CU Buffs, Rick George using search firm for head coach search

The Colorado Buffaloes began 0-5 and fired Karl Dorrell. They named Mike Sanford the interim head coach and won their first game, 20-13, against Cal.

Athletic director Rick George has mentioned that this will be a long coaching search, and we might not have an answer until after the season.

The Buffs have now hired a search firm to help out with the decision, according to Brian Howell of BuffZone.

Colorado has retained the search firm of Eastman & Beaudine to help with the process of hiring a full-time head football coach. According to a BuffZone source, CU has had a “high level of interest” in the job, leading to the decision to hire a search firm.

There are plenty of intriguing factors with the Buffs job, including the fact that they could move to the Big 12. Even with Dorrell out, many recruits have stayed true to their commitment to Boulder.

We have already discussed many potential names from different outlets, and some big-time names out there make sense for the Buffs.

As the 2022 season continues to develop, we might not see an answer for a head coach, but hiring a search firm is an exciting decision by Colorado.
