I was looking at his recruits. He must know how to recruit wr. He has like 6 coming in.

Not going through the whole thread, but he is (was) an FCS level coach (formerly Div 1-A),I'm watching this clown show unfold at Colorado and can't help but laugh. Deion Sanders is taking over a 1-11 program, casts aside the entire roster, and goes to the recruiting rankings to start handing out scholarship offers to every top player, committed or not, at every position.
While the guy never lacked confidence, he's walking into a Power 5 program and already burning bridges. He's instantly telling his own team that his son will be the starting QB and that there will be no competition. Not unlike a Ferentz nepotism situation where he hired Brian as OC without interviewing a single other candidate.
Granted, Deion's kid had success (passed for 3,400 yards this year against the likes of Alabama...A&M). But he did so at a much lower level against much lower competition. Regardless, is that the message you want to send to your own team? At least fake it that merit, hard work, and competition matter (i.e. like what Kirk told Padilla after last season).
I think back to just a few months ago. Deion was the self-proclaimed ambassador of historically black colleges. He was going to put them on the map as a major football power. He was convincing top recruits to forego big schools and attend his DII school, not for his own personal gain, but to make a difference for the black community and give them something to be proud of. Those kids took a chance on him, passed up going to Notre Dame or Stanford for the likes of Jackson State, and a year later he's abandoned them (or bringing the best ones with him to rebuild a 1-11 school). What's he going to sell kids considering Colorado? That he plans to stick around only until he can climb the ladder and end up at a big Florida school?
I hadn't realized they had won the pac 12 championship just 6 years ago. They fell hard.On the contrary, it's pretty easy to argue this is a fantastic opportunity. P5. Nowhere to go but up. You're not following a legend or continuing some long tradition of recent winning. That said, traditionally a proud program (was in Pac 12 championship only 6 years ago, national championship 1990). A great home field advantage (when the team is not truly terrible). The money will be there as needed. And a league that doesn't really value defense.
He'll need a few more teams to bolt for the B1G for that to happen.Bet he wins the PAC 12 in the first 3 years
I don’t think so, he can recruit better than anyone with the exception of Oregon and Nike.He'll need a few more teams to bolt for the B1G for that to happen.
suprised neon deon did'nt have much to say about the coach he's replacing..I don’t think so, he can recruit better than anyone with the exception of Oregon and Nike.
He lost 11 to the portal and has gained 13 so far. Noticed Fenske who use to be at Iowa, is in the portal. Portal haul is ranked #3I was looking at his recruits. He must know how to recruit wr. He has like 6 coming in.
Just the South Division. Lost in the title game.I hadn't realized they had won the pac 12 championship just 6 years ago. They fell hard.
He will do okay, but if they think he will be there for more than maybe 4 years they are kidding themselves.For what it's worth, I don't think he'll crash & burn at Colorado.
They possibly could be at least better right away next year.
Credit for him having the guts to start at the bottom.

I had the same thought about Colorado selling tickets. Then I saw this... Colorado's attendance was 30th in the country, 3rd in the PAC and better than 4 B1G schools. 94% full....even after 5 straight losing seasons. They haven't been winning but they are selling tickets.If this is true then he's likely done exactly what Colorado hired him to do, sell tickets by rejuvenating the football program.
Wow. I wonder if we would be the same?I had the same thought about Colorado selling tickets. Then I saw this...

Sounds like money laundering to me.I had the same thought about Colorado selling tickets. Then I saw this...

Maybe they're using the Nebraska angleSounds like money laundering to me.
Worry about it then. If Colorado is relevant again then it will be attractive to other coaches.for 4 years yeah. Then what when he departs?
Which do you think makes Colorado more money and donations, a winning football program or a losing one?I had the same thought about Colorado selling tickets. Then I saw this...

a lot of CU bandwagon fans jumping ship
???Not everyone is terrified at the prospect of finding a capable coaching staff.
I still do not get that hire or why anyone would hire him from here on out. Deion to me seems like the guy who is going to bolt as soon as his sons are both gone.

Which is still more than last year. I hate to judge a job on one year. They had some real close losses, but there were def some blunders. He shouldn't have pulled the play calling duties from their OC. And he NEEDS to stop publicly shaming his players when losing.The only thing Colorado has managed to do this season is beat an overrated TCU team early in the season. Everything else has gone pretty much as predicted. That didn't stop the media from linking Sanders to every possible high-profile coaching vacancy. Now that the shine is off the apple, where are all the cameras? Where is the Heisman hype for Shadeur or Travis Hunter?
The spotlight has certainly left Boulder. Deion won't be too far behind.
They’re soft and they have discipline problems. And if recruits keep bailing, things will not be getting better.Which is still more than last year. I hate to judge a job on one year.

The attitude starts from the top down, and the whole team looked soft AF in Pullman on a chilly night. WSU is NOT a good team right now, and they just got beat by 50.
I haven’t been following very closely. Who are the recruits bailing?They’re soft and they have discipline problems. And if recruits keep bailing, things will not be getting better.
There’s a five-star WR out of Florida that just decommitted.I haven’t been following very closely. Who are the recruits bailing?
