If I were an up-and-coming head coach looking for my first AQ team gig, I'd be all over Colorado, precisely because of its history you mentioned. In 1973, they were the #3 team in the final polls, behind only Oklahoma and Nebraska (both of CU's losses that year were to those two schools) and were good to mediocre until 1979 when Chuck Fairbanks was hired and promptly went 3-8, 1-10, and 3-8 and got fired. In comes Bill McCartney who also has a rocky first three seasons (2-8, 4-7, and 1-10) but remains on. He then has four respectible years (7-5, 6-6, 7-4, and 8-4) before going 11-1 and 11-1-1 in 1989 and 1990. He has another 11-1 season in 1994 before Rick Neuheisel comes in and goes 10-2 his first two seasons. So despite that absolutely shitty six-year stretch in the early 1980's, Colorado was turned around into national power.
I think Darell Hazel would be the perfect candidate for this position. If he can turn around a team that was as perennially as shitty as Kent State into an 11-1 and national ranked team, he sure as hell can turn around a program that has a proven past.

I'd love to see that, but have zero faith in their AD to make an even decent hire. My wife's an alum, and I've always had a mild fondness for the Buffs since Kordell Stewart pimp-slapped scUM at the Out House in '94. Plus, that's one helluva stadium to take in a college football game. Would be nice if they could field a competitive team.

Now, knapp, usually I agree with you. And I can't believe I'm defending a pos Ralphie guy, but to your argument, then the Zen Master should have been fired in year two. He sure as hell should have been fired in year THREE, at the least...if we're looking at stats.

Butch Jones and his wife visited CU yesterday. I am sure CU's pitch to him went something like this: "sure you will start out with bad players and high expectations, and the school has no recruiting tradition, and you will not be supported by the community or the academic side of the university, and you will be playing to half empty stadiums for your home games, but we have mountains".

Mike MacIntyre didn’t know Colorado scored a TD when Buffs went for two-point conversion vs. USC
Colorado lost for the first time late Saturday on the road at USC. The result was not entirely puzzling given Colorado may have been due for a loss and USC can be difficult to top in Los Angeles, but a decision to go for a two-point conversion after a late Colorado touchdown cut into the USC lead left many watching scratching their heads. After the game, Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre explained the rationale behind the two-point conversion attempt, and it was rather simple.
MacIntyre didn’t know Colorado scored a touchdown and thought it was a first-and-goal situation.
The two-point conversion attempt came following a Steven Montez 19-yard touchdown run with 3:23 to play. The touchdown cut the USC lead to 31-20. A successful two-point conversion would have made it a nine-point game whereas an extra point would have created a 10-point deficit for Colorado. You could argue Colorado still needed two scores in the final minutes anyway and a two-point try would allow for the possibility of a win. The conventional logic, however, suggests there is a better win probability if you only need a touchdown and a field goal. Not that Colorado had a great chance either way to come back and win (which of course, they did not), but the decision to go for two points was a bizarre one. And now we know why.

The head coach goes for two since he doesn't realize the team scored a TD and thought it was 1st and goal. Talk about the head coach not having his "head in the game".......JUST AMAZING

This video just needs to be added to the thread here:
This video of Colorado’s mascot shooting himself below the belt with a t-shirt cannon is A LOT
Hello, this video of Colorado’s Buffalo mascot shooting himself with a t-shirt cannon has put me in tears for over five minutes, and I think you all need to watch this, too:
A couple big takeaways here — poor Chip the Buffalo — the official name for Colorado’s mascot (not Ralphie, the real, live buffalo that’s also at Colorado’s games) hit himself right below the belt with a t-shirt cannon. Those things can launch shirts pretty dang high, so I’m guessing this had to hurt a lot.
In fact, Chip had to get carted off the field after this happened on Saturday during Colorado’s game against New Hampshire:

Pioneering female college kicker battling deadly health issue
One of the foremost female names in the sport of college football could certainly use the help of strangers during what are some very trying and perilous times.
According to a GoFundMe page titled “Help Katie heal,” Katie Hnida has been dealing with what was described as “a rare, life-threatening reaction” to “a common, everyday antibiotic” she was described for an unspecified medical issue recently. The 37-year-old Hnida suffered multi-organ failure, with her kidneys failing, liver shutting down and “her bone marrow quit functioning.”
“Her blood wouldn’t clot, and she had uncontrollable bleeding. Katie was admitted to the ICU in critical condition where she was given emergency dialysis and doctors debated the need for a possible liver transplant,” the page stated. “Fortunately, she has stabilized and her doctors and family are optimistic that she will eventually recover from this crisis.”
Hnida, originally on the roster at Colorado before transferring under what ultimately became controversial circumstances, was successful on two point-after attempts for New Mexico in 2003 to become the first female to score in an FBS game. Months prior to that debut, Hnida attempted an extra point in the Las Vegas Bowl — it was blocked — becoming the first female to play in an FBS game.
Because of her pioneering efforts in the sport, Hnida’s jersey has been displayed in the College Football Hall of Fame.
The GoFundMe page is seeking donations to help defray Hnida’s medical costs, which thus far have exceeded $155,000.
Hnida, who claimed she was raped by a teammate while a member of the Buffaloes, has been “on the front lines as an advocate, educator, and voice for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. The majority of her work is through nonprofits, and she dedicates a substantial amount of time providing pro-bono counseling to survivors of trauma.”
