Where will HCKD rank all time?

Obviously this season is headed for an impressive nosedive straight into the crapper, potentially of the historic 0-12 variety. Making 3 basic assumptions...

1. CU wins no more than 2 games this season, and potentially wins 1 or 0
2. They continue to get blown out in their losses
3. HCKD is fired at some point during, or immediately following the season

...where do you think Dorrell ranks all time amongst Colorado coaches, all time? And how far back do you have to go to find someone that's worse?

It feels to me like every coach over the past 20 years, with the possible exceptions of Barnett and Embree, left the program in at least somewhat better condition than how they found it. Barnett of course actually won, and Embree had the decency to both be passionate about the program and to have a mercifully short stay as Head Coach. Dorrell on the other hand hasn't won, doesn't seem to care, and will without a doubt leave the program as a hollowed out smoldering crater of a **** show, miles below the maybe-starting-to-show-a-pulse status that midnight Mel left behind him.

For me, Dorrell is the worst coach of my lifetime (I was born right around when McCartney was hired). I don't know much of anything about the Fairbanks experiment, other than the fact that it went really, really badly. Is Dorrell as bad as Fairbanks? Worse? Or does Dorrell win out there because Fairbanks had sky high expectations and no reasonable person would have thought that Dorrell was going to do a fantastic job?
 
Dorrell is the worst for me. I have not disliked a CU coach more than him. When he’s gone, the program will be at its bottom. Devoid of respectability. Devoid of talent. Devoid of memories that we once didn’t suck.

This is the first time where it truly will be a build from the bottom for the next head coach. This program has absolutely nothing going for it.

Embo was trying. He was really ****ing bad but he was trying.

I don’t even think KD is trying.

And I think the players at least bought in. It would be very hard not to mail it in as a player on this team.

If he manages to go 0-12 this year, he goes down as the worst ever.

Think of how impressive it’s gonna be when he does it in back to back years.

He’s the grim reaper of CU football. Any improvements that may have happened under HCMM and Tucker have been shat on and thrown overboard. When he gets fired CU as a program will be in the exact same spot it was when Embree was fired but the landscape has drastically changed since and so have the options of getting out of the mess.
 
I mean at least Embree rolled in and was dealt a ****ty deck by Hawk. Hawk sucked too, but we at least won some games. This KD **** is Embree levels of dysfunction, minus emotion, with a vanilla as can be scheme. Resulting in my least enjoyed era as a CU fan

Hawkins was a snake oil salesman but we only realised that after a while. Dorrell on the other hand was massively uninspiring and seemed like an asshole from the beginning.
 
I wasn't around for the Fairbanks era. For all you geezers where does he stack up with Hawk Embo and Karl?

He didn’t only try but I think he genuinely cared and probably still does. He was in over his head and the wrong guy but I think he genuinely wanted to succeed as he cared and probably still does about the program. It just didn’t work out. That happens.

KD is an asshole just cashing a check.

With Embo I was both sad and glad to see go. When KD gets the hook (probably 11/23 knowing CU) I won't have an ounce of sadness.
 
Dorrell is the worst coach I have ever seen. I have been around long enough to see Gerry Faust, Dan Hawkins, Jon Embree, Mike Locksley, Ellis Johnson, Tyrone Willingham, Gary Crowton, and Buddy Teevens. I would literally take any one of them over KD. I say that only because DII Danny doesn't have a son anymore with CFB eligibility.
 
The most surprising revelation about Dorrell is not that he’s incompentant, it’s not that he’s uninspiring, and it’s not that he is completely unqualified …

no, the most surprising thing is that he’s an arrogant dick

I thought Hawknwas rock bottom. I'd kill for the Oklahoma, West Virginia, or Georgia wins now.
