The problem w/ that example is he took over a horrible program. I'd like to

Not a great example. Leach had already proven he could be successful as HC.

And he took over a horrible program.

The heat was on. Coaching seats don't get much hotter than his was that year.

Mike Leach was a proven coach who took over a program in shambles

Yes which is why he doesn't fit the narrative of what the original poster

Looks like Beamer took over after the NCAA hit them w/ sanctions though

Mike MacIntyre won 10 games his first 3 years at Colorado.

Blue Cat

And now he's been fired.

Maybe there's more going on than just losing 5 games in a row at CU, but I think there is way too much

Mike has been there 5 years and has one season with a winning record

Gary Pinkel is an interesting case.

Yawn. BYU had a very bad 2017. 2018 hasn't been bad. Could be better. Examples:

Jim Harbaugh's first 3 seasons at Michigan were pretty mediocre in aggregate,

Wrong. Michigan was 11-2 his second season and one flukey call from the playoff

No, they finished 10-3 that year, winnng a bunch of easy home games but losing

They beat Colorado, Penn State, and Wisconsin who all won their divisions

Yes, but the wins over Colorado and PSU were very early in the season, before

The question then is whether they can sustain success. I'll be surprised if USU

The biggest problem they have is the much greener pastures on the other side of the fence that pulls successful coaches

Perfect example, I thought he was a terrible HC and would not last past
