Coach Prime reportedly losing defensive coordinator to the SEC
According to multiple reports today, Colorado defensive coordinator Charles Kelly is heading back to the SEC.
Reports share that Kelly is leaving for a position on the defensive staff of Hugh Freeze at Auburn.
It marks a return to the SEC for Kelly, who joined Prime's staff in Boulder after a few seasons on Nick Saban's defensive staff at Alabama.
Kelly has also spent time in the SEC as the special teams coordinator at Tennessee, and also spent a few seasons calling the defense at Florida State as well.
Auburn is the alma mater of Kelly, who played defensive back for the Tigers from 1986-89, later joining the staff as a graduate assistant in the early 90s.
The move means Deion Sanders will be looking for a new defensive play caller after changing offensive coordinators in-season from Sean Lewis to Pat Shurmur. The Buffs staff will have a new-look in 2024 as they've lost a couple coaches (including Lewis) to other opportunities this off season already.
