Sure and if Nebraska or Miami went 9-3 I wouldn't be blown away because these are teams I've seen win national championships. I'm not saying colorado is a powerhouse or even anything other than a middle of the road team that occasionally competes for a conference championship but people have been portraying colorado like they're vanderbilt or something and it just isn't the case.


The 5 coaches at Colorado before Deion were 69-134

In the same time frame Vandy was 78-130

You can’t overstate how bad Colorado football was when Deion took over. They were the worse team in power conference football

No, Colorado is not AS bad as Vanderbilt. But they aren't too far off either.
Truth be told, I'd probably say that Vandy and Colorado are in the same tier from the last 20 years, the only difference is Vandy plays in a much tougher conference.

It’s hard to not think it’s a factor with the replies in this thread. The man has been in & out of the hospital. Has had toes amputated, his health is obviously deteriorating and you people think he is doing this to save face. Deion has done a good job with the kids in his program and the man gets constant underserved hate because you didn’t like him when he was a player.

Huh? That's called being a coach and getting recruits/boosters to buy in. Being a good "hype man" is called recruiting lol. Which, don't you know, recruiting is a part of the job of a head coach. How are you knocking him for doing his job well?

Do you not see how this is a completely different situation from other coaching situations? Other coaches aren't "celebrities", and don't have the ESPN hype machine behind them before they accomplish anything on relevance on the field (from a coaching perspective). That's not to say that Deion shouldn't use every advantage that he has, he definitely should do that. But, that isn't a sign of him being a good coach.

If it’s this easy why doesn’t every bottom dweller power 4 team just go hire an ex nfl player and become a decent team?

These ADs just need to follow the posters here!

13-12. His son is such a douche in interviews that he almost went undrafted when he was a projected 1st rounder. Doesn't act his age. Overrated

Because they aren't all as famous as Deion, and I would assume most of them don't want to get into coaching? Not to mention, we aren't even sure if it'll be sustainable. Maybe it will be, and he'll prove himself to be a good coach, but it's an uphill battle, IMO.

ETA: this is the list of celebrities at Colorado's first home game with Deion as their coach: Lil Wayne, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Offset, Master P, Terrell Owens, Shannon Sharpe, Stephen A. Smith, and members of the Wu-Tang Clan. Does this have any bearing on him being a good coach? It's all celebrity/hype, which as I said, I don't blame him for. But I don't think you can point to things like that to show that he's a good coach.

Are we talking about Deion or his son? Yes Sheduer can show more humility. At least publicly he is now saying the right things.

Because other teams will wait to see if it’s actually a good move for success and not just a one year wonder lol

13-12


Colorado won 19 games total the previous 5 seasons

Why do y’all act like Colorado is a halfway decent job? They have zero instate talent, very little institutional support, and no local buy in from fans and community.

Sanders has done a fine job. Not amazing, but not terrible. It’s so disingenuous to say “oh only 13 wins in 2 years”

Well like someone else said, maybe it’s not racial and you and some of these others are just terrible people.

I see it all apart of coaching. Yes, he has a giant personality, and he flaunts it on the media. But that is all apart of his brand. He's using his brand to help get players. That is recruiting. A big reason he had the hype machine is because of what he accomplished at Jackson State. It didn't come out of nowhere. He took over a really bad JSU team, a team that hadn't made a conference championship in a decade, and immediately he went 23-1 through 2 regular seasons, with a conference championship win in both seasons.

I guess it depends on the standards you're using. What do you consider a good coach.
