Deion Sanders offered the Colorado job- Official Colorado season thread
- Thread starter Big Tex
- Start date
He already damn near replaced each one of them players who left or was told to leave…
I don’t recall any coaches being let go…
A few left for the NFL but that was early in the process…
Now that rampage you speak of started on the first date he got hired…
But it’s really wasn’t all him… if the position coach didn’t think you had it in you, u was gone
I just heard one of his sons mention he had to fight to keep his barber around cause coach was cleaning house!
I think he let go all but one of last year’s coaching staff and brought in his own coaches. It would be weird to let one of his own coaches go before the team started playing.
In his first video addressing the team, the team looked small and white. I hope they do a side by side comparison of that team and the team he brought in. The team will definitely look bigger and blacker. That’s the real reason Deon is getting so much heat.
He told the team on the first day that he was bringing in players and urged players to hit the transfer portal if they did not want to compete against the “dawgs” he was bringing in.
I’d like to think Half of them cats were gone even before Deion even got the call…
Few from the 2022 staff that stayed who kept same positions are:
Associate Director/On-Campus Recruiting
Maileka Slayton
Assistant Director of Football Operations
Emily Funke
Administrative Assistant/Assistant Coaches
Jean Onaga
Character Coach
Brian Cabral
Director of Player Development/Alumni Relations - Lance Carl
Director of Creative Services
John Snelson

Deion roster have 49 staffers, Coach Dorrell has 44 staff personnel…
11 of the 44 was retained…
I knew of 5:
- Coach Hagan
- Maileka Slayton, the recruiting coordinator
- The two white guy, from the media team
(When Coach said they need diversity)
- The Asian lady
I’m say this, glancing over the roster and coaching staff/administrators…I can see why Deion was hired. It’s bad to read a book by it’s cover but as a whole they didn’t have that look…
You have Chance Main, a edge rushers who just committed back to CU, who left before Deion was hired. Dude pretty much said in so many words “it’s a good change”. Even tho we see it but he felt a Completely different vibe.
I just checked the rosters for 2022 vs 2023
Seem like 30 of the 74 current players returned (maybe 31 if Montana Craig come back)
The 74 don’t include the recent additions over the last 2 weeks. I didn’t see none of the FSU guys(which is like 7)…
I fuck with Prime but the Cracka is correct. I just don’t think turning over a roster is cool. But I do understand why Prime did it and not faulting him for doing something that is within the rules. I just don’t agree with it
It’s no secret that many will feel this crackerjack words should be the mission statement….. but yet a crackerjack is the one that hired Deion to turn this around.
What the fuck Deion gonna keep all of those entitled losing attitude fucks around for. It’s bad enough folks attached 1-11 to him. Many folks who’s excited to see him fail (3-9) don’t even know the former coach name.
Folks be talking that shit but the attitude Deion witness during his first individual position meeting, showed during his couple months.
Shilo was focused, looking really hard
That gal had all of his attention
her hair is cute
In the brown? Cause that’s who he was looking at
ohh i thought it was the one in the white, yeah i can see why he was looking hard..lol
People playing dumb and can't wait to see him fail. You got black folks that mad he left Jackson State, you got white folk that dont want to see him succeed because that are jealous if he starts winning because then they will have no excuses
Yep…. The crazy shit is folks had plenty of mouf before about what he wasn’t gonna do but he doing it and they hush mouf
Them other coaches just madddd they ain’t getting players to leave Florida State or ain’t getting players from Florida
They don’t know how to work
Yeah I don’t agree with the method but will never judge or criticize him for doing what he has to do.
The school still honors their academic scholarship so it ain’t all bad for the student athletes
I don’t see the issue. The players are getting paid now. The Brothers coming in are more deserving of the scholarships than the underperforming CACs that were there last year. They all got a shot to fight for their spots. The only way I’d have a problem with it is if players that were not as good got the spots over them but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
