Just over a week since former University of Colorado Boulder head coach Mel Tucker signed a six-year contract worth $5.5 million per season with the Michigan State Spartans, the search for his replacement appears to be coming to a close.
Since Tucker’s departure, Colorado reached out to Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who, as a CU alum, appeared to be a popular choice among fans initially following Tucker’s resignation. However, the former Colorado running back has reportedly withdrawn from the coaching search as of Wednesday morning.
Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian reportedly interviewed for the job Wednesday and is believed to be the favorite to land the position according to CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd.
