The former coach will return to CU as a color analyst for the flagship KOA broadcast.
The speculation is over. After announcing he would be stepping away from the broadcast booth after 42 years behind the mic, Larry Zimmer will be replaced by Gary Barnett as the color analyst on KOA's radio broadcast. The former Colorado Buffaloes head coach will return to Boulder on a limited basis this fall and full-time in 2016. Barnett returns to Boulder after being forced to resign from the program in 2005 following sexual abuse and recruiting scandals. He posted a 49-38 record during his seven-year tenure with the Buffs and received numerous 'Coach of the Year' honors throughout his career.
