on Embree has verbally accepted Colorado's offer to become its next head football coach, according to Bill McCartney, the legendary ex-Buffs' coach. Embree will hire former Buffs' great Eric Bieniemy as his offensive coordinator, McCartney said.
"Embree's going to be the head coach and Bieniemy's going to be the offensive coordinator," McCartney told The Denver Post today. "Take it to the bank and hang your hat on it."
A source close to the search also confirmed Thursday afternoon that Embree had accepted.
"It's a done deal," the source said, adding only that minor details need to be ironed out.
The source said CU is tentatively scheduling a Monday news conference to announce the hiring.
