Report: Buffs to Fire MacIntyre at Season's End

[carson]

BOULDER, Colo. — Multiple sources have told Denver7 that the University of Colorado will part ways with football coach Mike MacIntyre effective at the end of this season.

MacIntyre has spent six years as the head coach at CU, posting a 30-43 record. The Buffaloes have qualified for one bowl during MacIntyre's tenure -- a 38-8 Alamo Bowl loss in 2016 to Oklahoma State.

The Buffaloes have lost five games in a row this season, including Saturday's 31-10 defeat to Washington State. Sitting at 5-5 overall, the Buffs must win one of their remaining two games against Utah or California to qualify for a bowl game. MacIntyre has three years and roughly $10 million remaining on his contract.

Late Monday night, Denver7 spoke with an associate athletic director at CU who could not confirm the news.

Not at all surprising. For the 2nd year in a row, the Buffs started strong and then plummeted when the Pac 12 portion of the schedule kicked in. Expect Mac and Bobo to be shit-canned.

I think Mac is a solid coach, but he's clearly not capable of producing consistent winners beyond Group 5.

Initial candidates to replace Mac are Jim Wells of Utah State or maybe even Jeff Tedford.

MacIntyre had the nerve to say he could've left the program for, "three better jobs", by now.

I now fully advocate for CU to pay this guy $10M to go the hell away.
