Colorado Fires Head Coach Mike MacIntyre
Colorado has fired head coach Mike MacIntyre, athletic director Rick George announced Sunday.
Quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper was named the interim coach and will lead the Buffaloes in their regular-season finale against California next week.
The news was first reported by ESPN's Chris Low.
Colorado has lost each of its last six games after opening the season 5-0. The team is currently in last place in the Pac-12 South division, with a 2-6 record in conference play.
In 2016, MacIntyre led the Buffaloes to a 10-4 record and a Pac-12 South title, the first in program history. He was also honored as 2016 Pac-12 Coach of the Year.
Colorado hired MacIntyre in December 2012. He coached the Buffaloes for six seasons, compiling a 30-44 record.
