It really is crazy to look back at

2023: 4-8 (1-8 in PAC), 1-5 vs T25 teams*
2024: 9-4 (7-2 in B12), 0-2 vs T25
2025: 3-9 (1-8 in B12), 1-2 vs T25
2026: currently 3-5 (1-4 in B12), 0-2 vs T25
*TCU was preseason #17 & finished 5-7

18-25 total record, 2-11 vs ranked opponents

Is it more likely he gets fired or hired somewhere else this year? I don’t know what his contract situation is

He will never be fired and noone else is dumb enough to hire him. The buffs are stuck with this horrible expansive mistake until he gives up coaching!

Did CU rush the field this weekend?

Unless he wins out i can't see any team hiring him. Even that 9 win season he beat a couple of 8 win teams and the rest i believe had losing records. He isn't that great of a coach. He won at JSU cause he brought in better talent than the other HBCUs but also never won the celebration bowl.

I was hoping that he would be successful at CU but his constant shite talking (while being a shite team) got old fast. I see him retiring for health reasons.

I think the issue is CU doesn’t have the money to fire him. And Deion’s ego is too big to mutually part ways and negotiate a buyout

He ultimately resigns for health reasons.

Considering the size of his buyout, he'll be healthy enough to figure out a way to make it to the sidelines until the end of the 2029 season when his contract expires

The only problem with that is if he really cares about his 'image/legacy' coaching. They are probably not gonna get to a bowl game this year and if he fails to do so next year I could see him dipping due to 'health' and using that as the excuse to get out. Colorado would probably happily pay a decent chunk of the buyout to get that circus out of town.

It's possible. However, he also has a buyout to consider. Saw he will have to pay $10M if he leaves before the end of 2026 (calendar, not season). Not sure how much that gets reduced by year.

I am sure he could get a medical exemption to waive what he would owe, but would he willing walk from his buyout ($25M before end of 2026, $17.5M for 2027, $9M for 2028).

At a minimum, we're looking towards at least 1 more year

I could still see them making a bowl this year. They have been playing better since Isaac Wilson took over as the starting QB. They had Utah on the ropes a couple weekends ago.

Their remaining schedule is at Arizona State (4-4), Houston (6-2), at Cincinnati (5-3), UCF (4-4).

No guaranteed wins but I do think every remaining game is winnable.

pretty safe to assume the team would tank once hunter and his son left.

Speaking of the Sanders and their getting individual paychecks, is Shedeur still with Cleveland?

Ever since his sons left, Prime got that young, hot girlfriend, and bought a house in the Caribbean, it's been just a matter of time before he leaves. It looks to me his mind been left Colorado.

I think he is still good for them. Who else will recruit and push their brand like him?
