I think he'll do very well, then leave for a better job after 3 years

It is a stepping stone. He has to prove he can improve a team that plays D 1 ball. He won’t be as successful as Bill M, but he doesn’t need to be. He will win 8-9 games a few times and move on up.

I could see him winning 8-9 wins a year once he gets rolling. His personality and fame will get kids there
ESPN showing their spring game helped too. It didn't make sense to me. I guess they want them to do well. ESPN didn't televise any other spring games. Not even the defending two in a row champs. ESPN2 showed Georgia's game last week.

So if anything he said the opposite of what you presumed


What would you presume if you run 1s vs 3s in spring? This is when hype is built

He will probably sell the shite out of himself, maybe even get a tv or merchandise deal out of it. Very successful

And the team might even win a game or two

Not to mention he got his mediocre son a slot on national television every week. That’s a win in itself even if shadeur goes 50% and 1:1 td:int

I think he would produce solid teams on talent alone and will lose 2 regular seasons a year due to bad coaching.

I hope so. Nothing better than a Pac-12 after Dark game that has meaning.

He acts like he's Nick Saban and everything around him must be 5 star. I hope he fails.

At JSU, he seemed to care only about getting skill position guys. His O-line and D-lines were pretty trash. It still got him SWAC titles because that conference was trash, but that won't fly in P5.

I haven't paid attention to what he has brought in at Colorado though, so I have no idea if that's changed or not.

He'll get them to some bowls from that weak arse conference but they'll struggle this coming season.

I’m going to assume he’s going to keep recruiting at a high enough level to make bowl eligibility the minimum expectation

As the CEO-type HC it boils down to
1. Can he keep attracting quality coaches
2. Can he maintain a disciplined program culture

Ed Orgeron is the recruiter who couldn’t do 1 and 2 and it gets ugly quick

6-9 wins a season seems right. With their portal success they’ll be competitive quickly but sustained elevated success is another animal

Conference realignment is also a variable. It might make his road easier by going back to a watered down Big12 but that might impact recruiting

I had better expectations for him when he first came in, but he seems to want to prop up his son at the moment: zero QB competition, pass heavy, defense looking a little too vanilla against the first team O…

He’s still in the high school mindset that he’ll just simply out athlete everyone like he did at Trinity and JSU. Colorado is poised to expose Prime.

First and foremost, it depends on what conference Colorado is in over the next 2-3 years. Once USC/UCLA leaver for the B1G, does Oregon and Washington go with them eventually? What becomes of the PAC? If those 4 leave, does Colorado go with Arizona, Arizona St and Utah to a Big 12 without Texas and Oklahoma? A lot of his success will ultimately depend on what conference Colorado ends up in.

I think very. People act like coaching football is on par with designing rockets. It's not. It's a relationship business and the product is a child's sport. He will be able to sell tickets and bring guys in.

Honestly he has already been a huge success. That was a dead program and he has revived the energy and is already bringing in players that they couldn’t dream of bringing in before.
If he consistently wins 8-9 there he’s a superstar coach. If he takes them higher than that??? Man



this....big time this....dont understand why it is so hard for so many to see or admit it either. dunno why so many of you hate him because he tells it like it is.

he is a really good role model, hasnt always been, but he is now.

Define "successful".

8 wins in year 2? Including the bowl game? Yea maybe.

They went 1 and 11 last year.
4 and 8 in 2021.

His problem is if he doesnt start winning pretty quick then the hype and fans will go away quick. The theatrics will only carry you so far.
