Colorado has fired coach Karl Dorrell after an incredibly poor start to the 2022 season.
, Colorado decided to make a coaching change after dropping to 0-5 with a 43-20 loss to Arizona on Saturday night. Dorrell was in the midst of his third season as the Buffaloes' coach and it wasn't much of a stretch to say that Colorado was the worst Power Five team in college football. The Buffaloes have struggled on both sides of the ball in 2022 and the offense has been especially poor.
With non-conference games against TCU, Air Force and Minnesota, Colorado had perhaps the toughest non-con schedule of any Power Five team. And while the Buffs were underdogs in all three games, they didn’t even keep one close. Each of the three teams scored 38 points or more against Colorado and the closest game was a 25-point Week 1 loss to the Horned Frogs.
Dorrell’s Colorado tenure ends with a career record of 8-15. The Buffaloes went 4-2 in the COVID-shortened 2020 season but dropped to 4-8 in 2021 before the struggles of 2022.
