BOULDER — Rick George didn’t come out and say he wants Alabama. But he sure as heck sounded like a guy who wants a guy who says he wants a crack at the Crimson Tide.
“I know where I want this program to go,” Colorado’s athletic director said at a news conference Sunday afternoon, a few hours after the school announced it had dismissed Mike MacIntyre as football coach. “I want to win Pac-12 championships. I want to win national championships. I’m committed to that.”
Translation: 5-7, the average record of MacIntyre’s six seasons at the helm, isn’t good enough.
