I see a bunch of people saying he won't have much success in year 1 and if he's going to win, it'll start in year 2. I don't see it that way.
I think year -1 the team is competitive across the board and at-or-above .500; maybe 7-5. Deion will probably even get a few words in the conversation for Coach of the Year. The talent upgrade and a coaching staff that doesn't self destruct should get them there. They do play in the Pac-12.
I see year-2 being the hard year. If year-1 is 6-6 or 7-5, the expectations for year-2 will be sky-high. The massive talent upgrade he's doing now is a one-time trick. Next year he'll upgrade a few players like everyone else, but the improvement in year-2 has to start from the top. Coaching, schemes, player development. It will be interesting if Deion has that in him.
College Football is my #1 sport, and love him or hate him, the sport is better off with some characters like him. We lost the Pirate, but we're getting Prime; he needs to have some success to stay relevant.
