Thank you. The "nobody will take that job if they fire this guy" take is the most baseless thing I see said most often about coaching turnover. There will ALWAYS be somebody who is willing to take those jobs for 6 and 7 figures a year. It's beyond stupid to suggest that coaches won't sign on to make a boatload of money coaching a mid-to-upper-tier P5 school.

You all would take a job taste testing hog ******** for what some of these head coaches get paid. You'd grin and tell people, "Three million bucks buys all the mouthwash you need!"

Probably right. Well nobody with any other viable good options....A young guy with a 6 figure salary and no better D-1 options I'm sure would take it.

Jim Leavitt was the only reason Macintyre was able to accomplish anything at Colorado. Not a bad decision at all to let him go.

MacIntyre was the only CU coach with a winning record against Nebraska outside of Sonny "Slushfund" Grandelius (2-1 from 1959 to 1961) and Dal Ward (7-3-1 from 1948 to 1958). Hard to believe that despite CU's 9-4-1 start against Nebraska in the Big 7/8) that the series is 49-19-2 in Nebraska's favor. Thanks, Bobfather (10-1 vs. Colorado), TO (21-3-1), Solich (5-1) and Bo (3-0)!

Yeah, that would be it. I hadn't really thought past Bill Cubit and Illinois-I just remember how embarrassing it was to lose to an interim coach. But since he was never given the job on a permanent basis and probably had little chance of being retained barring going on a huge unexpected run, Al Golden would be it since he was the actual head coach at the time and not just an interim.

Cubit actually was named the coach in November that year and given a 2 year contract. New AD came in and fired him in late February and paid him a $985K buyout and hired Lovie.

Now that you mention it, I remember that. Odd situation.
