Over the past few years, there has been a lot of upheaval for the Colorado Buffaloes. Since 2015, CU has replaced the entire defensive staff, and only two of the original coaches from Mike MacIntyre’s first year in 2013 remain (Klayton Adams and Gary Bernardi). The point is, MacIntyre has been here five years, and his staff is undergoing an evolution. With the new hires and reshuffling of positions in the offseason, the change is nearly complete.
Defensively, this group of coaches could not be more different than the original group. Kent Baer at DC had a lot of extensive high-level coaching experience, but he preferred running his own unit.
