Bill McCartney was the head coach of the 1990 Colorado Buffaloes, who are considered to be one of the greatest teams in college football history. The Buffaloes finished the regular season with a record of 11-1, and they defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Orange Bowl, 10-9, to win their first national championship.
McCartney was in his eighth season as the head coach of the Buffaloes in 1990. He had taken over a program that was in disarray in 1982, and he had turned it into a national powerhouse by 1990.
The option offense used on the 1990 Colorado Buffaloes was a triple option offense. The triple option offense is an offensive formation that gives the quarterback three options on every play: to hand the ball off to the running back, to keep the ball and run, or to throw the ball to a receiver.
