Amid the transfer portal chaos that has plagued the Colorado Buffaloes over the past few weeks, Karl Dorrell has finally filled out his staff of assistants for the 2022 season. On Tuesday, Dorrell announced that Phil McGeoghan will fulfill the role of wide receivers coach.
McGeoghan most recently served as wide receivers coach for the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers from 2018-20 before taking a personal leave of absence for the 2021 season. During his tenure, he coached Keenan Allen to two Pro Bowl selections and multiple franchise records.
He has also spent time coaching both the Miami Dolphins (2012-15) and Buffalo Bills (2017) wide receivers. In total, he has 15 years of coaching experience between college and the NFL.

Dorrell and McGeoghan previously crossed paths during their time with the Denver Broncos in the early 2000s. Dorrell was McGeoghan’s wide receivers coach during his short stint playing for the Broncos.
“I’m very excited about being reunited with coach (Dorrell),” McGeoghan said in a release. “I believe it’s always a goal in life to be able to work for people who know you, trust you, and know what you can bring to the table every day. So it will be a privilege to work for a man who has integrity like Karl, who is obviously very passionate about football. I love the state of Colorado, so to be reunited with a very special man, in a very exceptional place, to take on a job that I am really excited about doing, it’s going to be special for our family.”
