The funny thing is most other sports are in decent shape. Football is the only train wreck and holy **** it’s bad.
I personally cant wait for the last 4 games of the season. I want to see absolute scorched earth, salted field, biblically epic thrashing at the hands of the last teams as they vie for postseason positions
FIFY
I am accumulating Moses like savings to fade Colorado in those games.
I would love for CU to be merely embarrassing. We should strive for embarrassing. Embarrassing would be refreshing.
Take every cent in your portfolio and 10x leverage on USC -70
You will be able to afford a gilded litter and a royal procession to carry you and wait on your every need in perpetuity

Once again, Jizz Rag 85 is the voice of reason.
I thought the choice not to hire a guy named Karl Dorrell would’ve been pretty easy but boy was I wrong on that one
I walked for a sixer of Voodoo. Gas station prices.
The fridge beers didn't produce the necessary numbness or blackout.

Have to look at how much it cost to keep him.
As I detailed before it cost very little more to fire him now than it does to fire him at the end of the season. He gets his money either way, The rest of the season you are paying an assistant who is already on the staff to be the interim coach. Only cost is upgrading someone to fill the assistants position.
Keep him and you continue to degrade the brand. Season ticket holders don't come to the stadium and many decide not to renew. Advertisers see an empty stadium and decide not to renew their sponsorships. Donors to both athletics and non-athletic areas express their frustration by not donating.
To fix things we need much more than just a new coach, the administration above RG needs to fix some things as well.
Until we get to the off-season with a new Chancellor, new coach, and some other substantial changes keeping KD on the sidelines to continue to watch over a team that has quit on him and each other is costing much more than it would cost to fire him.
I prefer the harder stuff like a speedball of Ketamine and a baseball bat to the dome. Almost makes the games palatable
But it doesn’t make any bit of financial difference, so I don’t see why they should wait
I think that if Colorado has a horrible season, I think there’s a strong chance that they can negotiate a much more favorable settlement amount than if they fire in-season.
Fair. How much longer does Dorrell want to keep getting personally embarrassed, though?
This is exactly the reason I’m so hyped for our final stretch of games. 0 chances for moral victories. 100% chance of pain and AD leverage (if RG even understands that concept)
Give me 50-70 points per team each of those 4 games and we’ll be cooking
Wait...do we have another shot at the food cart?
If they fire him in-season, I think it gets acrimonious and he goes for all of what he is due. Nobody will touch him for an HC or OC job, so NFL position coach salary will not offset the buyout by a significant amount. If they let him go after the season, they can say that they gave him a full season with his staff and his players. Just wasn’t good enough. Need to win now.
As long as he's getting paid?
Whatever. Makes no real difference to me I guess. Saturdays have freed up quite a bit, regardless
He’s already made like $12m over the last 3 years. At some point, your lasting legacy being the guy who coached CU into incompetence might not be worth sticking it out for a few million extra, especially when you are going to reside in Boulder the rest of your life
What incentive does KD have to negotiate? Genuinely asking, because as I see it the contract is so ****ty for everyone but him, he gets paid regardless.
Not completely on topic, but I kind of wish CU would play a bad D2 school next week so I can bet big money against them when the spread is like CU -20.

Does anybody know how the buyout is paid out? Is it all at once a la Sumlin at I think A&M or does he keep collecting checks like MacIntyre did?
