Deion Sanders offered the Colorado job- Official Colorado season thread

[Deezz]

Building a team isn't taking in a bunch of transfers to fill out your roster. There's a world of difference there.

College programs are built over time. With recruiting cycle over recruiting cycle. This Colorado team here is coached by Sanders but it wasn't built by Sanders.

It was built by him and his staff.

I agree w/ you though, it takes a few years to really find your groove w/ coaches and players and the needs you really have for your conference.

Although Deion was at CU pretty early before the start of the season, there were a lot of Blue Chip recruits that were already being groomed by other top programs. Now he will have an even better pick of the talent out there. The season after that, the same thing.

 

[BrownTurd]

Not in College Football, because not every program is created equal.

Giving Sanders a grade isn't necessary. It's year one. The team playing wasn't built by him.

Only 4 players remain from last year team. He brought in 85 new players this off season. So he will have to own this team. To be fair their is very little depth and almost completely void of any blue chip players

Are you referring to the portal?

All of y'all are ridiculous with these super high expectations...

Y'all seriously thought that IN THE FIRST YEAR of prime coaching on a new league and completely new team... that they would have a winning record and a bowl game??

The reality is Y'ALL let their early success go to your heads. The had early success because everyone under estimated them and had low expectations even tho YOU ALL POINTED OUT their flaws early on. The better more experienced and cohesive teams beat them and their own arrogance caused them to lose games they could have won.

But overall... they performed about as well as most originally predicted at the beginning.

Losing sucks but they're on track for their development. I'd give this a B+

I had 0 expectations of Sanders and my evaluation had little to do with their record. The team regressed, lacked discipline, had poor in game management, they aren't recruiting well, etc...I think Deion mismanaged the roster and has a lot of work to do in terms of running a P5 D1 program.

and all of that tracks for someone who has never coached at that level before.. nothing you said is surprising.

A successful season would be improving in multiple facets (OL, DL, penalties, recruiting etc.) as the season progresses. The team regressed as the season wore on.

you could call it a regression....but it seems more likely that all of their faults (which were there from game 1) just became more pronouced as they played better teams. The penalties were there the OL/DL deficiencies were there, recruiting etc etc...its just that winning covered that up OR people were willing to overlook it until they couldn't anymore..

What puzzles me about the Buffs is the refusal to run the ball. They will get 4 yards on 1st down and refuse to run even tho they got positive yards.

Two different play callers and yet they run the ball at the same clip. Maybe Prime feels Sheduer needs to be the one to make the offense go.

I think Prime's primary motivation is to position his sons for NFL success. Both coordinators are position coaches for his sons. Sean Lewis coached Kent State to a sub-500 record the past 5 years. He only had one full winning season the 5 years he coached at Kent State. He was brought in purely because of the PASSING numbers his teams put up rather than his teams actually winning. It is not a coincidence that Shedeur put up big Passing numbers on a losing team.
This season was a failure. Yes the team improved alot from last year, but he brought in a whole new team and he communicated high expectations for THIS YEAR. Not only is it the record, but also how they lost. They won early in the season and consistently lost bad later in the season. Recruitment will be tough because of the negative momentum. I suspect that some of the players who transferred and didn’t play will have a lot of negative things to say which can affect recruiting too. Some of the transfers had high expectations but just didn’t play much.

who has the ball the most? how has the highest NIL deal on the team?

I'd be pissed if I was Kavosiey Smoke. Transfered for his last year and only got 2 carries on a losing team.

He was on punt and kickoff team which ain’t what he envisioned when signing

I was looking forward to him carving up them Pac12 defenses

The first sentence...that part. Yep, which is why majority of the plays are passes to get his numbers up. NO RUN GAME

I said earlier in the year they wouldn't even win 6 games with that schedule but everybody called me a hater

It was built by him tho it wasn't many hanger overs from last years team on the roster the few that stayed he chose to let them stay which means he chose them

They just finished terribly and have a bad recruiting class. So there will be lots of criticism.

