BOULDER — His first time at the University of Colorado, he was an assistant football coach for a team that won a national championship and three Big Eight Conference titles. In his second stint in Boulder, he coached the Buffaloes to their only Big 12 championship. Now he will return to the state and school he loves for a third time, and hopes to bring that good fortune with him again.
CU and KOA announced Friday that Gary Barnett will join the broadcast team for Colorado football on a limited basis this fall, and in 2016, he will replace the legendary Larry Zimmer as the full-time analyst.
