Karl Dorrell officially named Colorado HC

Guy has the personality of a wet blanket. He eats plain Cheerios, without the honey nut. I’m sure he could motivate me to take a nap while watching golf this afternoon. Hire him as my Head Nap Coach.
Nah he eats bran flakes... not cheerios

Chev has now scrubbed his Twitter of all things CU. Concerning
I can’t imagine Chev would be told he doesn’t have a place on the new staff, so definitely feels like this is sour grapes from him.
Coaches who leave after one season for double the money will make up stories to cover for their cupidity.
It's been an interesting turn of events as far as the coaching search (and this thread) is concerned.
I'd expect Chev now knows he has no immediate future at CU. He loves CU, but the best thing he can do is to go somewhere else, build his resume and perhaps come back as the HC someday.
Yes. Because I’ve had success betting games the last three years, I’ve been able to make serious contributions to the AD relative to my total income. I just wish that I would’ve invested the same amount I’ve contributed in Bitcoin the day I heard about it so CU wouldn’t be in this spot.Vegas winnings included?
I feel dirty for agreeing with the last part.

Ok but 4 of those programs (tOSU, UCLA, UW and Stanford) had serious advantages as a program when making those hires that we just don’t have. tOSU is a blue blood program, UCLA has an incredible local talent base, Stanford had become a legit college football program under Harbaugh and hired his top assistant, and UW hired one of the most in demand coaches in the country. CU is in a bad spot right now, both in recent performance and national perception - we could really use some sizzle and this is a pretty sizzle-free hire.
The Northwestern hire of Fitzgerald was a tragic situation but that situation scares me a little as a Buff fan. By all accounts Fitzgerald has been really good at NW, but very good at that school means a guy with a losing conference record with 9 bowl games and just one division title in 14 seasons in the softer Western Division on the Big10.
To me the Dorrell hire looks good if CU’s definition of success looks like Northwestern’s football program but if you are someone who has higher expectations then this hire is pretty underwhelming.

Where exactly do people think Chev is going to go? Nobody is going to hire him as a head coach, I think he’d even struggle to get a G5 OC job, especially this late in the cycle

He’s also not the intermHC anymore. As of now, he probably doesn’t know his role as of yet.
I’m curious if RG has reached out to the bigger donors selling KD and if so, how he’s doing it.
I don’t know any big donors, but as a small time donor and season ticket holder, I have a hard time seeing RG being able to sell the hire to me as a big time program move making me want to keep my season tickets, let alone to someone donating tens of thousands of dollars or more.
Have any of you heard from any major donors since early yesterday afternoon?

That is fair. I'm going to stay with CU admin does not care about championships despite all the big talk by RG. There is a reason CU cant find anyone to coach that the fans are excited about

Weird considering I was just on his page and it is still loaded with CU tweets and props. Scrubbed “all things CU” is a bit of a stretch.

And that reason is the weak Pac-12 distribution. I'm staying with the proven liar conti ues to lie. Your friendship taints your view.
Chev has no immediate future at any P5 school as a coordinator or head coach. He could very well continue to build his resume here at CU, if the right OC is found.

maybe, but he seems hell bent on being a head coach, don’t see him being interested in making a lateral move at best

Except Mel was complaining about CU before MSU needed a new coach

Hopefully he stays and convinces some of the new class to stay.
But it was okay for him to lie to everyone. He’s a flimflam artist.

Which means he wasn't happy, not that he was lied to.
I don't know what it looked like before, but yesterday he was retweeting all kinds of CU related stuff

They have a wide receiver coach already. Melvin hired a guy who was coaching at some high school. It was a very Melvin like hire. My guess is Chev stays as the OC/WR/RC. I don't see Dorrell not keeping a top 25 recruiter nationally, and I don't see Chev not wanting to work for a man he considers a mentor.

His words were CU made promises, CU failed to deliver on promises. And they failed to deliver on things even after they knew MSU was in play.

Well, I think that depends on how the hiring process went. If he found out about it through the media, I could see him being pissed off.
Hopefully, they can convince him to stay on board. That would be a huge loss.
