Following Saturday’s 43–20 loss to Arizona that saw Colorado fall to 0–5 on the season, the school has reportedly fired head coach Karl Dorrell, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Defensive coordinator Chris Wilson has also been fired.
Buffaloes offensive coordinator Mike Sanford will serve as interim head coach, per ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg.
Colorado is one of two winless FBS teams through the season’s first five weeks. The Buffaloes have allowed an average of 43.2 points per game while scoring just 13.4 per game on offense. Colorado’s 23-point defeat against the Wildcats on Saturday was their smallest margin of defeat for the year.
