Arguably the most talented football player on Colorado’s roster last fall, cornerback Isaiah Oliver, is gone to the NFL. Where do the Buffs turn from here? It appears they’ve brought in help to find the answer.
Ashley Ambrose will join CU’s staff as cornerbacks coach, the school announced on Thursday, to join returning CU secondary coach ShaDon Brown in bolstering a unit often picked apart in 2017. The Buffs’ pass defense allowed 242 yards per game last season (No. 95 nationally) and 11 touchdowns through the air over the final five weeks.
CU gave Ambrose his first full-time gig as an FBS assistant, defensive backs in 2010, before he made college coaching stops at California (2011-12), Idaho (2014), Texas State (2015) and Boise State (2016-18).
