Breaking News: Karl Dorrell relieved of his duties as head coach

After a dismal 0-5 start to the season, the University of Colorado football program has dismissed head coach Karl Dorrell, according to a statement by athletic director Rick George.

After only two-and-a-half seasons as the Buffaloes’ head man, Dorrell will end his tenure after only 23 games. Despite a promising first season ending with an experience in the Alamo Bowl, the Buffs have failed to gain positive consistency in the past two seasons and finished 8-15 during Dorrell’s tenure.

In 2020, Dorrell signed a five-year, $18 million contract that would have taken him through the 2024 season.
