i think it is way better to brand him a lame duck without saying it quite yet. the recruits we may land will be coming for CU not for dorrell and those in the program we manage to keep will be staying for CU and their teammates, not kd.
this is the first step; kd is headed out and rg wants to save his own neck. this will take a while like all things CU but we are in the process.
this is not herm at america's stripper U-- he had zero runway because of all the misconduct. it isn't the same as here.
the fusker firing is maybe more relevant. they literally spent an extra 7.5mm dollars to not wait until october 1. that tells you they are still serious about trying to win.
keep the heat on- it is working.
RG needs to hear that folks are coming for his job in order for him to move. He is such a douche nozzle. Both Dorrell and RG need to be fired asap. The problem with firing RG, it would delay the hiring of a qualified Head Coach and we would be stuck with the garbage that's already on staff.
He specifically mentions the UCLA game and not just general “conference play” or “coming games”. It’s probably completely unrealistic but I’m hopeful that line indicates some sort of ultimatum.
He was told to give a vote of confidence. He knows that the vote of confidence will not change the inevitable and that he doesn't want his name stained with sounding like he thought KD could actually fix anything.
Note that he says the staff, players, etc. are "working hard" to do better. He nowhere says that he expects anything to actually get better.
Meanwhile he is trying to give ticketholders some actual hope to come to the game instead of burning their tickets.

P.S. Keep giving us your money.
Yeah, sounds like donors might be turning up the heat. Good for them, if so.

That's exactly how I read it.
I disagree.
That's very different than what I (and many others) have been saying since week 2 of last season.
I know that our head coach is garbage. He is incapable of leadership. His players don't respect him.
Our DC is completely and totally over his head.
We've EXACTLY met our expectations.

The only positive I take away from this statement is the acknowledgement that CU has a football team.
The reality is CU doesn't have the money to part with KD now, and we're never going to improve until the administration wants football to be good and donors start giving to NIL for recruiting. Unfortunately, donors are burned-out and we know how the administration acts and will continue to act. Pinkie finger in the air sipping on wine or smoking their self congratulating ego joint.
Is it basketball season yet?

Kind of think Brian and Adam might be right-I expect Dorrell is out after Arizona if the next two games look like the last three. I fully expect them to.
If we get an in season coaching change, I'll get back up there for a game or two. I want to be feel like I can support these kids. I haven't been to a game at Folsom, and I miss it. Until Dorrell goes, I feel like its a waste of time and money.

Disagree. No endorsement. No ask for patience. No vote of confidence. Mentions one game, not the season.
it’s an appropriate response for this stage. Feels pressure. Hears fans.
Says more by what it does not say that what it does say.
If UCLA wins convincingly, I think KD is gone
Seems like more of a shart.
It’s gonna be amazing when it turns out that we got the buyout money by having the athletic department put a couple mil on UCLA covering.
Wait we have those?
The bold vision we have been wanting to see!
Is it naughty of me to be rooting for UCLA to clobber CU Saturday?
1.1 million on TCU, USAFA, and Minnesota to cover rolled over to UCLA covering gets us all of Dorrell’s buyout!
I believe the P12 loan was actually around $18MM, so we’re probably looking at a Kirby/Saban/Ryan Day type candidate pool after these big hits
Oh. I mean, then you’d need to let the team get beaten badly in more games to get to the $28 million we’ll need to fire everyone and get back to revenue neutrality.
I’m not too worried about that. We should be able to make that happen lol
Yupppp
Hell, it won’t even look fishy.
He double spaces after periods. Even my 35 year old ass quit doing that.
does anyone else remember an article a few years ago about how LC and RG met with KD and they both decided that they knew he was the guy to hire right away?
It’s hard to feel a lot of confidence right now in the AD. The statement tonight is at least something but our problem isn’t just the coaching staff.
Hey Muther ****er, I started the club
