Colorado is not a storied program with history of sustained success, and have notably been the basement dwellers of the PAC 12, but all I can say is WOW.

I’m not asserting Prime is the best X&O’s coach around but he’s surrounded himself with some successful coaches. He’s been on the job for a month and has taken their recruiting class from 68–>19.

He’s signed the top corner two years in a row… I’m not declaring them PAC champs but can they go bowling with their difficult schedule?

2 years and he bails for a better job of things go well.

He will also take all his best players with him.

Oh most definitely. I really wanted to see him at Cincinnati. But he’ll definitely parlay the Colorado gig for a major Big 10 or SEC (Florida) gig

I stated the x&o comment because he was an offensive coordinator (on the high school level) but that was not his sole reason for getting the Jackson State job.

I mean no disrespect by the comment. & personally think he’ll bring an exciting offense though the ex Kent state coach

I don't see that happening. Maybe to FSU should that open up in the next 4-6 years. I'd suspect he'd need to win a conference title and perhaps Rose Bowl to get an invite into the SEC Coaches fraternity.

He will snatch your best player if you snitch on him again.

His inexperience in coaching? The fact that football now is hardly recognizable from when he played?

Ohhh wait you wanted to pretend to be a super hero. My bad.

Colorado is a very tough job. There's no real recruiting base and the state is full of transplants. CU was a power 30 years ago running an option offense, but times have changed.

I think he can get CU to minor bowls and that's all.

Right?

Because there’s so many people around here that’s watched an excessive amount of Jackson St games to come to the conclusion.


I watch a lot of the behind the scenes stuff his son puts on YouTube and I’m super impressed about how Deion runs things. It’s pretty entertaining to see what goes on. He may put on a show in front of the cameras because he’s building his brand his way, but when it’s time to get down to business, he’s prettt damn stern. I reccomend some of you check out some of the content that’s out there and you can see he’s not just dancing and goofing off 24/7.

If I were a parent, I’d buy into his message.

1st step is to build the roster and he’s accomplishing that. I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

Can Nick Saban do better than that there? The point for Deion is to move up to a top football program after getting the team to bowl games.

True, but I'm curious
How many different schools have won the national championship since the Buffs in '90?
