Colorado Buffaloes dangling offer of more than $5 million to lure Deion Sanders to Boulder
CBS News Colorado has learned the University of Colorado planned to offer Jackson State Head Football Coach Deion Sanders a starting salary of more than $5 million per year to become the next head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.www.cbsnews.com
Hopefully he hires a DC to teach tackling because Dieon never saw a tackle he couldn't shy away from.
OMG you mean we can't trust guys like Dieon? LOLOL

At least it’s December and not a week before Signing Day. Jackson St can recover and get a decent coach.

Great hire by Colorado. A dynamic and exciting personality who will be the ultimate salesman for the program. Will inspire a level of excitement not seen in Boulder in years. Must be nice.
Lets see the Denver media and Colorado politicians complain about tax payers money going towards Prime Time lol.
Don’t think he sat on it for other offers. Think it had everything to do with the game that they played yesterday, why announce when your team is working on an undefeated season
Man do you realize how much weed $$$ he can use for NILs. Played right and he will have a top ten recruiting class every year
Why not? Look what Elko has done in his first year, or TCU. All this “a couch needs 5 years to turn it around” is BS spouted by administrations that made bad hires.
So true. He could prevent WRs from catching balls.. but once with the ball.. he would always avoid contact until he could tackle them from behind. (of course, his ability to avoid contact was a big plus when HE had the ball!) Trade-offs.. even with that issue, he was damn fine football player who stayed healthy. But can he ask his CBs to play hard in run support?

First, it's not UC. It's CU. I get upset if someone calls Rutgers UR. 😜 Colorado, for the most part, is similar to Rutgers in the support it receives from the start of government and how it's treated at times in the public's eye (media). The difference is the fans, alumni, and boosters will step up and donate. CU over the last 10 years raised enough money to upgrade the stadium, and build a new football center, and indoor practice facility. All of this without getting help from the state. This is why the state can't b*tch about the school spending taxpayer money. That same perception is what handcuffs Rutgers.
Colorado residents are less embarrassed about the state school and have more pride in supporting the school.
FYI, CU is facing a pro sports town and nightlife like Rutgers. Everything is about the Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, Avalanche, and the cosmopolitan life of Denver metro area.

They said the same thing about herm edwards. Deion is not going to work out well at the p5 level
This is what we were told about when Edwards and ASU.
Let’s see if he can actually coach when he doesn’t have significantly more talent. He can’t outspend USC and isn’t a better coach than Utah or ucla. Are barstool and Colorado alum going to pony up millions in NIL for 6-6?
Was Edwards that bad ? He had winning seasons in his three seasons , throwing out the Covid year . Never lost to Arizona.
If schiano had that success he’s getting another statue
That’s a horrible comparison. The greatest player at the hardest position in sports vs a super athlete. I’m not guaranteeing Deion will fail, although I think he will. Then again, I thought fleck was going fail because he was all hype and rah rah.
No it’s not. It’s a fair question to ask . You guys are acting like the guy isn’t a hall of fame player. And he just had success coaching at a lower level, which people don’t want to acknowledge . …plum nails it again.
“That bad”? No. But he didn’t take over a dumpster fire. He never did better than the guy who he replaced. If schiano took over a program that finished 2nd or first in 4 of the previous 6 seasons I’d expect at least as much. Wouldn’t you? Oh and Arizona was a dumpster fire so beating them isn’t exactly an accomplishment
We shall see. I think this will be a solid hire. CU once had a great program and can get back there again, especially in a depleted conference, if and when USC & UCLA leave. Coach Prime is going to build a winner and eventually land a higher profile job. He’s a guy who knows how to coach and get money in this environment Unlike certain fossils coaching other teams.
Let's not get too excited about first year results. And here's an analysis of what Schiano would be subjected to if he had success similar to Elko in his first year, who did not take over a dumpster fire in the toughest division in college football:
Elko was 8-4/5-3:
Teams Duke Beat:
Temple: 3-9/1-7
Northwestern: 1-11/1-8
North Carolina A&T (FCS)
Virginia 3-7/1-6
Miami 5-7/3-5
BC 3-9/2-6
V Tech 3-8/1-6
Wake 7-5/3-5
Not a single win against a team with a winning conference record, and one win against a team with a winning record. We have heard this complaint about a certain coach and his record in 1.0 and 2.0 before. But we celebrate this record when it is someone else's coach. And Elko took over a well-run program under Cutcliffe.
May we take a look at Greg Schiano's first year?
Wins against Michigan State (2-5); Purdue (2-4); Maryland (2-3)
Losses to #17 Indiana 37-21; Illinois 23-20; Michigan 48-42 (3 OT)
Some of our fans like to focus on the worst aspects of RU's current situation and celebrate the "best" of other coaches, even if it may be a single year (and first year) of success.
As for TCU, another apples and oranges comparison.
TCU was 5-7/3-6 in 2021, taking over after a long and successful 21 year tenure of Gary Patterson.
No doubt about it, Sonny Dykes had a fantastic first season, but let's not compare the Big 12 to the schedule of the B1G East. Sonny was fired by Cal after a sub par performance, where, in his first year, he went 1-11/0-9 and finished in his last year 5-7/3-6, never finishing higher than 4th in the PAC12 North.
None of this is a defense of the state of Rutgers football or the record of the head coach. But please, stop with the false comparisons and first year records of coaches that took over completely different situations.
Please save this post and bring it up should Dykes and or Elko have fantastic second and third and fourth seasons. They may or may not do that.
Well that’s obvious, because we are all racist. But once you grow up and stop Looking at everything through racism you’ll see the obvious. They are both PAC 12 coaches who are “home run hires because they will bring attention and swag” to their new schools. When in reality, they are both tv personalities and former players. Edward’s hadn’t coached in college in 30 plus years. Sanders hasn’t proven he can win when he doesn’t have a competitive advantage. So basically you have two guys hired because of personality in the PAC. Seems like a fair comparison but you go back to your racism bubble. Moron.
Why did you bring up race? I did not see race mentioned at all. Did I miss a post?
I would not compare Deion to Herm just because they were DB's in the NFL. Deion will win if he can get players and the same applies to all the coaches. There are only so many wins when the other team has better players
You need at least even talent to consistently win
Guess you missed this post
That’s fair . But why are we comparing Deion to herm? Ummmm
Not really. Colorado outside of covid year and this disaster is usually around 4-6 wins.
No I saw that.
Why were you comparing them?
One had NFL experience as a good player and NFL head coaching experience but no recent college recruting experience
One was a great NFL player with celebrity status in the US culture and also college coaching experience where he brought in highly ranked players considered above his schools usual recruits
That really is not the same.
But it is from where they are now
I agree 6 and 6 forever will not be a success. But 6 and 6 in year 1 or 2 would be
I was comparing them for the same reason that others in this thread compared them as well as, talking heads on tv have. Because their main selling point is hype and swag. Neither have school connections, neither have area connections, and neither have Pac 12 connections. And neither are the best coaches you could get for the money.
6-6 in year one would be monumental. And I suspect he tries to go the USC route with 16 plus transfers starting. Will the NIL money be there. How much does Dave portnoy care about Colorado football
They have TCU, Nebraska, and CSU out of conference next year
