Mike MacIntyre was a perfect hire for 2012, not 2018
Mike MacIntyre was a great hire in 2012, almost by accident. Mike Bohn had Butch Jones, and thankfully for everybody, Butch Jones said no. So Bohn went to his second choice, a coach named Mike who literally brought San Jose State back from the grave.
Colorado football in 2012 was as close to the grave as you could get. They had the worst scoring margin in the country. They badly needed someone comfortable with coaching from zero. Starting from scratch. MacIntyre was comfortable with building a program from dust.
