Colorado football head coach candidates: Chris Vannini of The Athletic edition

The Athletic released its list of candidates

Who will take over as the next head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes?

After an 0-5 start, Karl Dorrell and others got the boot and offensive coordinator Mike Sanford was named the interim head coach in a long-awaited move.

Now, the Buffs are once again on the market for another head coach, and there are plenty of candidates to choose from.

Eric Bieniemy, Troy Calhoun, Bryan Harsin, Bronco Mendenhall, Ryan Walters and Barry Odom were listed on other candidate lists, including the one from Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports, and Chris Vannini of The Athletic had a similar bunch.

Apart from those above, there are other considerations from Vannini. Let’s examine them one by one.
