BOULDER — Technically, Colorado's Karl Dorrell will soon be entering his second year as the Buffaloes' head coach.
But in reality, Dorrell is finally approaching what will hopefully be his first "normal" year at the Buffs' helm.
We know all too well what Dorrell's initial season in Boulder entailed. Hired incredibly late in the cycle, he walked into an unprecedented situation that became only more bizarre and unpredictable as the Covid-19 pandemic unfolded.
Simply keeping the program from tumbling off a cliff would have been a success.
But as we also know, Dorrell did far more than that.
