Colorado assistant football coach Mark Smith loses 'everything' in wildfires

Mark Smith, the inside linebackers coach for the Colorado Buffaloes, said he and his family lost "every material possession" in the wildfires that have burned hundreds of homes and businesses outside Denver since Thursday morning.

"Just got word that every material possession we had today is now gone," Smith posted to Twitter. "Our home, cars, and everything we had in our home lost to the fires that ripped through our community. Thank you to those who reached out. Processing how to completely start over and grateful for our health."

Smith just completed his first season with the Buffaloes under head coach Karl Dorrell.
