No mention of Lewis in the cubuffs.com article for the second scrimmage. I know Lewis was the QB last season leading that bad offense but he still got to earn the job. Shrout & McCown are QBs mentioned in that article and I don't have a 247 account so what do I know? I'm already bracing myself for Lewis entering the transfer portal since Lewis was not recruited by the current staff.

Yes. Lewis’ best chance to play P5 is right here whether he starts or not.
He'd have to go to a G5 team or FCS in that case. Fair or unfair, that offense performance last year is going to go with him anywhere he goes.
Texas State, North Texas, UAB, etc……
When did we start an unfounded rumor thread?
I always thought it was the Terrance Lang thread
Is he on campus yet?
UB -****ing- L!!!!
If it were Nick Saban, charges would have been pressed against the cameraman.

Dont agree...coaches have been fired for far less...but irrelavant..we suck. We are an 11 point dog to a team picked 8th in the Big 12..at home....
RG had a chance to purge KD ... instead he was the idiot who apologized on behalf of KD after the game...
Dumpster fire...

When has a coach been fired for far less? Again you’re using it as an excuse to fire him not a reason on its own.

A coach in Illinois was fired for putting an All Lives Matter poster on his door...a coach in Georgia for a tweet comparing Stacey Abrams to Fat Albert..and coach Jimmy Lake for apparently pushing a player...
Go try knocking the camera out of the hand of a media member covering your company...then disappear for 24 hours while your boss apologizes on your behalf..
It made national news..embarrassing the University. Was played many times on ESPN. Damaging enough that RG immediately apologized. But the arrogant KD ....waited 24 hours.
If he worked for me and embarrassed my company like that... he'd be gone.
Don’t pick on RG. He’s the sole reason we were ahead of this NIL thing.

His hiring of KD sealed the deal on the death of CU football....perhaps the most illogical and ridiculous hire ever...
Hope I am eating crow at season end..
Let’s not leave out the details. First guy you mentioned was an assistant at Illinois State who took down a BLM poster and replaced it with an ALM poster. And by the way he sued based on his first amendment rights - is that the bar you want to set? Second guy, another assistant at UT Chattanooga, mocked a woman on Twitter calling her “Fat Albert”, “Big Girl”, and “enjoy the buffet”. Lake was suspended for hitting his own player in the head on the sideline and during the subsequent investigation, other allegation of physical misconduct were uncovered and he was fired.
All 3 of those were arguably more serious than what Dorrell did which was less of a shove and more grabbing the dude’s lense and pushing it out of the way - he didn’t actually touch the photographer. It was bad but still don’t believe any P5 head coach (where winning is more important than pretty much anything) has been fired for less.

Lol..eye of the beholder..the poster and Stacy firings were ridiculous imho...but you are entitled to your opinion...I communicated my protest by dropping CU season tickets...
knocking the camera out of someones hand could be considered assault... the photographer could have filed charges...I know I wouldnt let that go without consequence...
Carpe diem....
But he isn’t winning and won’t win this year or next. Your hypothetical isn’t relevant. We are judged based on what we do in the real world, not some fantasy world.
Yes
So you think those firings were ridiculous but they are your basis for arguing Dorrell should be fired for something of similar severity? Hot take.
Veni, Vidi, Vici
That’s my point, if you want to fire him for poor performance, do it and own that decision, don’t hide behind that cameraman incident as some justification for a firing a guy you really want to fire for other reasons.
Dorrell was hired with almost zero initial support from the fan base, so people look for any justification to get out of his bad contract.
Jimmy Lake was not fired for smacking around a few players. He was fired for sucking as a head coach, but the shoving allowed the school to terminate what became a bad contract (edit: I should add that UW ultimately did not terminate for cause).
Rick George was not looking to exit with Dorrell. He will get four years, maybe five.

I think they go and try to make both QBs happy and not name a starter. Start on one half and the other the second half. That would be about right for this staff
Bad idea but probably right.
