I know he was there for awhile but why would anyone take the Ole Miss job right now?

Not sure. The expectations will be low and it will be looked at as a rebuild so if a coach goes in there and turns it around while the pressure is low he will have built up some serious equity with the fan base. Obviously the money is great but it is the worst job in the division so who knows.
$$$$$$
I think they'll get the hammer dropped on them, hope the money is worth it.
It will be even more worth it if the hammer is dropped. A **** load of money plus a giant, built in, completely believable and legitimate scapegoat that is a. not you and b. on which you can place 100% of the blame for losing 10 games a year for the next 3 years? Sign me up!
Lol well that's definitely a point of view. I couldn't stand losing like that personally.
Yes - turning around a team that is one of the worst in FBS and getting 10 wins would be a tremendous achievement. Clearly that would build some equity with the fans so they don't turn on him the next year when the team is 4-3 half way through the season.

Losing games does not help him, regardless of "legitimate scapegoat" or not. Pretty clear pathway to ending up at the G5 level.
I'm not talking about career progression, and I'm not talking about a particular coach at all.
I'm talking about cash, and just about any coach simply taking the job for the money.
I'm talking about getting a contract that pays well enough that if you can stay in it for 3 years, you're set for life. And you know you can stay in it for at least 3 years because of the wonderful built-in excuse you have for losing so many games.
After that, you can do what you want. Live on a beach and fish everyday. Or if you want to continue to coach, go coach at a G5 or even FCS school with no pressure
UT Volunteer rhetoric heating up. He done.
Surprised it's took this long really.
Well, in all fairness, raking leaves into the shape of letters really isn't all that easy.
Bull**** I raked today, that would be easy man, come on lol.
If Mac wants out of Boulder, Ole Miss is probably his ticket, and they should be ecstatic about getting him.
Lots of fun prepping for him and the Pirate on consecutive weeks. Even though the concepts are actually based on similar concepts.
Get what you're saying but hard to kill that competitive nature. Maybe I'm just talking about myself I suppose but I'd think Mac has that right? I like the ocean and fishing idea but my unlucky ass would catch a shark, book it lol.
Ole Miss job has to be one of the worst in the SEC, but I could still see him leaving for that job. He now knows exactly how crazy CU can be and the nonsense that comes from the school sometimes.
I’ve got confidence in RG though. If MikeMac leaves, we’ll find someone good.

I don't think MM wants out of Boulder as badly as Bobo wants out of Fort Collins. His name will come up there tol
Bobo has a ways to go before being considered for a head job in the SEC. He hasn’t done much of note at CSU.

Maybe, but Ole Miss is at a point where MM or Mike Norvell would be considered a home run.

Whoever takes that job will get a longer term deal with a lot of security. They know they're gonna get hammered.
Ok say Mac does get another look, who would you guys want as a replacement?
I think Pete Carroll would be a great fit in Boulder
I was being serious slap nuts.

I do not think MacIntyre is as hot of a commodity as fans on this board think. I do think MacIntyre is smart enough to know he will get eaten alive in the SEC. IMO, he does not have the personality. Forde is just writing an article and throwing names on the wall - if he throws enough names he will be right eventually.
