Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado


Don Johnson

Recommended Posts

I will freely admit I find all the excessive overreactions to Deion to be mostly annoying. He is a solid coach and I have been pleasantly surprised with his results after last year's nose dive. I expected a Prime Prep style flameout and he has proven me wrong and I will give him props. Time will tell on how he feels about coaching long term after next season. I do think college football is better with a relevant team in Boulder.

Lol at anyone propping up CU.

Colorado is far better right now than basically anyone here thought they would be.

- Would be the first bowl win since 2004.
- First head coach with a winning record since Gary Barnett (true win or lose).
- Highest fan interest since... ever?

Deion has done a fantastic job.

After being featured in two glowing segments on 60 Minutes and being named 'Sportsman of the Year' by Sports Illustrated for going 4 - 8, he continued to whine about not being treated fairly by the media. He's a cunt. 

If you’re going to make not being a cunt a criterion for being a head football coach you aren’t going to have enough head football coaches

Even in that world of sensitive, tender asses, Deion holds the mantle for whiniest bitch in the industry. It takes a rare breed of labia skin to ban a columnist who does snark and boomer humor for the Denver Post.

This is pretty cool actually, Travis Hunter is one of Colorado’s biggest NIL contributors and he’s playing in their bowl game.  
 


Fresh off a whirlwind weekend in New York City taking home the 2024 Heisman Trophy, star wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter returned to practice on Monday with his Colorado teammates to prepare for their December 28 date against BYU in the Alamo Bowl. After earning AP Player of the Year, Walter Camp Player of the Year, Chuck Bednarik Award, Biletnikoff Award, Lott IMPACT Trophy and Paul Hornung Award honors, Hunter easily could have declared for the 2025 NFL Draft instead of playing in a non-College Football Playoff bowl game.
According to team videographer - and Coach Prime's son - Deion Sanders Jr., the team-mentality that Hunter showcases doesn't end on the field. In a conversation on the Zero 2 Sixty podcast, Sander Jr. revealed that the All-American two-way superstar - and one of the top NIL earners in college sports - doesn't take money from the school's collective, instead donates his own money to other players on the team.
Did you know he receives no NIL (money) from the collective?" Sanders Jr. shared with Zero 2 Sixty podcast host Matt McChesney, a former Colorado offensive lineman. "He's one of the biggest donors to the collective, meaning he's paying a lot of others' NIL on this team. He's paying at least 10-15 guys' NIL on the team. He's donating his own money."  
Most of the hate that is directed at Colorado is because of their coach who is arguably the greatest football player of all time.  Always ignoring the fact that none of his players have been in any off the field trouble and also do well scholastically. Their jealousy and envy cloud their vision instead of looking at the overall good Deion has brought to that program, and heck college football in general. And now with Travis winning the Heisman naysayers and haters will still criticize this exceptional athlete who is just as exceptional as a person!!! Congratulations Travis!!!

Yep. This. Like so many scam coaches we endlessly subjected to, like Herman, Jimbo, etc, Sanders can absolutely be a blowhard. 

Unlike those has-been (or in the case of Herman, never have-been) retreads, he understands what it takes to be a successful coach, keep his players focused and is charismatic enough to attract top players.

More power to him.

That article is missing something. Is he making his NIL outside the collective and donating a part to the collective? That would make sense since he’s far more popular and can probably sign tv ad deals dorectly. Bit that’s not clear from the article. I’ll be interested to see how many snaps he actually takes though.

It's a perfectly accurate post. It takes an insecure bitch to go to the lengths of banning a tubby little columnist from your program for making snide and sarcastic comments. 

And only the most rabid prime-sexual would fawn over him for only beating two teams with a winning record. He did a great job of accumulating talent fast. And then mostly squandered it against lesser teams. But he does indeed deserve credit for rapid improvement. But not as much as Kenny Dillingham. But you probably don't even know that name because it isn't provided with your daily ESPN enema. Deion is barely the fourth best coach in that shitty conference.

The two weirdest things about this thread are that the buff fans here have never seemed to be very knowledgeable about their own team's roster and the casual, just here because "Deion shiny" poster can't stand it if they sense you're not wholly buying into his self aggrandizing gibberish.

The fawning deion disciples fail to highlight his most important victories. Even @Pancho lazily drops in to post a carefully crafted PR message. Because Deion is probably the first college coach to tell their team not to smoke or fuck around before a game. Or maybe they just failed to choreograph and film it for the masses. That's like texting your friend a Geico commercial. 

Acquiring Julian Lewis was a program coup and probably the biggest thing to happen to the school after having Shedeur and Hunter fall in their lap. Getting the Salter kid from Falwell and Rape Enthusiast Ian McCaw University was a sneaky and underrated depth move. That class ranks in the mid thirties with only 14 high school players. TCU has a higher ranked class but probably only because they signed 30. Deion could easily have a top ten class but he's too special to travel and indulge a recruit's family. If he had signed 25 high school players last year and developed some EE's they could have shored up a couple of units where they were paper thin. Deion's game management and a dearth of bodies at some positions are really the only reason they didn't run their schedule in the big 12. If they had done that they're likely paying Texas this weekend. Eventually CU fans will begin to resent that nonsense if they can ever dislodge their heads from deion's diamond-encrusted sphincter.

