Jeff Traylor is an intriguing option for the CU Buffs
The UTSA Roadrunners won 12 games a season ago and are off to another decent start this year with a 3-2 record. However, the losses came against Houston and Texas, so those aren’t exactly bad losses.
With that being said, there are plenty of reasons to consider UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor as a possibility for the Colorado Buffaloes head coach opening. Here’s what Brian Howell of BuffZone wrote about Traylor:
Now in his third season at UTSA, Traylor is the reigning Conference USA coach of the year. He led the Roadrunners to a 12-2 record and C-USA title last year. He is 22-9 overall (3-2 this year). The Texas native has previously worked as an assistant at Texas, SMU and Arkansas.
Traylor is a name we haven’t seen anywhere else so far, at least not yet. But, Conference USA isn’t exactly a strong conference for football, and Traylor should want to make a move to a bigger conference.
At this point, Rick George might not be able to hire a home run coach, so he will need to look elsewhere and try to find the right guy for the job that is willing to take over a program that just might finish the season with zero wins.
Traylor makes some sense for the Buffs, and he would more than likely be thrilled to go to the Pac-12.
