Colorado Buffaloes Promote Pat Shurmur to Co-Offensive Coordinator Amid Losing Streak

Former Giants coach Shurmur brought on to rejuvenate struggling Buffaloes offense, as the team grapples with a four-loss streak in its last five games.

Pat Shurmur, known for his NFL head coach gigs at the Giants and Browns, has been appointed as co-offensive coordinator for the Colorado Buffaloes amid a concerning four-loss streak in five games.
Shurmur's new role marks a strategic shift in responsibility away from current offensive coordinator Sean Lewis, who will maintain his title but now shares it with the former Giants leader.
Despite a strong start to the season, with a three-game winning streak, the Buffaloes have faltered with back-to-back losses to Stanford and UCLA, prompting this change in leadership.
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of head coach Deion Sanders, has been put under significant pressure this season, with the highest number of sacks in the league—something the team hopes Shurmur can help mitigate.
Apart from his NFL experience, Shurmur has served in various roles within college and NFL ranks, including stints as an offensive coordinator with the Rams, Eagles, Vikings and Broncos.
