Coach Dorrell retains four assistant coaches from Mel Tucker's staff. Thoughts?
  • Excellent news! Chiaverini, Hagan, Michalowski and Summers will provide stability and continuity ... and help keep recruiting momentum (60%, 291 Votes)
  • Good news, but there are still six spots to be filled. The 2020 season - and beyond, for that matter - will be dependent upon the coaches Dorrell can bring in at this late date. Fingers crossed. (29%, 143 Votes)
  • Glad we kept the four we kept, but disappointed that we lost our two line coaches - Kapilovic and Brumbaugh - to higher paying jobs. Hard to celebrate when CU is still coaches' second choice (11%, 51 Votes)

ESPN gives Colorado a "C-" grade for the hiring of Karl Dorrell. Thoughts?
  • I'm going to ignore national pundits this spring (we know what they are going to say), and wait to see what Dorrell & Co. can produce this fall (71%, 353 Votes)
  • If we're being objective, it's hard to argue with "(Dorrell) isn’t a dynamic personality and will need very smart staff hires (to be successful)" (19%, 96 Votes)
  • Ridiculous. ESPN notes that no one has done as well at UCLA since Dorrell left, but still concludes, "It's hard to get excited (about Karl Dorrell)" (10%, 48 Votes)

What are your thoughts on retaining Darrin Chiaverini at CU?
  • Vital. One of the top recruiters in the country, and he bleeds black and gold. His retention is critical to continuity ... and keeping the roster from disintegrating (68%, 419 Votes)
  • Important. Assistant head coach? Sure. Recruiting coordinator? Of course. Wide receivers coach? Naturally. Offensive coordinator? Maybe ... (22%, 137 Votes)
  • Not life and death. Head coach Dorrell says he is going to hire the best coaches. If Dorrell (or Chiaverini) wants to go a different direction, the sun will come up tomorrow, and CU will be fine (10%, 60 Votes)

Which quote from Karl Dorrell's introductory press conference do you like best?
  • "We're not going to use any excuses (for poor results). We're not going to use, 'Because I got hired this late in the process and spring ball is around the corner'. We're going to get it done" (41%, 163 Votes)
  • "I think we're going to continue with the path that we have right now ... We're going to get back to recruiting the best players" (37%, 147 Votes)
  • "I'm here for the long haul. That's what I want you to know. This is my dream job ... I'm happy to be back home" (22%, 92 Votes)

What Karl Dorrell factoid gives you the most confidence going forward?
  • That Dorrell, while competing against Pete Carroll's national title USC teams for prospects, consistently posted Recruiting Classes higher than Mel Tucker's 35th-ranked CU Class of 2020 (60%, 327 Votes)
  • That Dorrell's UCLA teams went to five straight bowl games - and no Bruin coach has been able to match that mark since (36%, 197 Votes)
  • That Dorrell coached the first, second and third players in CU history to post 1,000-yard receiving seasons (4%, 20 Votes)

  1. The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
