Colorado is the last remaining Power 5 program without a head coach. The Buffaloes lost Mel Tucker to Michigan State last week.

According to a new report from FootballScoop, Colorado is nearing a hire to replace Tucker. The school has reportedly narrowed its search down to two names: Bret Bielema and Troy Calhoun

Bielema, the former Wisconsin and Arkansas head coach, and Calhoun, the longtime Air Force head man are both “strong candidates” for the position, per FootballScoop. A hire is expected in the next 36 hours.

Bielema compiled a 97-58 overall record in 12 seasons with the Badgers and Razorbacks. He was recently hired by the New York Giants as an outside linebackers coach, but is clearly angling to get back to being a college head coach. Bielema previously expressed interest in the Michigan State job before Tucker was hired.

Calhoun, meanwhile, has gone 98-69 in 13 seasons at Air Force. He’s led the Falcons to 10 bowl games and finished the 2019 season ranked 22nd in the AP poll.

Colorado has also been linked to Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who starred for the Buffaloes before playing in the NFL.

However, the latest report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler indicates it is unlikely Bieniemy returns to his alma mater.

My understanding with Eric Bieniemy and CU: there's been no major traction so far and Bieniemy figures to be prominent coaching candidate in 2021 NFL cycle, but perhaps something will change if Buffs could still make late push. — Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) February 19, 2020

As it stands, it seems like CU will have a new head coach in place by the end of the week.
