Colorado AD Rick George: ‘This place can be and will be a football powerhouse’

A few hours after the firing of Karl Dorrell became official, Colorado athletic director Rick George, university chancellor Phil DiStefano and interim head coach Mike Sanford met with the media on Sunday evening.

All three shared their respect for Dorrell while showing some excitement for a fresh start.

The one quote that stood out to me the most came from George, who remains confident that the Buffs can return to national excellence (h/t Jake Schwanitz of DNVR): “This place can be and will be a football powerhouse.”

It’s going to take several more massive changes for that to come true, but most would agree that Sunday’s moves were a positive step for the program.
