Really incredible how many CE board loons absolutely Hate Deion….I wonder why?😉
The dude took a 2 win program and in 2 seasons has completely transformed the program… like for context, Colorado was probably a worse job than RU post Ash before prime arrived. In 2 years he’s done so much more than Greg has in 5 it’s incomparable.. again similar situations when prime entered as Schiano, horrible roster, 2 win program that he’s turned around in 2 years… but hey, haters gonna hate
You realize that anyone claiming anything about "CE Board loons" self-identifies as a leftie loon who'll say anything in order to make a claim of racism as if Sanders' himself had not opened himself to criticism.
Lets eliminate YOUR preferred explanation first..
1) He's black (that reason makes no sense and everyone knows it)
Okay, onto the real reasons people doubted him:
2) Colorado? He's going to win big at Colorado?
3) chases off half the team and brings in new players?
4) makes outrageous claims about his success off beating a bad TCU team
5) starts his own sons on O and D.. when they go to the NFL will he just insist on coaching them there like he seems to have done their whole lives?
6) what star players have made great coaches in the past?
7) The PAC or Big XII is not the Sunbelt or whatever conference Jacksonville State was in... how can anyone have confidence he'd win?
8) Colorado ended up 1-8 in conference and 4-8 overall in 2023
Now.. we know there was also a lot in his favor.. but I'll do what you seem to like and will put your top reasons first
A) He's black (that reason makes no sense and everyone knows it.. unless it makes it easier to recruit black players)
B) BIG NAME in a world where that matters now more than ever
C) Colorado? They are desperate made a desperate choice in Sanders.. they support him
D) His sons are very good
E) He brought in a player who'd win the Heisman
F) He made more changes and more changes and it worked out
G) He makes money for the networks and will always get positive coverage because of that
H) Colorado is 7-2 and 9-4 overall this year in the Big XII.
The CE Board and politics and even racism have nothing to do with the argument for or against Coach Prime. But you wanted to insert some political point... good job.
Happy New Year.
