The Colorado Buffaloes are in the midst of finding their next head football coach. We’re here to break down the top candidates and grade them based on how they would fit in at Colorado.
Georgia defensive coordinator Mel Tucker might be everything Colorado wants. He’s a young and energetic up-and-comer. He has a big-time resume that includes extensive work as a defensive coordinator in the SEC and NFL. He’s coached in three National Championships with Ohio State (2004), Alabama (2015) and Georgia (2018). He even has NFL head coaching experience having been named the Jaguars’ interim head coach in 2011 after Jack Del Rio was fired (Tucker went 2-3 in five games); apparently he was a strong candidate to retain that position full-time.
