Colorado Assistant Football Coach Loses Home, Possessions in Wildfires

Colorado inside linebackers coach Mark Smith tweeted Thursday night that he lost his home and "every material possession" in the wildfires in Boulder County outside Denver.

”Just got word that every material possession we had today is now gone,” Smith said tweeted Thursday night. ”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 recently finished his first season with the Buffaloes under Colorado head coach Karl Dorrell. Prior to Colorado, Smith served as the defensive backs coach for Arkansas before becoming the defensive coordinator at Long Island University in July '20.
