The interim coach is Mike Sanford Jr. His dad played and coached at USC.
I spoke to his dad when he was an assistant coach at USC and I was the recruiting coordinator for the North Orange County Trojan Club when Dr. Woody Hawkins was our president. The club was founded by Dr. Bob Francis many years ago.
Later, I met Mike Sanford Sr’s wife at a subway fast food near Los Alamitos high school. She was wearing a USC top and I started a conversation with her and she confirmed she was Mike seniors wife. Small world team! Hoping Mike Jr gets the full time job at Colorado. He is off to a good start and his resume looks good!.
Being the recruiting coordinator at the NOC Trojan Club was a lot of work but a lot of fun too.

Colorado picks up first win of 2022 season, upsets Cal with help from late pass breakup in overtime. The Buffaloes became the final FBS team to earn a win this season at home against the Golden Bears
By Austin Nivison, Oct 15, 2022
There are no longer any winless teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision ranks. It took overtime and a miraculous pass break-up, but the Colorado Buffaloes defeated the California Golden Bears, 20-13, for their first win of the season.
In a game in which neither the Buffaloes nor the Golden Bears set any kind of offensive records, the teams went to overtime locked at 13-13. On his team's first possession of overtime,
Colorado quarterback J.T. Shrout found Montana Lemonious-Craig for a 22-yard touchdown strike.
On the ensuing Cal possession, the Golden Bears missed several opportunities to tie the game. In one instance, quarterback Jack Plummer found receiver Mason Starling wide open in the end zone. However, Starling was a little lackadaisical reeling the ball in, and a Colorado defender knocked it out of his hands at the last second.
Shortly thereafter, Cal failed to find the end zone on fourth-and-goal, and Colorado got into the win column in its first game under interim coach Mike Sanford, who took over after Karl Dorrell was fired. The crowd at Folsom Field appreciated the effort and rushed the field after Plummer's final pass fell incomplete.”….

He's a boise state douche that was fired by western freaking kentucky.
Have to admit it's admirable that he keeps at it. Keeps getting fired, keeps getting jobs. Keeps at it. Keeps getting jobs. must be an arduous life.
