Colorado fired head football coach Karl Dorrell and defensive coordinator Chris Wilson on Sunday, one day after a 43-20 road loss to Arizona. The Buffs started the season winless at 0-5, and are in the midst of one of the worst periods in school history.
Dorrell was hired in 2020 after the departure of Mel Tucker to Michigan State. He rattled off four straight wins to open the COVID-shortened season, but ended with a 4-2 record after a 55-23 Cotton Bowl loss to Texas. The 2020 Pac-12 Coach of the Year went 4-13 over the past seasons and lost the last six games by an average of 27 points.
