In the waning hours of a cold Monday evening in Boulder, The Denver Channel reported that Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre and the university had agreed to mutually part ways at season’s end. The news wasn’t surprising to many as Colorado is in the midst of a tailspin that’s seen them lose five straight games after winning their first five for the first time in program history. Likewise, while MacIntyre helped transform the team from division cellar dweller to respectable, his tenure in Boulder has ultimately been defined by mediocrity.
However with no sources to confirm the report and athletic director Rick George issuing a statement that they were unwilling to comment on the matter, it’s clear the university was trying to keep the information close to their chest, if the report had any truth at all.
