He may be getting his *** handed to him ..but I bet he’s earned a lot of respect after tonight playing both his sons and Travis til game was over.
Especially since his kid will probably go higher than ward and ward straight up quit.
Well this is true. Credit where credit is due.
However I think both will get humbled in the NFL but.... still point remains. Cap tip for playing tonight.
No they won’t. QB sanders and hunter are legit first round picks.
Two questions. Where was that team when he took over? Where are they now?
This. I get not liking the guy, but don’t act like Colorado isn’t worlds better and more relevant now than it has been in decades
We would be bowl eligible and have several photo ops with rappers.
If would be a crazy media and fan onslaught. It would certainly necessitate the University tightening up procedures, rules, regulations and greatly increasing security in and around the stadium.
I guess, but then you know they all had $ multi-million insurance policies against injury dropping their projected salary based on believed draft position. And the fact that Prime is worth $ millions himself it's not as if his son's were gonna be without generational wealth from pops.
It's a little easier to take risks if you know you can't truly be devastated financially.
Colorado’s “amazing” turnaround never would’ve happened before NIL. While impressive, it certainly doesn’t cement Deion as an amazing coach. Sure, his flash & persona attracts young recruits (which he can pay for now), but he’s not some X’s & O’s savant that helped a losing program start winning with the same players. If I remember correctly, Colorado had something like an 85% roster turnover his first season.
Hype eventually plays out. Bowl eligible. "Worlds better" might be some people's definition. I call it moderately portal positive with hype factor 50. Anyone could do the same with the same money.
Getting to the next level will cost 10X. They will be a mid program that's my bet. Why does Deion want to stay now that he's hyped his kids up and his Heisman 5 star he paid is gone?

Of course he made them “better”….he brought 2 first-round picks with him, one which was his son, and another that he used his business connections to pay way above top dollar get to sign with him while he was at JSU….and that dude went on to win the Heisman. Those are 2 things that he’s not going to be able to keep doing, and it still wasn’t enough for him to win a crappy league or win any big games.
It’s certainly fair to say that if Deion has 2 first round picks every year, at Colorado, then he’s going to keep doing well there, compared to recent history. But my guess is that he won’t.
how did saban and smart and Meyer do it if not with first round picks? Why are they geniuses and Prime a fraud?
People just don't like him as a person because he's arrogant. I get that. Plenty didn't like Mike Leach for personal reasons as well. But Colorado went from the worst program in the P5 to middle of the pack or higher in 2 seasons.
As fan of a team currently fighting Purdue for the honor of worst P4 football program, I'd take that 2 year turnaround in a heartbeat.
Obviously we would all like a 2-year turnaround but the question is, where is this program after the next two years? If, once his son and adopted son are gone, Deion loses interest and retires back to the booth, do they go back to being the worst team in the nation, or do they keep being middle of the pack?
Being better in two years sounds great, but long term - will it mean anything for Colorado or not? We really need to know that before those people who think we should have hired Coach Prime can crow too loudly about how badly we messed up.
For the record, I don't think we should have hired him... Deion took the Colorado job a week before Leach passed and at the time I don't think it was on anyone's radar. Even if he hadn't, it wouldn't have been a good fit at MSU. Culturally he would have killed most of our fans. Genespagers would have had strokes by the hundreds.
But, he has done well at Colorado. He has them at #25 in the 247 Composite, 1 spot ahead of MSU. In 2021-22 before he got there, Colorado was in the 50's and 60's recruiting at the very bottom of the P5. But for State, he's somewhere between Hugh Freeze and rehiring Joe Moorhead on the bad idea list.
That looks a lot like Dan Mullen’s record at Mississippi State, outside of 2014. Beat the bad teams, lose to the good ones.
Coach Prime has lifted Colorado's football program out of the dumpster, provided tons of excitement and publicity, and returned them to at least some respectable level.
If we were to ask Colorado alumni what they think of Coach Prime, then I assume it would be very difficult for us to find an unhappy Colorado alum.
If I could trade the results of our last two football seasons for having Coach Prime as our head football coach, then I'd do it in a heartbeat.
