The Colorado Buffaloes are another Power Five Program to fire their head coach in the middle of the season, and it came on the same day that Wisconsin fired Paul Chryst.
Karl Dorrell’s run with the Buffs is over after a disappointing 0-5 start to the season and a wild quarterback cycle that ended with freshman Owen McCown becoming the starter over Brendon Lewis and JT Shrout.
So, where does Colorado go from here?
CBS Sports college football insider Dennis Dodd gave his list of potential coaching candidates for the Buffs, and there are sure some interesting names on his list.
Let’s look at Dodd’s choices with his reasoning for each:
BRONCO MENDENHALL

Bronco Mendenhall is a popular name on this coaching cycle, and here’s why:
This is just about the perfect fit. Mendenhall was 99-43 at BYU before an impressive 28-21 run at Virginia in his final five seasons. Mendenhall is about as real as it gets. After killing it at BYU and winning at least eight games twice at Virginia, he’d do well at a public university that is ready to spend money to be relevant again.

I mean, just look at what Air Force is doing this year.
