Jim Leavitt shouldn’t be the next Buffaloes coach

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.

We’re begrudgingly writing up Jim Leavitt because too many of you have clamored for him on Twitter and in the comments. Fine.

Leavitt, as you know, was the Buffaloes’ defensive coordinator in 2015 and 2016, the latter of which he led one of the best defenses in the country and was a Broyles Award finalist for best assistant coach in football.
