Power 5 coach put on hot seat as fans call for him to be fired following another disappointing loss
By Ethan Stone
Published:
Colorado is 0-4 on the season.
No matter how you chalk in up, that’s rough. The Buffs have lost to TCU, Air Force, Minnesota and now, after a 45-17 bludgeoning, UCLA. Colorado was outscored 173-47 through 4 games. They have yet to keep an opponent under 35 points this season.
Dorrell, a former UCLA head coach, was fired by the Bruins after struggling. Colorado welcomed him in 2020 after a stint in the NFL with the Jets, Texans and Dolphins.
Buffs fans have seen enough. They called for head coach Karl Dorrell to be fired postgame on social media.
R we on Karl Dorrell fire watch?

Karl Dorrell trying to sound positive about a 0-4 start. All losses over 20 points. Spinning that dismal performance every week has got to be a challenge.

They hired Karl Dorrell — that’s one that didn’t make sense from day one

Don’t have any sources confirming as much, and don’t have any sources period, but I’m guessing Colorado coach Karl Dorrell will be fired tomorrow. #GoCougs

The Karl Dorrell hire was always a head scratcher but holy cow this Colorado program is deader than disco.

It still blows my mind that a school saw Karl Dorrell’s entire tenure at UCLA and said “Yeah, let’s back up the Brinks truck to his house!”

A team that is coach by Karl Dorrell is punting the ball on 4th and 1 and is also down 21-3 is very on brand.

Karl Dorrell legitimately might be the worst hire in college football history
