Rick George.Who is the athletic director at Colorado?
He’s already hired Mel Tucker and Karl Dorrell.
Both of those guys had large decade-ish stints in the NFL. Dorrell had a run at UCLA as the HC from 03-07 but was fired.
Other than Tucker’s one magical year (which may have been a fluke) neither coach is having tons of success.
Bottom line: Rick George seems to value NFL experience over recent (last five years)/relevant (college level) head coaching experience.
That formula hasn’t quite worked out so we will see if he goes down that path again.
If he does, Walters doesn’t fit…unless RG loses the “Hefty NFL experience” requirement. If that happens Walters is a perfect fit.
