Thus ends our embarrassing search to replace Jon Embree, a bungled exercise that earned national attention and ridicule. MacIntyre is a hire that should be applauded for Colorado. It can easily be argued that MacIntyre is a much better fit for this program and he is certainly a much smaller flight risk than Butch Jones would have been.

We'll have much more on this soon. What does everyone think? Happy that it's all over?
