BOULDER — New University of Colorado head coach Mel Tucker, who was hired on Dec. 5, has made his first hires for his initial coaching staff for the Buffaloes.
Tucker is bringing two of his colleagues from the University of Georgia in naming Jay Johnson offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and Tyson Summers as defensive coordinator and safeties coach. Johnson spent the last two seasons handling Georgia's quality control for offense, while Summers did the same for the last year- and-a-half for the defense. But between the two, they have a combined 34 years of coaching experience (14 as coordinators).
