I know CU has a terrible reputation for supporting the football program, but there’s a zero point zero percent chance Dorrell is allowed to run off two winless seasons before getting fired.

What pair of size 4 Nike's is he wearing today?
Probably happy with the “improvements” this week.
What is the average cost of season tickets at CU, including the mandatory donation? IIRC, I saw the cheapest at $500 total this summer, so if you consider that the average is $1000/season ticket, which is probably on the low end, a net non renewal in 2023 of even 5k is $5m in lost revenue, when Dorrell’s salary is $3.8m. That doesn’t even consider the lost concession revenue from those 5k fewer season tickets holders.
The math is simple and it’s really a no brainer that keeping him around is going to cost them more money than firing him. So the whole, “cu is broke” argument just doesn’t hold up. They aren’t any more broke than any other middling to bottom feeding institution. It’s college football.. coaching changes are routine.

Texas can fire Sark and we’ll take him
I’d actually like to know a well…without sarcasm.
I think that many people say they’re going to not renew and end up renewing anyway. They enjoy the tailgates and seeing Ralphie run. I also think yesterday is an example of what ends up happening: people just adapt to losing and still want to enjoy a sunny day in Boulder. The AD just finds another set of suckers (or road team fans) to buy tickets. The level of interest shown on this page doesn’t match what’s going on with the stadium. Until people actually stop going, nothing will happen.
But I read all Spring and Summer on this board how they and everyone they knew were dumping their season tickets. Did that actually happen or no?
I also just can’t imagine an 0-12 season isn’t going to have an effect on it. Even if they only lose 3k season ticket holders, that’s still likely more more than Dorrell’s salary when concession and merch losses are accounted for. Of course, this also doesn’t take into consideration any stoppage of annual donations outside of season tickets.
What is going on with Shaw? He didn’t just forget how to coach but it seems like things have fallen apart a little bit. It’s not for lack of resources and it’s not like the conference has been particularly tough the last few years. Burn out?
Not season tickets, but we traveled to Folsom 2-3 times a year before this year. Zero games at Folsom for us this year. If they don’t care about the program, then it’s pretty hard for me to justify caring about the program.
List updated from last week. Coach Cardboard was 4th last week.
He was able to hold the Harbaugh system together for about 7 years, but didn’t keep the same recruiting level going and the wheels finally fell off.
Here’s one thing to consider- next year the Huskers come to town to play in Boulder. I think last time there was a big number of Huskers who bought CU season tickets so they could go just to the game in Boulder. So I bet season ticket seasons go down big time from CU fans… but will it look artificially unchanged because of the Huskers???
True, but imagine the actual CU fan excitement, season tickets sales, donations, etc if they showed they actually care, fire Dorrell, and hire someone (relatively) exciting as HC. There’s a major opportunity for the 2023 season with Nebraska and CSU coming to Folsom, but not if they keep Dorrell.
The fact that Sark is there after taking Bama to the wire is a joke. Can you imagine having expectations like that lol
No, I literally cannot imagine that because the school I love has lost 4 straight games by an average of 31 points/game and the HC is still employed.
idk, that Jeff Scott guy is KD without the good 2020 year. 4-21 (1-14)
This has been my argument ever since MT left. The school was freaking out because the college football world was losing its mind, but not paying for a good coach was very short sighted for the overall health of the program/AD
I think the AD gave a crap load of tickets away yesterday. I know they were offering them to all of the local schools
South Florida played the gators to a 28-31 loss in the Swamp. Don’t think CU would be with 30 of them.

I completely and 1000% agree with you. I think they shouldn’t wait a second longer to make a change. There’s a chance to create enthusiasm, drive up season ticket sales to actual Coloradoans and Buff fans. I was just saying that the numbers of season ticket holders next year will look artificially high because of the Husker fans trying to get tickets.
the potential benefits are huge to make a change ASAP. So much opportunity to make a bold statement to CU fans that the football program is on the right track.
Rick George is taking a big and unnecessary risk letting him have the potential to win next week. Just really stupid.
