Since 1920, the Colorado Buffaloes football program has been led by 19 different full-time head coaches. Some names may be more familiar than others, but the history remains rich.

Our list starts soon after the days of Fred Folsom and it of course wraps with the Buffs’ most recent head coach, Karl Dorrell, who was relieved by interim Mike Sanford.
Enjoy a look back at the past 100 years of Colorado football head coaches:
