Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian plans to rebuff interest from Colorado's head coaching search and remain in Tuscaloosa.
Chris Low of ESPN reported the news, noting Sarkisian will receive a raise that will make him one of college football's highest-paid assistants as part of a new deal with Alabama.
Colorado is looking to replace Mel Tucker, who left after one season to take over for Mark Dantonio at Michigan State. The Buffaloes went 5-7 in 2019.
Air Force coach Troy Calhoun and former Wisconsin and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema are the other coaches receiving serious consideration, per Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports.
