He would bolt from RU in a heartbeat. And his success is entirely built on transfers. Not built to last.
maybe maybe not but no one here would not want the positive press he's had or Colorado has enjoyed. To suggest otherwise would be utterly ridiculous.
And our resident RU and Greg haters will lionize him and put him up there with Bear Bryant.
But the attention is starting to go downhill very fast- SNL just started to roast the hell out of him- and not in a good way.
But he has brought attention to the program, and that's all that matters!!!!!
I would much rather win next week and have the different sports outlets talking about Greg bringing us to Bowl games after a long rebuild then have a HC who gets rid of every player on the team, wins a couple of games and gets on national news talking how he loves to mentor kids and as soon as they lose- he throws their asses under the bus. Now roasted on SNL
I'm not following all that, and because you seem to be seeing more than I have seen, I'm not sour on Deion. He is unique, and he definitely as a different way of doing things. But my main question is it built to last, or a flash in the pan the cooks up the flavor of the week. More likely than not, it will be the latter. For some fans, that fleeting excitement and creating visibility is more important than building something that will last for years. To each their own, but no need for our own supposed fans to continually cast stones at Schiano by way of using Deion as some paragon of coaching greatness.
If you saw his last press conference he blamed everyone but himself. Especially his players. It was not a good look.
Just watched it (cued up)- he soft-pedaled the coaching issues right after throwing his DBs under the bus, throwing his player on the bus for not getting off the field fast enough; he took blame for the penalties, but then back to some of the players not built for the moment:
You consistently post the most insipid nonsense and then convince yourself of your genius.

This is what I figured would happen. It often happens with star athletes who become coaches. Having said that, Sanders did sound like was doing everything the right way leading up to this season.. at least he said a lot of "right" things about responsibility and character and so on.
Every season ticket for the entire 2023 season was sold out before the home opener at CU. Doesn’t revenue to the school matter?
We sell out every game from what I read…
I thought the coaching staff ran practices under the guidance of the Guess before going into the games the Buffs won that's the case.That was all good.
Travis Hunter made some bad plays/decisions and the secondary was a problem on some key plays
That's understandable having missed a month
A secret to coach is that his players believe him when he positive and/or complimentary because if they do something wrong/bad he'll say so.
Coach doesn't have a toxic spirit when he criticizes so players dont feel abused etc.
He'll also blame himself as he did.
Coach teaches that they things that go wrong lead tomore things dont right when corrected.
He 'loves the process" and mistakes are part of that.
The critics are more hung-up on the W/Ls than he is.

That wasn't as bad as others have characterized. The hood and hat pulled down.. like teh sunglasses (which might be for bright light issues).. it seems like he is trying to hide.. to detach himself from the situation. But he is being asked hard questions and answering them. It is not as bad a case of throwing players under the bus.. imo.
One of the things with Prime- I don't think he ever thought he needed practice either-
I agree. Not bad as bad as I had expected from the reviews. As with any cult of personality (not implying Deion is running a cult), such a person will engender a lot of negative reaction and criticism, often fully of misinformation, disinformation and slanted views to help people frame their dislike of the person and/or their style. This happens quite a bit with visible people with unconventional styles. Elon Musk comes to mind as another example.

OK thanks?Sanders was coaching while others were running the school. He knew that his name would be used to promote but he was only making around 200k he didn't need. The others were making 3x that and they had issues with regulations, bad accountants and banks etc. Regulators locked the schools finaces and teacher/supplier checks bounced. The school was in a death spiral pretty quick and Sanders didn't cause that.
Things Sanders learned from that school contributed to him getting out of HBCUs
They are poorly managed and financed - even player health and training facilities are sketchy.
Over and over people in inner city and rural schools catering to "underserved" students tend to be low on skills but high on salary/budget shennangans.
Kids cant read but admins have chauffeurs.
There are a lot of no talent leeches in the poverty game

If he was coaching the same 85 guys sure. But he isn’t. He’s coaching 85 new kids. The past has zero relevance
Recruiting and personnel management is the single most important responsibility of a p5 college head coach lol
I agree
Its a pretty lame figure if you're a guy with 7 figure Nike deals and estimated 45 million bank.
Deion didn't need 200k and said so
Others were using his name and Sanders had to do promotional/outreach stuff.
For all I know he used the money to buy kids food and gear (did it in the past).
He had some issues with Nike because they didn't send him gear for the kids.

When this is happening you need to do your due diligence about what you're getting involved with. I saw an article that the school wasn't even accredited so a lot of the kids who went there didn't get academic credit for their classes.Its a pretty lame figure if you're a guy with 7 figure Nike deals and estimated 45 million bank.

The new school wasn't even getting off the ground.
I see your point but if you become involved with some people on a new venture wouldn't you want to check them out first??

Can't do "due dilliegence" on a new thing - its a dice role no matter what
Did you see Bill Di Blasio's wife lose a billion?
The "idealists" with lofty goals can be the worst grifters
The "rescue" schools and programs etc are full of grifters and dopes and Deion ran into them
I ran into them myself doing community stuff
There are reasons why so many things have been bad for decades and never get better despite helicopter cash
