idea of the administration thing.
A good comparable is Mark Stoops, also in year 6 at UK. Good foundation. Program is rolling.

Rolling is an overstatement. That's an average team regardless of record.
It stinks. MM doesn’t have a killer instinct, and it flows downhill to his team and coaches. Up 31-3, OK let’s coast on in for the win. Wouldn’t want to make the other team feel bad. We have a 6 play offense that every opponent knows what is coming. At the beginning of the season the play calling was pretty good, and then they figured out shenault was a superstar so they built everything around him. Now we have sporadic big plays but no real offense. It’s pretty sad because I don’t believe our talent is this bad.
I’d like to be average whilst 7-1 and ranked top 12 in country....

Yeah that ranking is based on people thinking Florida is actually a good team, and the SEC is super strong conference, which are both false.
The trajectory of that program is good. He has built a sustainable foundation. MM has not. That’s the point.

The talent is actually pretty damn good. There's a lot of all conference, and several NFL guys on this roster. Chev's offense doesn't utilize enough principles though, and as other's have stated he refuses to use the middle of the field.
I guess in your world no conferences and no teams are good. Thanks for the hot takes

Has he? I just don't see anything special about that program going forward or in the current time.

There really aren't any strong conferences this year. Alabama will lay waist to everyone in the SEC. The Big Ten is hot garbage. The ACC is Clemson and a bunch of average to hot garbage. The Big XII is garbage outside OU and Texas. The Pac is a whole bunch of average surrounded by more average. It's not a good year in CFB in general.
One doesn't have to look real hard at teams like Florida or LSU in the SEC to see those are not top tier teams. CSU outgained Florida for god's sakes. Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and LSU are all where they are just because of preseason rankings and pre-existing opinions about the strength of the conference because when you watch them play, they aren't special.
What has MM done though? Outside of 2016, which is looking more and more like an accident, what has he done?
Are we better than when he arrived? Yes. Are we good enough to justify his current employment? Debatable.
