#Fire Coach Dorrell

In Dorrell’s presser, he said that he thought rotating QBs would get them into a rhythm because that’s how they practice.

How f*+%ing stupid can you be? How is a man making 4MM/yr saying stuff like that? This man is an absolute moron
I know a couple of morons, and they are pissed at being compared to HCKD. They will get you for this, if they can figure out how to turn a doorknob and get out of their rooms.
 
Except we need RG to go as well. There is no way that he should be allowed to hire the next coach after how bad he botched the KD hire.

agreed, but I think replacing RG comes later since PD gets to finish the school year. I think timing just won't work, but hopefully we can get a new RG prior to firing KD. Unless he does have a great relationship with KD, then he can talk him into a lesser buyout and early going away party
 
I will say one more thing people won't like.the negatives of a bad CU football team are already baked into all the numbers for CU. Whether that is fundraising, applications and enrollments, ticket sales... CU has been dog **** for most of 18 years - there isn't much that will happen now that makes things worse.

The upside is incredible, but there isn't much left to lose.
Not so sure that is accurate when the TV money disappears.

I think CU should just fire him and decline to pay him one cent. Say "sue us, let's see what a jury has to say about your breach of contract suit, maybe we get some jury nullification going, maybe the jury thinks you don't deserve squat." Then maybe he comes for a settlement, or maybe we get to drag his ass through court for a few years. And before you say that will cost CU a bunch of attorney fee money, it won't. CU has a staff of talented attorneys working in the General Counsel's office who are already on salary. And if we have to pay his attorney fees, I say it is money well spent, for the sheer pleasure of messing with KD for a few years.

I want him fired as much as the next guy... But enrollment numbers are down and the AD is on a death spiral of buyouts. Nothing will happen this season
We do not owe any buyouts!
We are all paid up on everyone who was fired

I am watching teams like Oregon State and Washington State, teams in our conference with no particular institutional or financial advantages over us (arguably they both have less to offer intrinsically...Corvallis and Pullman vs Boulder/Denver) doing very well this year. They both look good, pass the eye test and have players who can compete. They are both "have nots" and yet we'd kill to be doing as well as they are right now. So this idea that it is all NIL, that smaller market teams and such are doomed in this new era, etc seems to be perhaps true when we are talking about things like National Championships, but not in terms of competitiveness in our conference.

There is no reason we should think we can't be doing at least as well as they are. Jonathan Smith is a great coach. He's also so in love with his alma mater he might not leave even though he could do much better. Wish we could get lucky with a hire like that. Bottom line is the idea that we can't get to their level is a cop out.
 
Oh yeah, add to that the fact that Smith and Dorrell's salaries per year are comparable. And Washington State's head coach makes less than both of them.
 
Guys, I like where our heads are at, thinking big picture re regents, chancellor, ad, etc. However, I think we're missing the issue at hand. Given the undeniable link between hypogonadism and left leading ideologies, it's derivatives including the lack of physical prowess, I think it's prudent to investigate the water sanitation in Denver and Boulder. I have no idea if it's an excess of flouride or xeno-estrogens but I'm pretty sure we can cover the whole umbrella and shoot our shot all in one go
 
KD needs to be fired today. Not tomorrow.
CU can't afford to keep him and the embarrassment that he is.
Nobody will show at Folsom, which is expensive.
This is Embree level bad and this was predictable as they both had zero credentials.
Play McCown now. He already proved to be way better than #1 and #2 and much more likely to be the future.
Chris Wilson is awful and he needs to go with KD.
 
If they give him the full season, I think they can persuade him to negotiate a smaller number for the good of the program. If they fire him in-season, they ignite the situation and make it difficult to ask for concessions.
He's not going to work again. He'll negotiate. Why would he want to wait until after the season to get fired? He is self-aware enough to know he's embarrassing himself each week. He should be relieved to have this misery ended. Let's talk about a soft landing!
 
I think KD:

50% thinks he is a good coach
And the 50% who questions that is too arrogant to admit it. So you have those ridiculous quotes like the one I mentioned above.

So - If money is a factor - KD won't take a reduced buyout until he is embarrassed and doesn't want to continue with the job. Most people would be embarrassed by now. But I don't think he gets it. It might take going 0-7 and really ugly atmospheres at Folsom to get through to a tone-deaf KD. You try to fire him now, he will probably think he is a victim. For most programs, the money wouldn't matter, and KD is fired tomorrow.

Issue is this: the programs for which the money is no object would not have ever been in the position to hire Karl Dorrell as their HC. A program in 2022 with Karl Dorrell as Head Coach prima facie desperate and financially poor.

Playing the 4-2-5 defense against three teams that run the ball well, and then noticing how little we were subbing the 2 big guys up front was troublesome to say the least, and now we own the worst run defense in the country. If the theory is that the PAC12 teams play a more spread style of play and do not focus on the run is naive because once they watch our film, everyone in the league will run on us

Pretty stupid, apparently. “Our qb’s are struggling to get into rhythm. Lets only let them pass in 3rd and long.”
