OT: Prime Time will crash and burn

FSU
I’m an FSU fan first, Rutgers second
Technically, Ron Simmons put us on the map
Deion & Bobby took it to the next level, then Charlie & Dunn got us to the top of the mountain

"Notre Dame lost a big piece of its 2023 recruiting class on Thursday afternoon.
4-star running back Dylan Edwards announced his decommitment. The decision comes just a couple days after Edwards was offered by Deion Sanders and Colorado."

Somehow Colorado has fired one coach and hired another who has in turn hired 10 assistants.
Yet we can’t hire our OC. I’d be less worried about Colorado.

Didn’t he get the number one recruit in the nation to go to Jackson State? Colorado has a gorgeous campus, girls etc.
If they have the supporters for the NIL deals he will be fine. They won one game last year. Just get to bowl games and they will be happy. Don’t think they are expecting to get a NC anytime soon.

Gorgeous campus? Not even close. I was there in May and was shocked how average it was. Boulder is a cool town but overall the experience was lacking.
I have never had anything against Sanders. I do think he will have an immediate impact but not sure if he can sustain it.
But Colo seems like a place he will be able to do anything he wants to do.

Still doesn't change the fact that it is true.
Extreme confidence or false modesty who cares if a person exhibits either one. Neither changes the facts.
Agree
Prime is arguably the greatest cover corner of all time
His confidence is unparalleled
Mix that in w his persona, swag, trash talking, natural ability and brashness, along with his punt returns, INT’s, playing wide receiver, MLB baseball, and overall personality and the man is one of a kind
As mad as I was at him for the Travis Hunter situation, I still love the guy
The 100 year old stadium looks like a dump
But they put natural grass back in 20 years ago.
Its also over 5k ft elevation
I’m sure the CE people would love the hell out of him and would offset the non protests.
TBH, As would I’ve been saying for years that he’s one hell of a coach. And as others said here, he has helped kids from three different jobs to the NFL. Don’t forget his coaching tree is getting better.
Actually Bowden was responsible for putting FSU football on the map. The program was in bad bad shape when he arrived in 1976. It was his ability to recruit and “sell” a championship vision. He recruited Simmons, et al. Also UF being put on probation in 1985 helped FSU’s recruiting go to a top national level. He also had great stability within the coaching staff for many years. If they would’ve figured out a way to run the ball better they could’ve won 4 or 5 NCs.
Simmons was Bobby’s first big recruit
Without either of them, they wouldn’t have achieved championship status
After coach Peterson left, the program was in trouble. Bobby had a vision and saw it come to fruition.
His offensive innovation, combined w UF going on probation, and a grassroots booster effort led by George Langford and Andy Miller, largely contributed to the rise of FSU football
If not for wide right 1, 2, wide left, 97 at UF, richt taking the UGA job and Weinke breaking his neck, the Noles could easily have 5-6 titles
For my money, Bobby is the GOAT
From what he inherited, to where he took the program, always playing Miami, having the “play anyone, anywhere” mantra, consecutive conference championships, national titles, and his overall personality, the man was absolutely legendary
If Colorado has a bowl season in Prime's first year, he will be elected Governor of Colorado. My question is how he handles adversity should the team struggle.
That goes for every winning team. Sa ban’s first NC at LSU, OC: Jumbo Fisher. DC: William Muschamp. PT will be fine because not only do players want to play for him, coaches will use his spotlight to move up the latter. The have already hired an OC and DC, already received a commitment from a 5 star player. Potential transfers are calling Colorado asking for an opportunity. He not recruiting them, they are recruited him😀. There will be no Fort Knox secrecy there like another place I know.
It’s beautiful
Matching brick throughout on most of the buildings
Two large “greens”, sprawling weeping willow trees and the best eye candy I’ve ever seen
It’s landlocked though, being the smallest of the large state universities in Florida, making expansion, and in particular, their new football operations building, a tricky proposition
College Town was just built less than 10 years ago. Within walking distance of Doak Campbell Stadium (which i think is the most beautiful stadium in the country), it has a bunch of bars (Madison Social is phenomenal), restaurants, student housing, hotel, and a dedicated Booster bar (51 on Madison - my personal favorite)
Doak is a special place, but especially at night. The UF game 2 weeks ago was absolutely electric, and the ensuing celebration spilled into the wee hours of the morning
If you get a chance, I highly recommend taking in a game there. From the tailgating, hospitality amongst fans, pagentry, traditions, Marching Chiefs, warchant, Chief Osceola & Renegade, etc - it’s truly a sight to behold
I will never call PT ignorant, might agree that he is arrogant. However, show me an elite athlete or coach that isn’t arrogant. He put his team on notice, I am bringing in talent, if you don’t think you can compete, leave. I will say this if he had QB play like us last year, he would have already signed 2 transfers. To not sign a transfer after last season is extremely “arrogant”
Yeah, landlocked so difficult to expand
They bought a bunch of land out by the airport, so that’s in the future plans re getting bigger
Right now I believe undergrad is 35k students so they’re growing at a rapid pace
Agree. But Colorado also stinks. They're a fair comp for the "it's a complete rebuild and he needs 6 years" crowd.
If / when Colorado looks competitive, scares a few teams, and hell, fields a functional offense, then hopefully it will prove to people that Schiano is way over his head and has no idea what he's doing (it won't change they're minds).
If you need a five or six year build you aren’t rebuilding. You’re losing and will continue to.
Schiano is using an old playbook for a new game.

I think this is accurate
I am a fan of Schiano but in the new environment he may not be the right person.
if fits the colorado setting ..below is a ranking..take it for what its worth.....football facilty is top tier...
Most Beautiful College Campuses in America
Yep
Wide right 1 + 2
Wide left
NC vs Oklahoma - game plan effected bc no kicker
You have no idea what you are talking about. ESPN recently named him the best cornerback of all time, and it wasn't a close vote.
I’ve been to fortunate to have visited almost every campus on that list. I agree Colorado is high on most lists. My comment is also my opinion based on being there and expectations from my friends that went there (who always describe it as the coolest place ever).
You also happen to have picked the one that ranks it the highest. It gets high rankings mostly because of its setting. The actual campus is nice with buildings that all look the same. When you go into them, a lot are very old and need updates. Student center was very cool. Definitely not a bad place to spend 4 years or more.
I also go to Yale a lot. I love the old/historical city schools but outside of the architecture and occasional green space, think it’s also a little high on the list because it’s Ivy League.
