The college football coaching carousel is getting going. After Week 3, there are already job openings at Nebraska and Arizona State. There is some speculation that Colorado may soon join that list of vacancies.

The Buffaloes lost 49-7 at Minnesota on Saturday. In his third season, Karl Dorrell now has an 8-13 record as Colorado’s head coach. On Sunday, Colorado AD Rick George released a statement expressing confidence in Dorrell and his staff to turn things around:

Dear Buffalo Supporters:

Like all of you, I have been disappointed to watch our football team struggle this fall, most recently yesterday at Minnesota. I know that our coaches and our student-athletes are capable of so much more and that all of you deserve better results.

I want you to know that I hear you. I recognize and understand your disappointment and frustration and perhaps, even anger. We have not come close to meeting our expectations this season and we own that. I know that Coach Dorrell, our coaching and support staff, and our student-athletes are working hard to get us on track, and with conference play starting this Saturday, we hope we all will enjoy a home victory over UCLA.

Regardless of your feelings right now on Colorado Football, I encourage you to continue to support our tremendous football student-athletes, who need your cheers, encouragement and support now, more than ever.

Go Buffs!

Time will tell if it’s the “dreaded” vote of confidence. The Buffs are 0-3 heading into their Week 4 home game against UCLA.
