Jon Embree's Staff will lead to Buffs Success

Any successful leader, any Superhero, any delicious Thanksgiving turkey is nothing without other essential parts.

And Jon Embree knows that.

He has surrounded himself with an ultimate assortment of talent and experience. He made a cliché buffet of assistant coaches that know college football and even more importantly PAC-12 football.

Greg Brown is the mad scientist; the defensive coordinator. He spent 15 years in the NFL. He’s coached the likes of the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers, along with several stints in Boulder in between.

Mike Tuiasosopo and Kanavis McGhee, also front the defense, are no-nonsense coaches that know how to get the most out of their players.

Eric Bieniemy is the wrecking ball that attended at CU; the offensive coordinator. He spent his last few years coaching ‘All-Day’. He coached Adrian Peterson with the Minnesota Viking, and knows the crucial nature of the running game on offense.

Rip Scherer and J.D. Brookhart lead the offensive charge. They are proven, and know what it takes to be successful at the highest level.

What do all these guys have in common? They are Buffs through and through, they know what it takes to reach the next level, their resumes are stacked with great experience, and they all have that winning-itch.

Embree may be inexperienced, he will be nervous this year; he may not even be the man for the job. But the one thing he’s already mastered is collaboration; “surround yourself with successful people then you will have no choice but to be successful.”
