ATLANTA (AP) - Mike MacIntyre of Colorado has won the Dodd Trophy as coach of the year.

The Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation announced Dodd as the winner Friday before a Peach Bowl news conference.
Colorado finished 10-4 despite closing losses in the Pac-12 championship game and the Alamo Bowl.
MacIntyre's father, George , who died in January, won the award at Vanderbilt in 1982. MacInyre says the award is personal to him because of that.
