We won’t find out if he is an X’s and O’s Guy until next season. The talent level was on another level compared to the schools he played.
But in the power 5, his coaching will be critical to his success

But in the power 5, his coaching will be critical to his success
I don't think there is a real good comparison (which is fine)
and that is EXACTLY why its getting this much attention.
and lets be clear
there are MILLIONS of people who don't KNOW and don't care ANYHTING about this right now.
We gotta always be conscious when discussing these matters not to get our own heads so far up our butts that we think EVERYONE cares about the same things as passionately as we do.
Its a perfect storm scenario and also DISTRACTION!
Is there a comparison (does there NEED to be?) Maybe Geno leaving UCONN to coach the men's team? Nah.
Or maybe Kaep coaching a HBU to the same success as Deion and then LEAVING in 3 years for an assistant position as an OC in the NFL?
I think its Prime time who has been making the last 3 years a reality show
and this is the big 3rd season finale TWIST.
My boy at Auburn said he won’t be shock if Colorado is ranked in the top 25 once the rankings are dropped… if they continue down this path
Deion said this weekend will be huge
Flipped another one
At best Colorado is a 5 loss team. It will take at least 3 recruiting classes to get a top 25 team
Transfer protocol has cut that down to a good 15 session spring practice. There's no more waiting a year to join the team on the field.
So a current college football recruiter, a current college football coach, a recruiter that recruited against Deion for Travis Hunter
gives me some insight….
I come here to share it with the family, only to be told that info is off
Now I give you this, the odds are in your favor
Colorado wasn’t shit
so it’s up
but knowing what we know here at bgol
They might be top 10
Even with the transfer portal, you can only take 25 scholarships players a year. At best next season you looking at 5 to 6 losses. With a good recruiting class and some portal finds, season 2 you can maybe get to a 3 or 4 loss season.
It will take a few classes to build the depth tho
You ain’t going 1 in 12 with an average of 5 wins a season for 13 years and jump in the top 25 in one off season.So a current college football recruiter, a current college football coach, a recruiter that recruited against Deion for Travis Hunter

That just ain’t realistic. Anyone thinking Deion can pull off more than 5 wins next season is not being realistic
I went to a Historically White College and University (HWCU) to coach basketball, they got a number of them; Thomas Jefferson College, Benjamin Franklin University, or George Washington University - something named after a slave owner that took the labor of our ancestor. After winning a game, I came back, they had stolen all my shit I was working on - Intellectual Property; starting spewing Caucasian babble on why they did it when I confronted them.
I told them, I can't work with this ratchet behavior from a HWCU, I need to make money. That is when I decided to leave the U.S., don't want to spend decades in their court system trying to prove something happened.

RB in the transfer portal before practice is over
yeah reality show is IT..
if theres one thing that has to be given to Sanders is that hes been CONSISTENT in his behavior and actions all of his life. Sure he did GIVE the IMPRESSION he was in it for the long haul with JSU BUT there is absolutely NOTHING in his background that would suggest he was ever serious about staying at JSU long-term.
I'm kinda joking but I'm kinda NOT when I say that Deion is probably a very high functioning ADHD multitasker!!
Look at his resume since high school:
Highschool -
North Fort Myers High School, was a letterman and All-State honoree in football, basketball and baseball.
College career - 3 years
Sanders enrolled at Florida State University and played three sports for the Florida State Seminoles: football, baseball, and track.
FOOTBALL
Atlanta Falcons (1989-1994) - 5 years
He is the only Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee from his draft's top five picks to not spend his entire career with the team that selected him.
San Francisco 49ers (1994) 1 year
Dallas Cowboys (1995- 2000) 5 years
Washington Redskins (2000 - 2001) 1 year - retired
Baltimore Ravens - unretired (2004 - 2006) 2 years
BASEBALL
New York Yankees (1989–1990) 1 year
Atlanta Braves (1991–1994) 4 years
Cincinnati Reds (1994–1995) 1 year
San Francisco Giants (1995) 1 year
Cincinnati Reds (1997, 2001) 1 year each time
He's NEVER BEEN ANYWHERE longer than 5 years in his adult life! So JSU allowed themselves to get lulled into thinking it was a long term relationship and the way CU is going...All I have to say is if he does as well as he did JSU then LOVE IT WHILE IT LASTS...cuz by year 5 Coach Prime is going to be looking to level up to the pros and there WILL be lucrative offers!
Now if he were to do JSU the right way in terms of how he was talking about it...he should have had a 10 year plan. Improve the team...look to work with other HBCUs and try to get more funding thru govt, philanthropists and commercial contracts increased and solidified. While in the last 5 years groom his replacement at the school so that they're ready for his transition when he makes it.
There is NO WAY that he could have done that in 3 years. Also a lot of the improvements he brought to the school were closely tied to him personally. People made deals for HIM...not JSU in particular so if he wanted to have a lasting impact he needed to stay there at least 10 years as the new culture settled in.
At this point its really a big question on if JSU can continue the winning ways since he's literally draining their talent pool to make CU better.

Now imagine if Deion had went to coach to FSU?
The earth would shake.
Man... That's so fuckin' true!
I'd be ALL IN FOR IT.
Plus?
Even Bomani ain't gonna say NOTHING.
It was such a no brainer?
Of course it ain't happen.
he is already setting up the branding and has been for at least 5 years.

BOMANI JONESI'LL LIKELY SUPPORT DEION AT COLORADO... Most People Would've Taken Higher-Paying Job

Many people are beyond pissed at Deion Sanders for leaving Jackson State -- but, Bomani Jones, despite what people think, isn't one of 'em, ... telling us he's "not even really that upset" with Coach Prime's move to the University of Colorado.
Bomani joined "TMZ Live" on Wednesday ... to discuss the backlash he's received for seemingly going in on Sanders after announcing he was bolting from JSU in favor of the Buffaloes.
"I don't think that many people are really that upset at Deion," Bomani said. "But, we are in a time where legitimate, honest criticism of a public figure somehow turns into hating or tearing this dude when all I'm saying is, 'You said this one thing, then you did this thing.'"

Jones admits that Sanders, who went 27-5 in three seasons and won back-to-back SWAC championships with the Tigers, accomplished a lot during his time at the JSU ... but some folks are upset by his move because he overpromised and under-delivered.
"That is the cause for anger from a lot of people," Bomani said. "It's simply that he sold a bill of goods that he didn't really deliver on. He did a lot while he was at Jackson, but this larger idea that he was doing this for someone else was wrong."
Bomani said he saw Prime's decision to leave JSU coming a mile away ... and that he wouldn't have an issue with it had the former NFL superstar stated his intentions upfront, instead of leading people to believe that there was a bigger plan operating at hand.
"He was in this to get to the place where he is in," Jones said. "Congratulations for getting there, but we don't have to act like its more noble than it actually is. You have to reconcile what you said with ultimately what you did."

Despite the mixed reaction Deion has been facing, Bomani doesn't believe that Black people will turn their backs on Sanders or root for him to fail at Colorado since he's no longer coaching at a Historically Black College & University (HBCU).
"Black people are very forgiving people," Jones said. "He's in a position that very few of us get an opportunity to get into, and across the board, I think Black people will be supportive of him at Colorado 'cause once he's there, it's about something different."
a whole lot of incentives in that contract.........gotdamn....
