CU Buffs’ worst start in 132 years has people wondering about Karl Dorrell’s buyout
Going into this season, we knew that Colorado’s nonconference slate was tough with TCU, Air Force and Minnesota. An 0-3 start was likely, but the Buffs not even being competitive was less probable. The Buffs are indeed 0-3 and have been outscored 128-30, numbers not seen to start a season in 132 years.
The optimism around Karl Dorrell’s third season has quickly wavered and many fans are calling for his dismissal. But how much would that cost the Buffs? Pac-12 columnist John Canzano sped up the conversation with the tweet below, which was revised by BuffZone’s Brian Howell.
It looks like if the Buffs were to buy out Dorrell tomorrow, he would be owed about $8.7 million.
It's not really that much. It's $11.4M minus what he's already been paid this contract year and he's 3/4 of the way through it. So, the buyout is basically $7.8M plus the remainder of this year (about $900K) – so about $8.7M. https://t.co/Q1zsJCVPZC
