Coach Prime and the Colorado football team went form being ranked and being undefeated to losing all their games fire this joke

This ^^^ . W/the transfer portal and his name draw, they will become contenders in a few years. Not gonna happen overnight though and he may want to lose a few of his recent "receipts" or talk a lil less and coach more.

Could have won the same amount of games with the old coach. Where was all the Colorado fans last year? Nothing about we'll get em next year. Think any SEC school would allow a new coach to step in and win only a few games. Hit the road Deion. What's with all the rizz celebrating after making a first down or touchdown when you are getting an @$$ kicking by Washington State.

The portal worked for Coach S to get all these guys to CU, now that things are starting to fall apart in the locker room and these stars realized they were sold a bill of goods will they jump in the portal again

Live by the portal die by the portal

Based on my observation of Am. football players, H.B.C.s&U.s, the athletes are smaller and not as strong in the weight room as top football players, Power 5 Conference. Lack of size &/or lack of 600 pound free weight squatters has become an issue this season, U. of Colorado. It's possible Sanders can get bigger and stronger men going forward.

Deion Sanders dumped a bucket of water over Tim McCarver’s head during a live national telecast. He disagreed with McCarver’s opinion that Deion needed to commit fully to baseball or football because he was shortchanging both by “splitting” time. Deion never apologized.

Deion adds excitement to the Colorado football team because he is “Prime Time.” He’ll be able to recruit more talent and improve the team, but remember the McCarver incident- that is the real Deion.

PS - he snuck up BEHIND McCarver and dumped the bucket over his head. That’s the real Deion - an unapologetic coward. (YouTube the video for proof).

If you want to see an unapologetic coward - look to the loser who started the original thread that claimed Prime would win one game and be fired midseason and then ran away when he got laughed out of the thread.

Someone clearly doesn't know the definition of what a thug is.

Hasn't Colorado's distance program brught a lot of attention to the school?

When they were 3-0 and the hype train was going crazy, I said to just sit and wait, because things can change quickly and a few games do not determine long term success. Now that they uave come back down to earth, I am saying to sit and wait. For a team as bad as Colorado has been in recent years, going from one to four wins (assuming they don't win again this year) is a step in the right direction.

The question is whether that progress is based upon a solid foundation (that is questionable) and can be replicated and built upon. Look at Michigan State a couple of years ago. They went went 11-2 because the best running back in the country transferred in. It wasnt duplicatable and now MSU got stripped bare when a couple of their stars transferred out and they could find someone in the transfer portal to replace them

If Colorado football is at the same level in a couple of years just because they are getting a few good players and not really developing them, then it is a failed experiment and they will need to move on (if the coach hasn't moved himself at that point). However, if Colorado is contending for conference championships and qualifying for the CFP, then you can call it a success.

Right now, they haven't even completed a full season yet, so I would advise to hold off on the judgement right now.

I don't get the negativity. U. of Colorado's offensive line wasn't good last season and Deion Sanders' guys on offensive line this season aren't good. It has caught up to Colorado as the season progressed. The stuff many posters are discussing on this thread is irrelevant. 6'4" to 6'7" 280 lbs. plus strong and agile offensive lineman are difficult to obtain.

Last year they had 1 win and 1 loss that was within 1 score. The other ten losses were blow outs. They had the 5th worst offense in D1 (15.4 PPG) and worst defense (44.5 PPG) for a net average of minus 29.1 PPG. This year, their offense was in the upper third (29.2 PPG) and their defense was still poor, but improved (6th worst at 35.9 PPG), for a net minus 6.3 average. They have won 4 (including beating a ranked opponent at the time), and had 4 losses that were within 1 score (3 against teams that were ranked at the time). They had three blowout losses. They have made dramatic improvements. Additionally, he had a good recruiting class and should be able to stack some more, which should help fix the defensive and offensive lines in the seasons to come. They should be more concerned with someone trying to lure Sanders away from CU than firing him.

Deon is thinking about the long game and is trying to build up his player's strength and skills. He knows what it takes to be a world class football player as he has been on superbowl/world championship teams and the athletes need time to adjust to his system, since it is so highly demanding. So what if they are terrible now - other coaches at legacy college athletic programs get 3 years to totally rebuild their teams (even if they were good already) and are allowed to have historically poor finishes, so why can't he? If anything, the criticism I have for him is that his players play too much and aren't on steady steak I mean pork offal burrito diets.

Not true. I remember your username from those posts,,,,,,sheesh. You were completely bought in to Coach Prime and predicted they would make the CFP.

The game plan that they put out was to simple and one dimensional. A couple hours of watching game tape allowed all other programs to easily shut their stars down. If they diversify and develop a multidimensional plan they could have success. This years exposure should also help recruiting.

63rd in recruiting as of now. Top WR verbal commit backed out a week or so ago. That’s not necessarily terrible since they need lineman more than anything, but it does send a message that people won’t go to CU just to play for Deion. Finishing dead last in a weak division doesn’t send a good message to recruits.

I thought the second bucket of water was over the line but thought the first was kind of funny, considering how venomous McCarver's criticism was throughout that week and especially during the game. It was real generation-gap crapola that made me tire of McCarver - he was a bit too much of the 'back in my day' school of announcers (he knew his stuff, no doubt, but the delivery of that knowledge often required a long-winded story about something that Bob Gibson did, etc). I could see what Deion was pissed off and why he decided to stick it back to him but should've quit while he was ahead.

And for anyone who has never seen Deion run the basepaths - look up the videos. That guy turned long singles into triples in a way that was a work of art. He wasn't on par with Bo Jackson's overall skill set, but he provided a lot of thrills as the other great two-sport player of the era (the less we say about Brian Jordan, the better).

Why not just say that the 'new players are near' and call a spade a spade if that's what you need to do? Cloaking it in the most obvious euphemism isn't concealing what you really want to say. Back in my day, someone would be a bit more vague when they said it - I mean, it could have been a white welfare queen in a Cadillac, right? Kids today - you just don't understand nuance.

He's going to steal these guys right out of Wetmore's locker room.
