In contrast to his flashy, cocky persona, he seems to be a rather old-school coach in some ways.
OT: Prime Time will crash and burn
- Thread starter ScarletDog
- Start date
For the sheer talent he had, that wasn't good enough
That, and they could never get a stop when it mattered
2014 was such a weird year (rebrand w/uni's, Jameis issues, always getting down in games and coming back, Oregon debacle in Pasadena)
If it's any longer, you'd need to call a doctor.
I am intrigued if he lasts. I think his personality type is going to have him obsess over the job. I also think it is critical that he finds good assistants who are going to grind in the off-season and then he can finish off the recruiting process.
Truth be told, even with NIL, kids are going to buy into a program with a true vision and people who care about them. I also think that he truly does care about his kids, He is creating a perception of an environment that kids want to be a part of. If he wins there, kids are going to flock to him.
Sustained success is the hardest thing at any level of sports. If kids are buying into a program, and see the vision and plan, they will be successful.
Sanders and Leach are on my list of guys that I would go work for (plus a few more). I think Sanders' media presence is very different than how he coaches. I think he is a very good head coach.
Head coaches need to run programs well, not necessarily game day coach well. Any elite head coach in college has elite assistants under him. The most important things a HC does are hire assistants, raise money, deal with the media, and close the deal on recruiting, then coaching itself.
I could write a ton more about this but that would be too long.
If Mike Leach said those things it would be fine.
As the official board spokesperson for the chronically verbose, I don't think your post was close to being too long.
Good stuff. Thank you.
when you get a chance just touch on the thought of all of those personalities on the same team. You can have too many “primes” on one team. Particularly offense. Everybody wants the ball and wants the spotlight
No. Fastest players ever? Sure. To be a great player as a defender you have to tackle - or at least try.
I believe that a good coach, with a good program, that has clearly defined guiding principles can handle personalities. There will ALWAYS be kids that complain and do not buy in, and a truly good coach will make them sit the bench or show them the door (if they can not help the athlete grow up).
I am always fine with sitting a player, even if it potentially made us worse in that moment. The goal is to grow the program, and to prove the guiding principles are something everyone has to stick to.
I think DS is in a position to do this, because he doesn't need the money. He can say this is how were doing things, buy in or buy out.
To me diva players usually act like divas because they have been allowed to.
Every team in NFL history would have had him on their roster if they could have.
He is one of the greatest football players that have ever played
I would provide a link, but that is reserved to the talents of only one poster. And I don't want to make Message Board Geniuses in a Tweet storm
Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a pretty established technique used by preachers and politicians. I doubt most sports coaches go there.
Yeah but he can sure cover the best receivers and return kicks and punts on a hall of fame level.
I thought it was too boring to finish, actually. But that was back in HS and I lacked patience or appreciation for some stuff back then that I've gained since. So maybe I'll give it another try.
It was a sci-fi double feature. Star Trek 2: The Search For Cock and Sauced In Face.
Deion wouldve Pied Piper most of the Top Jersey kids to stay home, along with the national recruits.
Mike Leach would’ve had most Jersey QBs, WRs, to stay home, along with some of the national QBs, WRs, and others.
But RU keeps doing things THE JERSEY WAY and the best player was the punter while we are still debating on the real reason why the QB recruiting is the way it is.
I like the enthusiasm of the OP. But when you make predictions like this …you better be right
There are a lot posters here with a major man crush on Prime Time. I think he has as good a chance as any other P5 coach. He will have an edge in recruiting but lacks real coaching experience. He also has an enormous ego which usually burns coaches. He could get fired for doing something stupid in 2-4 years or he could win the PAC in 2-4 years. Anything is possible.
Would Prime Time have self-funded the program?
And I can just imagine the fun that the SL would have had with Leach, to say nothing of the faculty protests. and possible boycotts.
I don't care much one way or another whether Sanders succeeds or not. CU doesn't play in the Big 10. But you're making assumptions about what he would have face3d had he come here that I think are inaccurate.

Schiano was never a HC in the B10 and couldn’t win in a watered down BE. Yet he got all of the benefit of the doubts in 2020 for 2006. Apparently lesson haven’t been learned from the Leipold talk that winning in lower levels don’t mean crap when it comes to Rutgers. And like it or not, Sanders was 27-5, just like Leipold was 109-6 in D3.

Half his salary at JSU was $150k, which doesn't cover a single assistant's salary at Rutgers. When he donates half his salary at CU you might have a point.
I watched some Jackson St. games the past couple years. Why, because I was intrigue by him. Like @Legendary Irish said, he had a huge talent advantage. The announcers would talk about this kid or that and I was wondering why are they at this level? So, coaching remains to be seen he had OSU to Rutgers talent disparity.
He also needs to hire a more professional and talented staff. At times it looked like the circus had come to town. Prime Time is a sound bite waiting to happen, if he sticks to being the Carnival barker of the program and that's it, he may do just fine.

His son and QB, Shedour Sanders, is a major talent. 36 TD’s and 6 Int’s this season w 70% completion rate.
Does anyone think that Greg’s 2023 recruiting class will compete with CU’s?
You can watch JSU’s bowl game next Saturday at Noon on ABC and judge for yourself.

Not really.
By the time he's right or wrong years from now, no one will care about this post.
Lol.
Only because you keep necroing it.
We'd have had better things to talk about had you whiffed. Unfortunately, you HRed.
Unfortunately I didn’t whiff there . I wish I did ! But I did become a board legend so there is that
OP's post is just about his hatred for Deion Sanders. Stupid to root against anyone climbing up the ladder. No one can say anything derogatory about his coaching/recruiting ability so far.
