Karl Dorrell introductory press conference (on now)
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
A little concerning he didn't bring up recruiting with those hires.
Resources given for recruiting also good
There is no perfect scenario. Every place has restrictions on what you can do. Better thing to focus is not on any restrictions, but on working together to find out what we can do.
I have everything I need to build this staff. I'm flattered by the budget that has been given to me.

Wish when he was talking about Academics that he would say this is Colorado and not Michigan State!

after this press conference, I'm now hoping that KD is to CU what David Shaw has been to Stanford (with a little bit more of a high-powered offensive attack)

I've clearly stated my happiness with hire on the other thread but after watching this PC, I'm now 100% convinced that we hired the right guy for this job. Karl Dorrell is no mercenary chasing the biggest paycheck. He is a good and decent man who now has his dream job where he had already bought a home. Karl Dorrell is home now and I'm so happy about that. He is going to do big things here.

Impressive press conference, let’s see how he follows up his staff, keeping players and recruiting, but I think this was a good first impression.

He is very classy. Honestly if I am parent of an athlete I would be very happy with what he is saying. That can not hurt recruiting.

He does need to be given memo on tweeting "RELENTLESS" and wearing shorts to get those style points. Seems to have a lot of substance to him. I am ready to root for him.
Explains why he hadn't been back in college. Said that other opportunities didn't have the things you need (staff budget, recruiting budget, facilities) to win along with those other things like CU-Boulder has that make it special.

Think we just got that after "Will you miss the hill from the practice field to Dal Ward?"
He is truely a gentleman and I hope he kills it here.
I am pretty impressed with him just as a guy in general. I like what he had to say and how he said it regarding CU, his dream job, recruiting, teaching. Overall, I'd give his press conference an 8 out 10. Doesn't mean anything in terms of on-field success but he won me over today.

I'm excited about this... but I want a Chev endorsement.
Like I said previously, this felt A LOT like Tad's introductory presser. His coaching staff hires are going to tell me a lot.

He needs Chev and a few more killer recruiters to have the balance of what todays players are all about! KD will win the parents hearts, and Chev will win the players hearts.
Much more relaxed now.

Is there going to be a video of the press conference uploaded?
Since he mentioned meeting with coaches this afternoon, I have to assume Chev is one of the first meetings and we should hear from him soon.
Nothing in that press conference to dislike. You can tell he truly cares about the program and its players. That is not something he is spewing.
Again, this all boils down to who he brings in for AC's and how he will recruit. I'm on the bandwagon.
I thought it was interesting how he spoke about his offense and defense. Sounds like he will keep the 3-4, or variation in place for that. I do like the balanced attack on offense approach. I have never been a guy who prefers one way or another as you limit yourself extremely that way.
