While coach Dorrell is big on keeping it in the Pac-12 family. We took to Twitter to see if the fans think he was the right man for the job.

Regardless of how some of the fans feel about this hire, this is the reality. He has big coaching experience, and is looking to come back home to the Pac and help grow an already talented offensive team.

Here is what Mike Sanford had to say about joining the Buffs family.

"“The Colorado football program as well as the university itself stands for everything I value,” Sanford said. “My family and I could not be more excited to return to our roots out west in Pac-12 country. The University of Colorado has been a dream destination of mine since I was a kid growing up in California in the early Nineties. I have the highest level of respect for Karl Dorrell as a football coach and for the man of integrity that he is. We will work tirelessly to build a championship offense that will make the CU family proud.”"

Head Coach Karl Dorrell took a lengthy time in choosing this offensive coordinator. We hope Coach Sanford can bring the balance to the offense Dorrell has been looking for. Welcome to Boulder Mike.
