Probably not very but I hope he kills it

I could see him winning 8-9 wins a year once he gets rolling. His personality and fame will get kids there

They were 1-11 last year. The next three years:
7-5
9-3
11-1 playoffs
7-5
9-3
11-1 playoffs

He essentially ran his 1’s against his 3’s at the spring game on offense and defense.
So there was not a lot of competition and one would expect the offense to look good.

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

I think realistically 7-8 wins per year is likely, but the ceiling is there for more. They could easily have the second most talented roster in the “new” PAC most years

Will struggle to ever go .500.

I’m guessing they get to a bowl game this year, and he either jumps to an SEC job, or some NFL team hires him. I don’t think he stays in Boulder more than 2 years.
Before some of y’all laugh about the NFL, Kliff Kingsbury and Lovie Smith have recently held NFL jobs

Colorado football season tickets sold out for first time since 1996

And it’s spring. He was probably hoping no one had watched any Colorado the last few years and knew any better. He wanted everyone to think they looked awesome

If he stays at least 3 years their schedule isn't exactly going to be murderers row. This year will be tough though.
@ TCU
Nebraska
@ Oregon
USC
@ UCLA
@ Utah

He literally stated in the post game presser that this team needs a ton of work and that he guaranteed the roster that was out there for spring is not the roster they’re going to have by the fall.
So if anything he said the opposite of what you presumed

I'm not rooting against Prime, but it's crazy to me how people are already giving him an SEC or NFL job before he's even coached a game in the FBS.
CU has never been an easy job, even when they weren't a dumpster fire. When there were just rumors about Prime being interested in it, most people thought it would be a mistake. And if he does have some early success, why would he necessarily leave right away?
Also, comparing Lovie Smith to Kliff Kingsbury and Prime is kind of stupid since Lovie has actually taken a team to the Super Bowl.

I think he will make Colorado somewhat relevant again, then another P5 school will pick him up.
I could see FSU writing him a blank check in two years.

There are a minimum of 30 schools that could take him away w/o breaking a sweat and around 20 more that could engage in a decent sized bidding war.
Unless CU taps into some of the tech money that has vomited itself all over Boulder in the last decade they really don't have the funding needed to keep a flashy up and coming coach good enough to turn them around.
