The announcement of Jon Embree's firing as head coach at Colorado came as a shock to most of the Buffaloes’ 2013 recruits. It wasn't enough for defensive end Marcus Loud (Houston/Wheatley) to decommit, but it was enough for him to consider taking visits elsewhere.
Loud, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound defensive end, said the news of Embree being let go after only two seasons was “heartbreaking.” Embree went 4-21 in two seasons, including 1-11 this season.
