His success at San Jose State led him to Colorado in 2013. The Buffaloes were coming off a 1-11 season when he was hired, and just four years later, MacIntyre had Colorado at 10-4 and playing for the program’s first-ever Pac-12 championship. For his efforts, MacIntyre earned AFCA Regional and National Coach of the Year honors in 2016. He has won 46 games in his nine years as a head coach with two bowl game appearances.
