Colorado Suffers from Mediocre-Program Syndrome

“I’d rather be dead than red.”

That was said this past week by Bill McCartney who is a former football coach of the Colorado Buffaloes. He is mostly known for the “30 for 30” on ESPN titled “The Gospel According to Mac.”

His tenure at Colorado was the most successful in school history as it went 95-55-5 over his 13 seasons in Boulder. It is somewhat interesting that he had fives ties in his tenure while Tom Osborne had one. That one tie actually came in a game between Colorado and Nebraska.

There was a six season stretch in which Colorado was rather dominant across the landscape of college football.
