The Karl Dorrell hire has generated more shrugs than sizzle with many Colorado fans and in the media, and it’s difficult to envision an instant bump in CU season-ticket sales. And the Hotline’s reaction, frankly, is essentially the same. Dorrell, a Miami Dolphins assistant, wouldn’t have been on our list of 20 potential candidates to replace Mel Tucker. (And if you had suggested his name for the 21st spot, we would have assumed it was in jest.) Dorrell was an undistinguished head coach in his only previous tenure, which ended during the second Bush presidency. He spent most of the past 13 years in the NFL, never mentioned as a candidate for head coaching jobs at the pro or college level … not a hot name or a warm name or even a room-temperature name. Karl Dorrell is the best Colorado could do? But with a deeper dig, with a longer look, the other camp — the camp in which Dorrell makes some sense — is faintly visible on the horizon. Examining that camp, here’s what we see … *** Dorrell was hired by UCLA, his alma mater, on his 39th birthday. He wasn’t ready to be a head coach, at least a high-level head coach. That was evident in the moment — Dorrell as UCLA’s counter to Pete Carroll?
