Legendary CU Buffs football coach Bill McCartney has been diagnosed with late-onset Dementia/Alzheimer’s, his family announced on Monday.
“We (his family) have been noticing memory issues for the past few years and he was recently diagnosed,” his family said in a statement. “He is receiving treatment and we are hoping this slows the progression of the disease. He is still the same Coach Mac – biking, golfing, supporting the Buffs and being an active member of his Church.
“We are making this public to ask for your understanding and patience as we know he frequently runs into fans, friends and former players.
