One year ago today, Karl Dorrell was fired as CU HC
- Thread starter Jens1893
- Start date
I can only thank KD for the depth of his head coaching incompetence. Had he been any good, at all, had he not lost almost all the good players—leaving behind the worst team in CF, no way the timing of his eventual demise would have worked out for us to get Coach Prime.
It’s all love here.

It almost is like we hired Karl so we could tank for Coach Prime

Mike McIntyre dropping seven straight in 2018 leading to the second 5-7 season
Mel Tugger taking the red-eye to a bigger payday in East Trashcan in early 2020 after a third straight 5-7 2019 season
Karl Dorrell signed his contract after chowing down on a sub. Navigating COVID. Brings longtime backup QB and Safety Sam Noyer back in from the portal. Proceeds to light up a shortened season until facing Utes and then Horns - 4-2 2020 with a bowl appearance. COY, and thinking a dude was hired by accident. Then three games into the 2021 season - 4-8, any and all progress and hope were snuffed out to the end of the 2022 season 1-11.
Really, the last five to six seasons were such a big let down. Now, even with two losses, I feel like there is still sunshine peeking through.

Are we still paying Dorrell?
Is he trying to get a job?
He dropped off the face of the earth

Oh how far we've come.
it's really fukking amazing
nobody...NOBODY could have imagined what has transpired over the last 12 months. It's almost movie-worthy.
Any fired HC has to make a good faith effort to get employment in order to get paid what they are owed. KD has been coaching each year since 1989 for a total of 33 years when he was fired so it's not unreasonable for him to take a year off before finding a job. Does that mean he doesn't get paid for this year? That's what CU's and his lawyers would sort out.

Surreal . . .
Would've made a difference with coach tugger.... then he'd have done something to get our football program dissolved by the regents.
KD performing better with different admission standards? Lol, lmao even.
No doubt. You know, for as hated as he seems to be, his son works for the AD. So the AD and Dorrell’s son don’t seem to have any bad will toward each other.
Don't move to Utah

I would go missing myself when the 1-11 thing has been mentioned half a million times in the last few months and people who didn't already know start asking who the coach was for such an inept team.
