Can we all just take a minute to laugh at Colorado?

Awful hire!

Desperate times call for desperate hiring.

They're paying Karl Dorell half a mil a year more than Oregon is paying Cristobal.

It's like that because Cristobal got hired as an assistant before he started cranking Oregon's recruiting up.

Meanwhile, Dorrell got hired very late in a hiring cycle to a job that's not super attractive. So, Dorrell got overpaid because of the situation, while Cristobal has overperformed.

But when your corch basically buttfricks you and leaves a week after signing day, you aren’t left with terrific options.

Wasn't Bieniemy a candidate? He's a slam dunk hire.

Oregon should have hired some young hot shot coordinator or position coach.

I’d rather be the OC of the SuperBowl champ than the HC of the Colorado buffalos

Someone’s clearly never been to Boulder^

No I'd rather have the better job. one more year as the OC there and he's got an NFL HC gig in 2021.
He's also a 50 year old man with 2 kids, not a college kid.

Yeah, there was a big push for him to be a head coach this year. Unless they are in the Super Bowl again, I think he gets an NFL coaching job next year. No need to go to Colorado now.

As for the hire, the timing was terrible, but you think they could have found somebody else. Skip Holts, Chip Long, Charlie Strong, Major Applewhite, Jay Gruden, Kendal Briles, Marvin Lewis, David Yost?

Nah, it’s hard to find someone who cares enough about CU football to have a discussion

Bret Bielema wouldn't have been a bad hire.

This is great evidence that we'd have been laughing at Colorado's hire almost regardless of who it was.

Bienemy was only really floated because he was an alum, but when he turned them down, there weren't a lot of attractive candidates. Dorrell's tenure at UCLA wasn't great, but it wasn't a disaster.
