GREELEY, Colo. (AP) — Three-time Super Bowl champion Ed McCaffrey is the new head football coach at Northern Colorado.
“I am excited to be joining the University of Northern Colorado as their Head Football Coach!” McCaffrey announced on Instagram, and the school confirmed his hiring minutes later via a news release.
A news conference to formally introduce McCaffrey as the program’s 16th head coach was scheduled for Friday. He replaces Earnest Collins Jr., who went 28-72 in nine seasons in Greeley, including 2-10 this season.
The Bears are a member of the FCS’s Big Sky Conference.