Hey man, look, I can respect that you were likely a little intoxicated and full so good on yah. However, not providing pics of said enchiladas nor a clarification of the sauce... 

Last I checked this was the the Deion Sanders Thread. Aka Coach Prime pro/anti slap fest location.

It was not, to the best of my knowledge, Nahm!!!  There are fucking rules. Now pics or GTFO!

SA is “dangerous” for QBs. I remember when TCU came to town, they lost their starting QB on the River Walk (etc?). Down by a bazillion at the half, a 3rd string Hornfrog, thinking 2nd string guy got injured or was already injured, and the 3rd stringer led them to a remarkable comeback victory under Patterson.

The Oregon lead was so large at HT, I begged my group/party to wait until TCU’s 2nd possession of the half to see what happens, plus the “eye candy” Frog “Spirit Girls” were directly an isle over and a couple rows down.

Every TCU score pissed off the women in our group hoping for an early exit. What an amazing victory vs Oregon that game turned out to be.

Hook’em!!!

See, I think the weirdest thing about this thread are the posters still trying to carve out ways to be "right" about Deion being destined to fail.

Deion has been polarizing since his days in the league. He loves the media attention and has his entire career, prior to and since coaching. He's done a lot of things off the football field to increase this polarization, many by his own design.

Why on earth would people hoping for Deion to fail be weird to anyone at all?

Among College Football villains he isn't even top 10. Maybe not even top 50. Especially to a Texas fan.

So yeah...I don't really get it.

It's not just his college career. Jesus this isn't that difficult. What part of my post just above yours is so confusing? 

As for not being a top 50 villian in college football, that's just silly. Define villian, because we're clearly at a semantics argument point.

For me it’s the grandstanding of his values yet his son committed a vicious assault. After that, there’s numerous chances to make it right, most importantly through the $12mm owed to the victim yet Shilo tries every avenue to not take responsibility for his actions, despite having the financial means to do so.

Beyond that, Deion makes media a big selling point. I get that’s the world we live in but I just don’t like straying further and further away from what the sport used to be. Oh well, fuck Deion. I get to have an opinion. No one has to give a flying fuck one way or another, that’s the best part.

This shit is absurd.  Travis is the model for all college athletes.  He works hard, he's a good person, he doesn't get in trouble and he has good grades.  But shitheads like you gotta take shots at him because you don't like Deion.  It's ridiculous.

That is my understanding, yes.  He makes most (or maybe all?) of his money outside the collective but he donates to the collective.

Bro, they were the worst team in college football 2 years ago.  The fact that they are 9-3 and playing in a bowl game is amazing and every CU fan is thrilled at what he's accomplished.

Nah, I know the roster and talk more in depth in other places.  The Deion haters around here aren't interested in talking about the roster, they're interested in shitting on Deion. So I just check in here from time to time.

He's looking at building the roster differently than teams have in the past.  He has said he doesn't want freshmen who are going to come in and sit for 2-3 years (probably because he knows the odds are good that they will transfer out).  He wants freshmen who will come in and compete for playing time right off the bat.  So he's pickier about the guys he signs and he doesn't want 25 HS kids in a class.  You obviously don't like it, but he's doing it on purpose.

Just to be clear, he absolutely could not have a top 10 high school class as it stands at CU.

Top 10 classes for 2025 have both way more recruits than CU and have higher averages across the board.


IMG_9072.thumb.jpeg.560b3e24eaec32d9e5d1ea022e4e012b.jpeg

He's recruited a class that's 0.42 better on average than TTU who has 9 more commits and includes 3 dudes ranked outside the top 200 in Texas.

IMG_9071.thumb.jpeg.71caa2f9fcefa6a5877b821a6af0f350.jpeg

you are acting like this is Clemson's class, when it isn't. Clemson has 5 fewer points with 9 fewer commits than CU and 18! Fewer than TTU

IMG_9073.thumb.jpeg.0f9d80c962440edc7341cb6c867073c7.jpeg

He's a legit good recruiter, or even better than that, but he's not "recruit a top 10 class at CU" without spending 2022 Texas A&M level money.

There's a reason you develop and build depth.

He may be doing it on purpose and it works great when you have his son and Travis Hunter out there but stars and scrubs is TOUGH in real football. 

CU went 3-3 against teams in the FEI top 50 and 4-0 against teams outside the top 60 in it. They played one top 30 team and lost to them. They played no top 20 FEI teams. They did well BUT the schedule was super forgiving, they had no major injuries to sanders or hunter and IIRC overall were pretty healthy. 

Being an outlier is either going to work great or work out horrifically. No real inbetween. Again, there's a reason no other team in the country does it this way. Maybe he changes things up for CFB overall, but sure doesn't look like it?

Teams that don't have the deep pockets that UT does can't afford to build depth the traditional way anymore because of the portal and NIL. Where else is Arch Manning sitting on the bench making millions a year for 2 years? Nowhere outside of very few programs.

No, I'm saying that you have the resources to pay him millions to sit on the bench for 2 years. Not many schools can do that.

If he wasn't getting paid, he would leave.
