OT: Prime Time will crash and burn
- Thread starter ScarletDog
- Start date
Prime evokes passion
He’s a polarizing individual
Will be interesting to see if he succeeds at Colorado, but if there’s one thing I know about him, it’s that he love challenges
Hard to bet against someone with that much success and the self confidence to back it up
Well I would rather he that he is coming then about a 5 year plan because that isn’t coming anytime soon😀. “Don’t let his confidence offend your insecurities.”
You know the same people complaining about Deion and his first player meeting when he told most of them to hit the portal, would be complaining if he told Rutgers players the same thing. They would say that it’s not fair to these Rutgers/Jersey Men that they’re replace by these 4* mercenaries paid by Under Armour, Barstool, and others.
I agree...it will be very interesting. He will definitely attract a ton of attention to the program and a lot of talent. There's always been the theory that it's about the Jimmys and Joes, not the Xs and Os....and I tend to agree with this. This will be a much bigger operation than Jackson State....more to do...and it will be interesting to see how much control the school actually allows him to have once things are rolling.
It's absolutely the Jimmy's and Joes
The x's and O's are important as well, but won't matter if you don't get talent
Somehow I feel like they’d get over it once we started winning games again
Nobody would care if we started winning
All the bravado and faux outrage would immediately disappear if we started going to consistent Rose Bowls
Bro I hate to break this to you, but we’re never going to consistent rose bowls. Not in our wildest rutgersal dreams are we consistently making the rose bowl…. Tbh, I’m 33 years old, and I hope to see us do it once in my lifetime.
Unfortunately, I agree
For the sake of this argument though, I'm just saying if we started on a streak like that (due to a major donor stepping up Phil Knight style), as long as a Penn State / Baylor situation didn't happen, nobody would care about the methods it took to achieve that level of success
Sorry, don't see "polarizing." You also said you love or hate him. Don't feel either. Don't really feel much of anything about the guy. The thread tracking his progress or lack thereof will be more entertaining that the Lance Leipold thread.
First 2 games next year are TCU and then Matt Rhule-coached Nebraska
Not if Rutgers keep doing the same old same old. Coaches like Deion is the outside the box solution to help Rutgers problems.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 There would be certain groups would make Deion’s life (or Mike Leach) a living hell. Shoot, they said a 107-9 record in D3 or 2 FCS NCs wasn’t good enough for Rutgers.
Can you please point us to 5 year plan and where Greg himself said that? Thank you.
Yup, it's an issue, but if RU gets a home run hire there is a good explanation for the delay, perhaps we can all be happy?
On the other hand, if RU hires a retread like McNulty, well, that will suck.
I would agree with that. But if you think there is a home run hire they are just sitting on, well, that’s very naive.
I guess that depends on if we are talking tee ball home run or big league home run.
We’ll see if his quote comes to fruition. Article is paywall but you can see the quote in the tweet.
Man I pray that you don’t have to endure what I had to for the last 30 years for the next 30 years I am 62.
The TOS lists Coach Prime’s son one of it’s top 10 Heisman candidates. The buzz and press around the program is just off the charts.
The move before that one.

no, I don't expect him to crash-and-burn.
he brings the potential to do great things... with the "free" attention he brings, the quality of player and coaches he can attract and the potential....
He's also seen college football from the inside - and knows winners rarely followed the "rules"... and I'd expect full-on grey-area/bending even in the lawless wild-west of NIL........
That might spin out of control.... between the white lines.. he'll do fine.

A super fan for 80 years kicking off the Coach Prime era, named MVP
He should keep the Cowboy hat all season. A little throwback to Bum Phillips Houston Oiler days.
My fav Bum quote (about Bear Bryant)
" Bryant can take his'n and beat your'n, and then he can turn around and take your'n and beat his'n."
My favorite is about Earl Campbell, “I don’t know if he is in a class by himself, but it sure don’t take long to call roll.”
What I want to see is if Deion insists his DBs do run-stopping. Deion never did. Now.. stopping a ball in the air... fantastic, he was. Stopping a ball in a ball-carrier's hand? Not so much. He'd let them pass by him to try a tackle from behind or simply allow himself to be "blocked" while he made sure the runner did not get the sideline.
Another angle... he could back up his swag as a freakishly quick and fast athlete. Will he end up with players with swag who cannot back it up? Will he avoid good players that don't display his style?
It is something to watch... as CU fans have seem to have decided. Football is an emotional game.. he has that emotion going the right way already.

Dave Brown ran him over, nuff said haha
will be interesting to see if he calls in Woodson to teach the DBs how to play the part
