Coaching. Carousel. Season. We at Trojans Wire lived through this experience last year when Mike Bohn fired Clay Helton and began a long search which ended up with a jackpot hire, Lincoln Riley. Colorado just fired Karl Dorrell. He and defensive coordinator Chris Wilson have been let go.
The Buffaloes are not getting Lincoln Riley or any elite name, but they obviously could go in different directions depending on the quality of the hire they make. Mike MacIntyre guided them to a Pac-12 South Division championship in 2016. Dorrell was a total bust. The Buffs can improve their program if they find the right guy.
The team at Buffaloes Wire is already on the job, providing its initial look at the CU head coaching search. Here are Buffaloes Wire’s early candidates.
