Athletic director Rick George staunchly defends the performance of football coach Mike MacIntyre, saying the Colorado Buffaloes are making measurable improvement though the won-lost record doesn't necessarily show it.
Utah defeated CU 20-14 in Salt Lake City on Saturday, the Buffs finishing their 10th consecutive losing season with a 4-9 overall record and 1-8 Pac-12 mark. In MacIntrye's three seasons as CU's coach, he is 10-27 overall and 2-25 in the Pac-12, but George said MacIntrye's job is secure.
In the Buffs' five years in the Pac-12, they are 5-40 in conference play.
"When I came here, CU was the worst power five conference team in America," MacIntrye said.
