Colorado has stripped offensive coordinator Sean Lewis of his offensive playcalling duties and is elevating analyst Pat Shurmur to an on-field role with the expectation that he will take over as the team's playcaller, sources told ESPN.
Lewis' new role is still to be settled, a source told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg. An on-field assistant would need to be removed to make room for Shurmur.
A former NFL head coach, Shurmur came to Colorado this summer as part of coach Deion Sanders' staff after over 20 years in the pro league.
The change in playcallers follows a 28-16 loss to No. 19 UCLA — the Buffaloes' second straight defeat and fourth in the team's past five games.
