One name we haven’t seen much in the early days of Colorado football’s head coach search is Klayton Adams.
Adams was an assistant on Mike MacIntyre’s CU staff from 2013-18, where he coached running backs, tight ends and the O-line at different points throughout his time in Boulder. He was also the Buffs’ co-offensive coordinator in 2018.
The Indianapolis Colts then hired Adams as an assistant O-line coach, a position he held from 2019-20. Prior to the 2021 season, he was moved to his current role of leading the Colts’ tight ends.
Pac-12 insider Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News believes Adams might be worth considering for Colorado’s open head job, thanks to his knowledge of the program and his NFL resume.
Don’t let the title fool you: Adams is a lineman by trade, having played center at Boise State and coached the position at Colorado when the Buffaloes won the 2016 division title. He knows what works in Boulder, and the NFL experience would play well with recruits aiming to play on Sundays.
