Former Colorado coach Gary Barnett will return to CU to join the broadcast team for Buffs' football this fall on a limited basis, the school announced Friday. Barnett will replace Larry Zimmer as the full-time analyst on Buffs games in 2016.
Barnett will be in the radio booth for two games this fall, a road game at UCLA and the home finale against Southern California. Zimmer is wrapping up his 42nd year calling Buffs' football this fall.
Barnett, in seven years as CU's head coach, led the Buffs to a 49-38 record and five bowl appearances.
