CU president Todd Saliman gives update on Buffs’ head coach search

CU president Todd Saliman gave a small update on how the head coach search is going

University of Colorado president Todd Saliman joined Voice of the Buffs Mark Johnson on his pregame radio show prior to kickoff between CU and Oregon on Saturday.

Johnson, of course, quickly brought up the ongoing head coach search and asked Saliman about the role he is taking. Essentially, his response indicated that chancellor Phil DiStefano and athletic director Rick George have been delegated with the most work, as you’d expect. Colorado has also hired a search firm to help.

We haven’t seen any specific names linked directly to CU yet, but the expectation is that a head coach will be named soon after the season.

Below is what Saliman said, courtesy of the Colorado Football/Basketball Radio Network:

“I did talk to the chancellor and I talk to Rick, but they’re the ones whose job it is to go out and do that work. Rick has been traveling all over the country talking to folks and he has reported that there are excellent, excellent coaches out there who are interested in this job and we’re thrilled and we can’t wait to get one of them here.”
