When does CU Football get a new coach?
- Thread starter absinthe
- Start date
This is CU. We will choose the worst option. Next year. And by next year, I mean after the first signing day

No way RG pulls the plug regardless of how bad this gets outside of Kardboard Karl committing a crime....his criminal piss poor management of anything he's responsible for not withstanding.
RG doesn't want to deal with the search process, which is why we ended up with the current loser, and is also why we are stuck with this loser's multiyear deal - because RG just doesn't want to be bothered with it....and it shows.
If either of these two losers had any level of self awareness they would both resign in disgrace, but neither's egos can allow for that. In this respect they are truly made for each other.

I was told RG was our prince coming to save us from Mike Bohn.
Wether RG knows anything or not it doesnt really matter anymore. If he gets someone bad to mediocre, which most ADs Nationwide experience (filling HC positions is hard), no one will give a **** or it will be a learn on our dime scenario. If however he gets someone great, rabbit out of the hat hire, SEC or B1G will hire him just like Mel Tucker after just two great recruiting cycles. Why? Because we no longer have the money to keep someone great.
With a fully guaranteed contract, it doesn’t matter when they fire him. He will receive the full amount regardless
Dorrell continuing to trot out Lewis is nothing more than him sticking it to players, fans and media.
I guessed 0-10 or 0-11 Karl is fired in the weeks leading up to Utah.
They’ll probably want to compensate with a head start after such a short search w/ Mel last time. Contract is guaranteed so doesn’t matter if before Utah or Jan 1. Gives them a chance to evaluate assistants. Gives them the full season to find the money
That’s what my heart says. My head says after next year when we get the opportunity to lose to 2 rivals at home

We’ll probably win between 3 to 4 games. I don’t know who or how, but that will give Dorrell until 2023. We don’t go 5-7 or 6-6 in 2023, then RG will pull the plug. Still feel that 2022 is being treated as Dorrell’s “first year” by RG. Just a feeling.
If we see TCU part II, III, IV, etc. as the season progresses, losing by 3+ scores, he’s done the week after Utah.

This, at the earliest
What is Dorrell’s incentive to reduce his buyout after the season?
I didn't vote because I can't predict what incompetents will do.
If CU loses the home game to Cal to go 0-6, that is where I think most reasonable people would pull the trigger. Nightmare, mind-boggling scenario is them canning the coach January 1. So that is probably what they will do.
Question I have - from what I have read, it sounds like the contract is fully guaranteed - so timing shouldn't really affect the cost. In other words, firing him on December 31 shouldn't cost significantly more than firing him on January 1.

Potentially a bigger lump sum up front and he can straight up retire without having to worry about offset provisions.
Do the math. He could straight up retire either way. He was well on that plan when he woke up in a fantasy with Rick George on the phone telling him the lottery ticket was gold. We should have a thread of GIFs of Karl’s reaction to that call out of the blue.
I doubt Dorrell retires. I’m sure he’ll take some NFL WR job
I like your optimism
What NFL team would want him as a WR coach? I could see a custodian maybe.
Im here for the dark comedic realism
There is some good material for a screenplay here:
“Coach to Janitor, the Karl Dorell Story”
Kinda like “Rudy” only the other way around
I suspect that the next couple of weeks will tell us a lot. KD’s handling of the QB situation this week alienates the media and fans too. Several more embarrassing losses will alienate more of us fans and the media even more. That may make it harder for RG to justify keeping the current staff.
I hate that we almost have to hope for the team to lose big the next few weeks. I don’t ever cheer against the Buffs but is that what it will take? I feel like the players deserve better than that. They play their hearts out and give their all to the team. Does anyone else struggle with this too?

Fire KD as HC
Promote Phil M to interim HC
See what happens

Modern athletes need to know that coach cares about them. I don’t get that vibe from HCKD. The fact that he didn’t have his hand on the pulse of his best players last year tells me he is too distant from his players
March would be better so you’d know which players to expect back in order to help with recruiting.
