But he's PRIME, and he's GREAT!! And our guy is NOT PRIME!!!!! The fawning over this guy as the second coming of Bear Bryant is hilarious.
OT: Primetime Purge In Colorado
- Thread starter Morrischiano2
- Start date
CU has already sold out 2023 season tix. Fans don’t expect a winner this season, just a far more competitive team than 1-11. They will get that.
CU should see some big improvements in 2024.
I made no comment regarding attendance. Do you not think that the OL group is awfully thin? Or do you think that if the injury bug hits and he has to start 2 3 three-star freshmen against USC it wouldn't be a problem?
Yes they are thin in 2023 and will get blown out by the better conference teams. But CU fans know that this is not a one season rebuild and they will continue to support the team imo.
Most RU fans would trade places with CU fans at this point, notwithstanding Conference affiliations. That’s my opinion.
I don’t know. Only thing I remember reading were no WRs from last year left on the team and one other position group I think was emptied out completely.
WR are easier to replace than linemen. Besides, the WR from last year's team couldn't crack the 2-deep at most power 5 schools.
Also the ones he's getting in the portal are from Jackson St., two from Kent St. and one from Missouri St. . Going to be really tough to hit at 100% rate with that collection.
Prime could borrow Schiano's LOS Flux-Capacitor where the "D"s in DL transition to "O"s
Was that a year after 2-10 or a year after their 8-year rebuild? Asking for a friend
Everywhere = Jackson state.
Deon is already losing players who portaled in. Jackson state guys and others are portaling out.
Deon is also trying to get some players who portaled to come back.
Everywhere = MLB, NFL, NCAA, JSU, etc
Guy is a winner - like I said, like him or not I would not bet against him
One stop as a coach.
Did any of YOUR examples clean house and get rid of 80%+ of the players?
He was a winner and now is doing the opposite.
He’s inheriting a 1-11 team
If he’s not cleaning house, there’d be an issue
Nobody knows if he’ll be a winner at CU
however, going by his track record and success at multiple points of his life, I am confident that he will have success there
Obviously, I could be dead wrong on this. Nobody will know until the final product is finished a few years from now.
I’m going based on his past successes, and from what I know of him, he has an intense desire to win that rivals only Jordan and Kobe
Coaches don't usually inherit national champions.
His track record as coach is D1AA Jackson state.
"Nobody knows" but you think you know based on his track record. You then admit you could be wrong. You are all over the place.
The is not about cleaning house. The problem is the circus. Players that came in from Jackson state are already leaving. P5 transfers in from Michigan are leaving. Colorado players who left are now being recruited to come back. Deion is a clown.
It’s a message board talking about sports, not a nuclear summit or a conference on curing cancer
Part of said board has people giving opinions about sports, which is what I’m doing
Deion is doing what most coaches do, but in typical Deion fashion, going balls to the wall (amount of transfers in / out) and making it a public spectacle
When I said Dion’s track record, I was referring to everything he has done in life.
Growing up in poverty in North Fort Myers, to excelling at Florida State, in three sports, to playing two professional sports, to his endorsement career, his prime persona, and now into his coaching ventures.
A lot of people think Deion is a clown. That’s fine.
I’ve met him multiple times and he’s extremely well spoken and very intelligent.
He created the whole prime persona from his dorm room at FSU, nothing was given to him. He did it all by himself, and backed it up with his play
Although I don’t agree with a lot of his methods, I look at his track record. And every single step along the way, hes had success. That is undeniable.
That does not mean he will have success here, but once again, based on his past track record, bud drive, ego, and competitive nature I’ve only seen rivaled in Jordan & Kobe, I would not bet against the man
If he succeeds at CU will you accept Deion as HC of FSU if there is an opening?
I don’t think he’d ever be considered there for a few reasons, but after the Hunter debacle, it’s now pretty much DOA
Jackson St failed to tie in Championship OT because a Jackson St player dropped an easy ball from Sander's son in end zone. The player was crushed but Sanders made it a point to console the kid.
Sanders is tough but not heartless as media can say after portal stuff.

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
There should be an app called Monday Morning QB that punches fans in the mouth when wrong. I will contact my programmers.Fans (Monday morning QB) never have to worry about that.
It should match punch strength to the aggressiveness and overconfidence within incorrect predictions and analysis.
Cool
That’s what makes message boards and sports fun
Differing opinions on non life & death issues regarding things were passionate about
FWIW, I wish Greg had some Deion in him. The whole “we’re building, we’re young, thus guy has potential, he’s improved”! Etc responses are getting old
Say what you want about Deion, but he’s not afraid to be bold. Take chances, get scrutinized
At this point of his life, he could easily ride into the sunset. Do some cameos. Be an ambassador. Make commercials
Yet he’s in his mid 50s putting his hard earned reputation on the line. Gong out on a limb, doing things his way. Regardless of anyone’s opinion or thoughts
I commend a guy like that. But again, knowing Prme, it’s not surprising.
For someone who has openly said “if your dreams, not bigger than you, there’s something wrong with your dream” he’s still living it to this day.
Deion lands transfers from Florida State and Auburn, both high school teammates from the Fort Myers FL area, Deion’s home town.
Florida State and Auburn signees from the same high school, same year. Impressive.

Weaker have you looked at their 2023 scheduled compared to our. Take a look and then tell me who has the weaker schedule. According to some on here PT can’t coach. If they win more games then us in the next 2 years, I don’t want to hear they play in a weaker conference. Recruits aren’t trying to hear about a rebuild, they want to win now. PT will recruit more 4 and 5 stars within a year then GS has recruited in his whole career
You are right about Colorado having a pretty tough schedule in 2023, but has anyone actually said he can't coach or have they said that his previous coaching experience hasn't proven he can be a winner at a D1 Level? Unless you think that this is sandlot football and you can be successful by just getting rid of every scholarship player and throw together a brand new bunch of guys from May-August leading into a new season, who have not played together....the Buffaloes might go winless in 2023. That kind of contradicts your narrative on recruits wanting to win now. He may very well be able to recruit 4 and 5 star players - but PT is essentially rebuilding from ground zero.
I'm not a fan of Dion and have my doubts. I'll take a wait and see approach with this one though.
Anybody comparing Colorado's burn it down and rise from the ashes approach to competing in a crumbling conference and building a competitive team in the B1G needs to get a grip.
There is no shortcut up the mountain that is the Big Ten. There are also many rock slides and avalanches on the way. Dues to be paid. Patience folks

Their conference may be weaker, but they don’t play the joke of an OOC schedule that we play.
I would feel a lot better about Greg if he wore a cowboy hat . . .
He has several quality WRs coming in and Travis Hunter is going to play both ways.
Also read in an Athletic article that Dillingham at ASU has 50 new scholarship players.
Shoot our coach isn’t a winner at the D1 level. If PT beat 2 ranked team in 2023 he would have accomplished a feat that our coach hasn’t done in his entire career. PT does r have a 3 year rebuild program he has a win now mentality. But I will give you this we will know soon enough if he can coach on the D1 level