You have to understand that in “Sport talk” fans talk about the good and the bad.

When the conversation is about the “bad” it is not personal. You want fans not to speak at all? They can’t talk about their dislikes and what they would like to see done in the off season?

I thought they at least go .500

The season turning into a huge failure

nah no failure. They blew some chances, but no failure. This team was a top 15 team a couple weeks ago...they're heads & shoulders better than CU.

I say it was a failure based entirely on how they lost the Stanford game and Spiderman post says it all, the way they lost that game was the downfall for the rest of their season, you go into the game 4-2 with some exciting wins, a blowout loss and a close loss to one of the best teams in the nation at that time. In the first half your team is playing lights out, you're in the third quarter winning 29-0 with 9 minutes left you know you have a bye week the next week so your confidence is high looking at being 5-2 with 5 games left THEN somehow, someway you let a one win team walk you down and you lose, you go into your bye week not 5-2 but 4-3 asking and being asked how the did you lose that game. Their next 2 losses were close but with that Stanford win and 5-2 record the results might have been different, this last loss was just a team who has given up

 

[BrownTurd]

I wonder who played selfish

I am not to concerned with his statement, This is one of the drawbacks of having a team full of portal players, It is hard to initially build a culture this way.

Take UGA for example, they have been in the program since freshman, That culture and training is all they know. So they have a team full of upper classmen that not only show how it is done but hold individuals accountable.

In Colorado, everyone is new and trying to learn the Buffs way. This will change overtime so this is not a big deal to me. Also unhappy players comes with the territory.

 

[code_pirahna]

Deion can build off of this season. He has to get an O line. But even having a year together as a line will help them for next year

They had a lot of 1 score losses...they were in most of their games.

The truth is they are playing better teams. Oregon, Oregon St., USC, Wash St. There were tough teams every week.

I dont think recruiting will be hard at all it will actually be better. He is bringing in Warren Sapp to coach the D line also.

According to Prime, the team “quit” in multiple losses. They got blown out in 2 and some of the “close losses” were to teams they were favored to beat.

They started out strong, increased their expectations, then lost for the rest of the season. Unless they get some high quality transfers, they will have less momentum going into next season than they had at the beginning of this season.

Building a team in College is coaching guys from freshmen to seniors.

That's what I mean by that.

I'm sure you can appreciate how different it is when your seniors are guys you're coaching for the first time, as opposed to guys you've coached over time.

Too much focus was put on the O-Line as the reason for the disappointing losses. A lot of the O-Line shortcomings were due to scheme. The O-Line played well at the start of the season but got progressively “worse” results as opposing teams realized that they were not a running threat. Additionally, Colorado often had undersized RBs blocking.

The Buffs need to improve on offense and defense. They need better play at the LB, DB, QB,RB, and OL positions. At DL, they need to replace their most productive pass rushers in Dominick and Alston. They will need to replace the production of Weaver and I suspect multiple players will transfer out due to playing time too.

That Stanford loss hurt hurt

Have a good feeling if they didn't allow that come back they woulda won sum of these games down the stretch

But that shit broke their confidence

Their arrogance is where they fucked up.. prime's thrived off it but that's mostly from his individual performance and being on good teams. His kids and team are following his example but they haven't earned it yet.

[^SpiderMan^]

I disagree

I’m curious, what parts do you disagree with?
Did they get blown out twice?
Were they not favored in multiple close losses?
Did they not start out strong?
Did expectations increase?
Do they have more momentum or less momentum than they had at the start of the season?

For one I dont give a fuck what Deion thinks.....the team was in it for the majority of their games.

Losing teams who they were favored to beat dont mean shit cause anytime you line up on Saturday you can be beaten...fuck Vegas and their odds

Fuck expectations and momentum isnt how recruiting works. They re recruiting all throughout the fall.

He will get recruits simply because of all the hype and national TV time remember this is about NIL

Deion is a master at that.
