MacIntyre has a lot of D!ck Vermeil in him.
Dude, ignorance must be bliss. Go look closer at Urban Meyer's coaching history and come back to me on if Urban Meyer would ever say something like this.
Hell, Urban Meyer's wife just yelled at ESPN over a silly joke sign.
no, but only an ass would act like the family doesn't feel every bump the coach feels no matter his contract size. Sure, money is nice, I'm sure, but it also increases the scrutiny. Way to go full strawman, numb nuts.
Which stands to reason, since Vermeil is a San Jose Spartan.
Seriously, though, Vermeil's win %age as a college HC was .750. Considering MM's win %age is .376, I'd be really excited if he could get it to match Vermeil's before he left CU. Hell, I'd settle for Vermeil's NFL win %age (.524).
On that note, I'd point out that OSU was MM's 69th game as HC.
Nice.

beware the habu
Holee shat, batman. That's some serious irony right there.
I have no problem with a grown ass man showing his emotion especially when it's legit. Had a coach very similar and we still talk to this day. Since my dad got sick, I've talked to him about everyday. I did everything that man ever coached me to do, he was really more than a coach to me. I probably don't respect anyone more than I do him. I'd bet Mac's players, some of them anyway, feel like that. Dude has your back, not much more to ask than that.

For a man with Ron Swanson as his avatar, you are awfully sensitive and passive aggressive.
He has also played for the Buffs and coached. I give his opinion on this type of stuff a lot of weight. This stuff and how to find a bargain when one goes antiquing. Pretty much just those 2 things.

I agree that coaching can be hard on a family, but I could name you many low paying jobs that are much harder. Macyntire earns roughly $2.5mm/year. We have won 2 conference games in 2.5 years. That equates to over $3mm per Conference win. You can buy a lot of antiques with that kind of money. Maybe you should be getting your antiquing advice from Mac's wife?
Trust me when I say that I'm not crying a river here. There are pressures that go with a high profile job and public criticism that are simply part of it. So if you don't want to deal with that, you shouldn't do that job. And MacIntyre went into it with his eyes wider open than most since he's the son of a college football coach.
But I don't think he's all that motivated by money. I'm sure he likes and enjoys his money, but I also don't think he's rolling out of the rack worrying about what he makes relative to other P5 coaches (he's got an agent for that). And regardless of what you're being paid, it's got to wear on you when parents of yourself & your wife are having serious health issues and your son is having a surgery... and you can't be there as you're supposed to be as a son, husband and father. That is, if you care about such things. Some coaches could probably be diagnosed as narcissists and/or sociopaths and they don't care about such things.
Anyway, I don't think it's some big deal to criticize him over. He's dealing with a lot, he didn't choose to take a personal leave, and his team won this week. I think that given all that it's ok for him to admit that he's human. It's not like he used it as an excuse after a loss or anything like that.
OK internet tough guy, how's this, you were a dick, I called you on it. you don't like it and act like you know something you don't. Piss up a rope. There are legitimate things to hammer Mac for. Recruiting, playcalling, assistant coaches. Being happy that his family gets a week's reprieve from busybodies like you offering constructve advice for their husband/ father in the checkout line at King Soopers is not really that legitmate in the grand scheme.
Aggressive enough for you?
