OT: Old friend Karl Dorrell reportedly fired at Colorado

Post by AuricGoldfinger »

They have been the worst P5 team this season, and this was inevitable. It was always a strange hire, even for the notoriously frugal Colorado administration.

That guy is the worse. Whoever fell for his BS at Colorado during the interviews should also be fired.

Of their five losses, the closest was by 23 points. With no FCS game on their schedule and four of their final seven against ranked opponents, they have an excellent chance of going 0-12.

The guy who hired him and fired him is also our old friend, AD Rick George, who was the assistant AD back in the Dinardo and Dowhower eras.

Dorrell followed Mike MacIntyre, another guy with Vandy ties. The AD is former Vandy assistant AD Rick George. George served with Gerry Dinardo, who was an assistant at Colorado before coming to Vandy.

So, just for fun, what coach with Vandy ties do you think Colorado should hire next?
