Karl Dorrell, the former UCLA player and head coach who delivered a surprisingly good 2020 season at Colorado, lost hold of the CU program in 2021 and 2022. After another lopsided loss this past Saturday against Arizona, the school fired Dorrell.
Our friends at Buffaloes Wire have the story:
“Following an 0-5 start to the season,” Buffaloes Wire wrote, “the Colorado Buffaloes football program has dismissed head coach Karl Dorrell, according to a report by ESPN’s Pete Thamel on Sunday afternoon.
“Dorrell was in the midst of his third season at the helm and his tenure now ends with a disappointing 8-15 overall record. The 58-year-old had also led Colorado to the 2020 Alamo Bowl in his first season.
“Dorrell will be owed about an $8.7 million buyout. It’s currently unclear who the interim head coach will be.”
