CU Buffs assistant coaches head into offseason with uncertainty

Throughout his career, Kurt Roper has worked with a lot of quarterbacks at several different schools.

After barely getting started with Colorado's quarterbacks, Roper has no idea if he'll get to continue working with the Buffaloes.

"Obviously it's not easy," he said after Saturday's 33-21 loss to California, which ended the Buffaloes' season at 5-7 (2-7 Pac-12).

CU athletic director Rick George fired head coach Mike MacIntyre on Nov. 18. While the rest of the staff — including Roper — is still employed by the Buffs, there is plenty of uncertainty about their futures.

Roper, hired as quarterbacks coach in January, took over as interim head coach last week but isn't sure if he'll be looking for another job in the next few weeks.
