Bill McCartney is still the face of Colorado football in many ways, and the former coach was front and center this week as the Buffaloes prepared for Stanford.

McCartney was featured in the ESPN 30 for 30 film "The Gospel According to Mac," which premiered Tuesday. The documentary focused on McCartney's 13 years as head coach of Colorado as he built the Buffaloes into a national power while generating controversy on and off the field.

McCartney was happy with how the film turned out and used the opportunity to throw his support behind current CU coach Mike MacIntyre.
