Two programs familiar with a teardown and rebuild are set to meet on the opening Friday of college football.
Colorado has competed in two bowls over the past 15 years with numerous coaching changes. When the Mike MacIntyre era ended in 2018, Mel Tucker was picked to be the next upcoming star from the Georgia coaching tree.
Tucker spent just a single season in Boulder before exiting for Michigan State, taking a few recruits and current players through the portal.
Head coach Karl Dorrell enters his third year off consecutive four-win seasons.
The rebuild is ongoing for Colorado, just as TCU is starting from scratch.
Gary Patterson was one of the more respected head coaches in college football, but losing a voice in the locker room was the ultimate ending to one of the longest-tenured coaches in FBS.
Outside of playing Texas Tech and Kansas, TCU won just four conference games over the past three seasons. The respected 4-2-5 defense of the Horned Frogs had become the laughing stock of Power Five stop units.
TCU finished last year’s 5-7 season ranked near dead last in tackling, Havoc and Defensive Finishing Drives.
Patterson’s departure paved the way for SMU head coach Sonny Dykes, as the Air Raid will move from Dallas to Fort Worth.
