Coaching Ties: Harbaugh & MacIntyre

Hate Colorado slightly less after reading this...but only slightly. Don't they have a Harbaugh assistant coach there from the 49er days? Defensive guy or something I can't remember and don't feel like googling

He was Jim's linebackers coach with the Niners and is now CU's defensive coordinator.

Maybe I still haven't gotten all the way over the hoke era

You're clearly not over the RR/Hoke years. I understand, it took me almost all of last season to get over it.
This staff is oustanding in their playcalling/gameplanning and they actually make adjustments when need be. I don't see this as a systemic problem to worry about (if it happens over and over again then maybe but right now, no).
It was more than likely a fluke, kinks need to be worked out in a new system, and this staff will absolutely notice what went wrong and correct it going forward. Not to mention missing two starters on the DL hurts not only the talent level of the starting unit but the depth as well. Harbaugh has done far more with far less, and so has Don Brown. Everything will be fine.

the Carr/Hoke/RR eras. The only game that worries me this year is osu.
msu is hot garbage, ND is going in dry this weekend to remove any doubt of that. Iowa and Wisconsin may have good D but their O plays right into our D strengths. Indiana may score a few points but it won't be NEAR as many as our O scores. psu is a dumpster fire that will probably get blown out worse than CU this weekend.

CU now runs a passing spread, I'd be feeling a little more comfortable if I knew Lewis was going to play Saturday.

MacIntyre took a San Jose State team that had gone 2-10 the year before he arrived, and had them at 11-2 with a bowl win and a #21 final ranking within three years. That's a pretty impressive, if limited, track record, which is about the best Colorado could have hoped for.

Remember, though, that CU hired Dan Hawkins away from Boise State when he was considered THE hot coach. After struggling in Boulder and forcing his son Cody into the starting QB role, many began to wonder if Chris Peterson was the real genius up at Boise all those years and with Hawkins now being relegated to the Canadian League and a stint coaching in Austria(?), there was some concern that MacIntyre was also smoke and mirrors.
He has turned out pretty well and built a staff around him whereas Hawkins was an egomaniac who listened to nobody.
