Mike MacIntyre may be out as Colorado Buffaloes head coach at the season, as reported by Troy Renck of Denver Channel 7, although that report has since been called into question. If Colorado has indeed decided to part ways with the former National Coach of the Year, it would be the right move for the program’s future.
Colorado originally hired MacIntyre to lead the Buffaloes out of the deep, cavernous basement that had been dug by Dan Hawkins and Jon Embree. What had once been one of the top football programs in the nation had collapsed amid coaching incompetence, woeful recruiting and a program-wide feeling of hopelessness.
