BOULDER — Just three days ago, Darian Hagan had no idea how the University of Colorado was going to fill the vacancy on its football coaching staff.

Hagan, 46, hadn't even spoken to head coach Mike MacIntyre about his plans for the position.

Then on Friday, Hagan was invited into MacIntyre's office for an impromptu meeting. He left the office as the Buffaloes' new running backs coach. CU made the official announcement Saturday.

"He pulled me aside and brought me in his office and told me some good things," said Hagan, who was CU's director of player development the past three years.
