Mike MacIntyre fired, Kurt Roper named as interim head coach

On Sunday morning, University of Colorado athletic director Rick George announced his decision to relieve head coach Mike MacIntyre of command.

There had been much speculation regarding MacIntyre’s future at CU as the Buffaloes’ season spiralled out of control following a 5-0 start to the season. At the time, Colorado was ranked No. 19 in the country, but since Week 5, the Buffs have lost six straight games.

Now, in similar fashion to 2017, the Buffs will enter their final game of the regular season fighting for bowl eligibility. The 5-6 Buffaloes will need to beat Cal Berkeley this Saturday to qualify for a bowl game.
