The 2024 college football season is getting extremely close, with games kicking off this weekend. One of the biggest storylines of this season, by nature of their prominent head coach, is the Colorado Buffaloes football program. A year after going 4-8, fans want to see better performances from Deion Sanders' team.
New players can help make that happen, but Sanders made some changes to the coaching staff earlier this year that he's hoping will lead to a better-drilled team overall. But in order for that to happen, the coaches have to actually want to be at the program.
Trevor Reilly resigns from Sanders' coaching staff
That wasn't the case for Trevor Reilly, who inauspiciously left the program a month before the season. It came out of the blue and was never announced by Colorado, but was recently confirmed by the school.
Colorado Buffaloes football assistant coach Trevor Reilly reportedly resigned before the start of fall camp. Sports Illustrated confirmed with CU's SID staff that he was no longer with the program. Colorado hasn't officially named a replacement for Reilly.
Reilly is a former NFL linebacker who spent five seasons in the league. He then turned to coaching, beginning that phase of his career as a graduate assistant for Sanders at Jackson State. Reilly followed Coach Prime to Colorado, where he became the program's special teams analyst.
But Reilly clearly didn't enjoy his job, hence his resignation. One thing would be Sanders firing him for performance, but Reilly leaving is not the best look for a program under the microscope.
