Colorado hires Former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell, FIFTEEN after his last college job, which in CFB years feels like FIFTY.
Dorrell's hire is like a Big Ten school hiring Ron Zook. Both kept recruiting at a decent level, returned ho-hum results, everybody remembers their one resoundingly successful season (Dorrell: 10-2 Sun Bowl winners in 2005, Zook: Rose Bowl 2007), and lots of mid-level NFL experience since then.
Timewise, Dorrell's hire is like a political candidate or a business using MySpace for their social media platforming.
Two thoughts:
With the hire of Herm Edwards trending well enough, I wonder if this is Colorado's way of trying Arizona State's CEO approach.
With Karl Dorrell known for his popularity among his players, I wonder if this is Colorado's way of trying to put at ease the great signing class Mel Tucker left behind in Boulder.
