Darrin Chiaverini was their interim in 2019 when they canned McIntyre and instead of retaining a guy who went to played there they went with Karl Dorrell who’s coached one year in college sandwiched in the middle of the 14 years since his firing from UCLA. I get it the alum coaching doesn’t work out most of the time, but at least you would have had someone who cared about the program instead of just cashing a paycheck. They made up for it by firing Chiaverini last season after the offense performed so poorly all season only to perform worse this season and likely an encounter with Owen. IMO, they deserve what they’re dealing with.
You can’t make a lower ceiling hire than Karl Dorrell. Colorado deserves this for hiring a NFL position coach.

They essentially hired John Donovan as a head coach
just a reminder that UW still hasn't won a Rose Bowl since Rick
Let the hatters hat but still waiting for the improvement that firing him was to bring
Not everyone can get 8-4 Purdue
This is such a weird criticism in a year where Rick hung the only single L on Miami, not to mention a ranked Oregon State!
Yeah that Rose Bowl wasn't the best competition but they were not only the RB rep from the B1G they were also the highest ranked B1G team so it's not like we ducked somebody on a fluke. Just wasn't a great Big 10 year.
But seriously, there was one undefeated champ that year (OU) and four teams that finished with 1 loss. Those four teams:
1. Washington 2-3. Teams Washington beat (Miami, Oregon State) 4. Team beaten by team Washington beat (Virginia Tech)
Had Michigan or Ohio State been in that RB they would have gotten rolled by UW.

I’ll never forget the OSU fans claiming they were the best team in the pac 10. I had to remind them often that the best team in the pac 10 would need to beat the pac 10 champion. They forget that detail.

They should both throw bags at Paul Chryst.
