CU football: Gary Barnett to replace Larry Zimmer in KOA booth in 2016

Gary Barnett is rejoining the Colorado Buffaloes' family.

On Friday, it was announced that beginning in 2016, the former CU head football coach will be the full-time analyst for Buffs' broadcasts on KOA radio. He will work a pair of games this fall as well.

"I'm looking forward to being a part of everything that's going on again," said Barnett, who will replace longtime KOA analyst Larry Zimmer, who is retiring after the 2015 season, which will be his 50th as a college football broadcaster.

KOA play-by-play announcer Mark Johnson made the announcement during Friday's 27th Annual Boulder Chamber Colorado Football Kickoff Luncheon.
