In a deluge of hardware encompassing just a few short weeks, Mike MacIntyre earned more accolades than most football coaches can hope for during an entire career.
Name the national coach of the year honor, and the leader of the Colorado Buffaloes probably won it. That list includes the Associated Press, Walter Camp Foundation, and the Eddie Robinson Award. On Thursday MacIntyre will learn if the Maxwell Football Club's Bobby Dodd Trophy will be added to that lengthy list, an honor his father won in 1982.
It's enough to make MacIntyre's Pac-12 Conference Coach of the Year honor, a first for a CU coach since the Buffs joined the league, seem almost trivial.
