On why he got into coaching
"Coaching gives me the opportunity to help carry on the tradition that I love. Ralphie is the best part of CU, and getting to carry on the legacy for past, present, and future Buff fans is an honor. The privilege of being a Ralphie Handler was an exceptional experience for me, and I want to share that with every handler who comes through the program. I want Ralphie to continue to represent the pride, tradition, community, and legacy of the Colorado Buffaloes."
