"There are also plenty of other CU coaches who experienced turnaround seasons after their third spring with the Buffs.
Gary Barnett won a Big 12 title in his third season. Bill Mallory tied for the Big Eight title in his third year, and Eddie Crowder went from 2-8 his second year to 6-2-2 in his third season, a year that included a winning conference record.
And, Bill McCartney registered his first winning season in Boulder after his third spring with the Buffs, carving out a 7-5 record. (It was McCartney's fourth year in Boulder, but he did not coach the Buffs in the spring in his first year.)"
