Dorrell Dismissed As Head Football Coach at Colorado

BOULDER — University of Colorado Athletic Director Rick George announced Sunday that the school will be parting ways with Head Coach Karl Dorrell after nearly two-and-a-half seasons.

Under Dorrell, the Buffaloes were 8-15 in two-plus seasons at the school (6-9 record in Pac-12 Conference play), but after a 4-0 start in the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season, CU has lost 15 of its last 19 games, including a 43-20 setback at Arizona on Saturday night. The loss dropped CU to 0-5 on the season, only the fourth time the Buffs have dropped the first five games in any single year.
