Deion Sanders offered the Colorado job- Official Colorado season thread
- Thread starter Big Tex
- Start date
That's a good question. I'd say eventually getting to 10 wins would be successful.
Colorado is not a big time program. The money they will generate from either the Pac 12 or Big 12 is nowhere near where a team in the SEC will generate. The SEC & Big Ten are about to shut out the other conferences from the big games (Playoffs). It's going the way of 2 super conferences.
With that said, if he decides to leave for another opportunity, do you think another coach can do what Deion is doing & bring a massive buzz to CU or would they return to pre-Prime?
Honestly, Colorado could probably be "aight" if they can get 8 wins regularly and at least be competitive and not get steam rolled when it's time to play Oregon and Utah. Just becoming competitive in the first year would be a good start.
They can't shut them out completely because the top 6 conference champions are automatically in the playoffs.
So they get gonna get at least one team in.
Regress. 100% of the momentum is due to Deon. Everyone that transferred there, did so because of him. The old players left. It’s Deon or nothing.
It’s not like it’s some old CAC that they could replace with another one. The NFL pedigree, the personality, the connections, the fame, the popularity, I can’t think of anyone who could replicate him. He has become their identity.
Montana Lemonious-Craig helped himself a lot by doing well in the Spring game. I don’t fault him for leaving seeing that Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn Jr seem to be the starters with more WRs coming in.
That's how it's working for now. But there's constant change with the CFP. The biggest dogs (SEC & Big Ten) can decide playing by the NCAA rules doesn't work for them anymore & create a super league shutting everyone not in it out. With the TV deals they have, they then can dictate what a championship game looks like.
I been worried if Deion & staff knew what was up with MLC
I kept thinking about this moment after watching Shedeur clip. I’m wondering if Coach telling him he’s proud of him and thats how you take advantage of a spring game.
Rhar
If he did that JSU would be cracking up!
It’s business. Can’t be mad if the coach leaves for better opportunities, if the school fires the coach for better results, or if a player transfers for better opportunities. It’s all business. In Deon’s case, he leaves programs too vulnerable because he is such a niche coach. Programs would be wise to ensure he has a long term contract to ensure he doesn’t leave before they want him to.
In the case of jsu it hurt deeper because it wasn't just business. Deion represented more than just wins and losses and school pride. He represents what black excellence is. And he was a living breathing example of that walking amongst kids who not only look like him but look UP to him.
Him leaving CU is just business.
I feel that the social impact of Deon going to and leaving Jackson State has been overstated. Jackson State is an HBCU that plays other HBCUs. Even if they dominated other HBCUs for the next decade, that isn’t saying much from a social impact standpoint. If Deon had Jackson State dominating the top PWI football programs, it would be a much bigger statement. That said, that would be next to impossible for Deon to accomplish at JSU due to the money available. IMO he has a greater opportunity to make a big impact by going to Colorado where he can put Black Coaches in positions for success by doing well and by hiring.
Man I’m glad Shedeur put this out there. Them talking heads been going crazy with the Shedeur is mad/salty story.
These cats were together shopping at the time of this clip.
During spring break they was in Miami together training, with Jimmy Horn…I’m sure they knew what was up.

DAMMIT!!!! Shocking the numbers of fans going to these Spring games!!!Colorado in there with the big boys
CU is even more impressive cause those other schools are probably coming off huge seasons the year before.

Question: For anybody that paid attention the last 2 seasons at JSU what makes that person think Shilo Sanders will make any difference at all on this defense?
Probably the best for the program because the talent level is so weak. Better to make room for other talent
So you don’t think he’s better than what was there?
I’d like to think so, but I wasn’t tuned in 100% over the last two years
Probably, shid it ain’t no probably
Man we clown Prime for going to a 1-11 team
We laugh at the talent level
We laugh at the band
We laugh at the body mass of the players
Ain’t no probably, them dudes had to go
I mean think about this, dude have 4 wideouts coming this summer…
Some folks gotta go…
