I don’t think anyone has said they are on track for the playoff. Certainly not this season. And the transfer stuff is not popular, but he didn’t run off players that were winning games. I think most people would agree there is much more talent there this season than last season. It’s not popular, but he did what he needed to do. The criticism is more from coaches that would do the same thing if they could, but can’t. Not too many stud recruits dying to play for a 2-win team.
But this is what Deion does and why he got hired. Did you ever pay attention to Jackson State, or know the coach at Jackson State before he came? Somehow it seems like every Jackson State game is on TV. Heck, College Gameday was there last season.
Deion is the kind of personality College Football Media drools over. Deion knows what he’s doing. It’s all intentional. There is a great interview with him talking about Prime Time. Said all his college teammates had black books full of girls phone #’s. He looked at the top paid NFL players and noticed DBs were at the bottom. So he got a black book and started writing down these legendary quotes he’d say when he had the opportunity. To this day, most of the stuff we hear from him are things he’s made up years ago and waited for the time to say stuff. Gotta give the guy some credit…he’s an innovator.
