George Michael "Mike" MacIntyre (born March 14, 1965) is an American football coach who is currently head coach for the Colorado Buffaloes. MacIntyre played college football at Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech and began his coaching career in 1990 as a graduate assistant at Georgia. From 1992 to 2002, MacIntyre held various assistant coaching positions at Davidson, Tennessee–Martin, Temple, and Mississippi. From 2003 to 2007, MacIntyre was an assistant coach in the NFL, first as defensive backs coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 2003 to 2006 and then in the same position with the New York Jets in 2007. MacIntyre returned to college football as defensive coordinator for Duke from 2008 to 2009.

MacIntyre became a head coach for the first time in his career when he was hired by the San Jose State Spartans on December 16, 2009. As San Jose State head coach from 2010 to 2012, MacIntyre coached a program that improved from a one-win season in 2010 to a 10-2 record in 2012. San Jose State also earned its first-ever BCS Top 25 ranking and first bowl invitation since 2006. After the 2012 regular season but before the 2012 Military Bowl, MacIntyre resigned from San Jose State to accept the head coaching job at Colorado.
