**** that. If we’re gonna do something like that, I want KD back next year and I want RG to have to watch replays of every game 24/7 with his eyes pried open Clockwork Orange style.

#Fire Coach Dorrell
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
Sanford has his own track record of being dreadful. This feels like a good ole Deb Birxing of his image.
I'd take Pat Fitzgerald in a heartbeat
I probably would too but if I had options, I’d prefer someone not immediately coming off being fired at another job, particularly someone like Fitzgerald who has been at NW for 20 years and became a HC so young. He could maybe do with a year away from being a HC. I feel the same about Shaw.

That isn't saying much. @BuffSurveyor would be better than Kardboard.
AD is broke man, no possible way he can be firedPPG under Dorrell
2020 - 28.5
2021 - 18.75 (about a 35% decrease from 2020)
2022 - 11.75 (about a 37% decrease from 2021)
Those trends are consistent. And based on those trends, the 2023 Buffs score about 7.1 points per game if Dorrell is the coach.

I'd rather have Tom Herman over him. Herman's probably my dream candidate. That's a good fit for so many reasons-I think he'd get the CU community as a hole a lot more invested because of who he is. Very forward thinker. Look at some of the things he said about George Floyd's murder. He'd play really well in a place like Boulder.
Still calling Fitzgerald.
Has anyone ever booked one of those Cessnas with the banner behind it before?
If we could get consensus around 3-5 realistic HC options, we should rent one out of Boulder airport the day Karl is fired.
I can’t imagine it’d cost more than $1-2k…. They could try to ignore it, but national media would pick it up and run with it for novelty sake so they’d be forced to at least hear the names
Next step is billboards and bus ads between ricks house and the champion center

not Fitzgerald, please.
when this happens, maybe bronco mendenhall, or jeff grimes, or sherrone moore.
herman and sark and anyone else in that strata are going to be out of our risk/reward range.
kd is going to get popped. it is just a matter of when now. no g5 wonder boys. no old guys. no outlaws (although i generally think that is our best course at this horrible point), no recent flameouts, and no drama or rock stars.
get us back to stable. like mm kinda did, but hopefully we recruit at a higher base level than mm's cap. then, once we have a functioning program and org again, swing big if said new coach isn't able to get to the next level. mm won 10 ****ing games and had us in the champ game and could not capitalize. he put guys into the nfl (that he developed) that are good. but, that was peak mm.
i'd rather have a strong consistent foundation of making bowl games every year and then using that as a launch pad to try to get back to where we were, than throw 50mm or whatever at tom herman. plus, CU simply won't do that.

Faster than the agreement on how bad the mystery head coach candidate was once revealed you think?
I am trying to remember if there was 1 positive post about KD during that time. Too lazy to actually look it up…
Just give me someone who will recruit his dick off for 7 days a week. Or at least someone who will hire guys that will. Nothing changes until we have a roster that's better than a FCS playoff team.
We'll fit right into the B1G!
We're only TIED for last place there. See? Improvement!
But Iowa is 3-1, not 0-4 because they have a defense. They will find out how good that defense when they play Michigan this weekend.
Smith has been our most effective RB and put up the best stats on Saturday despite his "injury". If I was him and I was good to go, I'd have been pissed and be very slow to forgive the coaches for starting a freshman walk-on over me. We've had a thousand problems and Smith's play hasn't been one of them.
I was looking forward to him getting some run. Instead Karl is running him out of town despite a razor thin depth chart. Buffoon.
This is 10000% Karl setting the stage for a youth excuse at the end of the season. Again.
Hagan sucks. Guy needs to transition into LC’s current role and LC needs to kick rocks
He used to be a great recruiter and an adequate coach. He has become a mediocre recruiter and a bad coach.
Management matters: he's responding to what his boss wants and values.
Get another boss in there that demands excellence in recruiting and coaching and I'd bet heavily on him delivering.
It's not so much his recruiting that I'm down on, but rather how he manages his position group. Routinely finding ways to put less talented players on the field because the more talented options either have an attitude problem or can't pass block as well (or something like that). Managing personalities is part of the job as is teaching how to pass block. It almost feels like he is always out to prove a point and starting Charlie Offerdahl last week only strengthens my belief in that.
