Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado

[GreenspointTexas 9987]

This is one of the more pathetic things ive seen from a football coach lately

[Funk Doctor Spock 13289]

Dude is close to 60 and calls himself "coach Prime". Anyone who expected better from him should be flogged. And his grandiose idea that his kid is going top 5 is the best part when he's probably not even a top 5 QB. 

The fail will be beautiful to watch.

[Hank_Hill 20060]

Imagine Sark shit talking a former player on twitter and then proceeding to argue with other Twitter posters about it. Imagine it.

So, where’s everyone that was sucking his dick when he was getting ready to take a p5 job?

I was higher than most here on his hire by Colorado and my bet in December '22 was 4 wins in '23, 7 wins in '24, and gone by '25. God will be calling him to a new place soon.

Feeling pretty good about it. Love the hire as an outsider wanting entertainment, and even if I was a Colorado fan I'd probably be grateful for some kind of show. But I'm not a Colorado fan, so whatever.

Regarding Deion violating the special sanctity of College Football and being a Classless Clown... don't care.

It’s not about violating the sanctity of college football that most of us are critical of. This is a sport where Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach found a lot of success for fucks sake. This is about pointing out shitty leadership and the giant red flags and leading indicators pointing to a football program steering off the cliff. The man has show no ability to develop talent or coach any kind of winning culture since he got there. 

He signs players and runs them off immediately. 73 new players this year of a fucking 85 man roster? His strategy is just sign and cut players and hope that maybe a few of them don’t suck. It’s going to blow up in his face if it hasn’t already. The fact that no one went to their spring game is another indicator his schtick might have already run its course there.

I don't think that kind of upward trajectory is going to pan out. Regardless, he'll probably be gone as soon as any type of better opportunity arises. With his sons gone after this year, there's no incentive to stay.

That being said, I hope they suck ass.

He is recruiting like someone who doesn’t plan on being there next year. He’s signing players out of the portal sight unseen then cutting them after they get on campus. He is just trying to patch together enough serviceable talent to showcase his son and that’s about it.

Read the thread, it's hyperbolic about the classlessness of Sanders and how his programs are just minutes away from total meltdown and failure. The "no one came to their spring game" thing is just one example of absolute blindness to reality, similar to the handwringing about dumping roster bread and Twitter decorum.

28k showed up in horrible weather (and paying higher prices) to watch a 4-8 team with a massive roster churn and a coach whose dance move has showing his ass to the world for the last 30 years. That's a fantastic number for Colorado even with perfect weather. They had 1100 show up in 2022.

Regarding our sanctimony and our hallowed coaching staff...

Here's what I give a shit about with Jeff Banks:
- Does he recruit good?
- Does his unit play good?
- Live boy/dead girl?
- Beating his wife?

Know what I don't give a fuck about? Doctor of Neighborhood and Pole Assassin

And there's Sark himself and his history.

- Is Colorado's program stronger today than it was before Deion took over?
- Do they have a more talented roster than they had before he took over?
- Are they bursting with crime and real scandal? (not fucking social media cancellation drama)
- Are they better on the field today than they were before he took over?

Perspective. It's not hard.

I negged you for bringing up Sark’s past problems as if they have anything to do with this topic. Even if it somehow did, it would go against the point you are trying to make. No one cares about perception or the personal behavior of a coach until it bleeds into how they coach and manage a program. Deion is a a shameless, self promoting whore and that’s not what has people pointing and laughing. It’s the complete and total mismanagement of his roster and culture  that people are seeing as signs that he is steering that program right to the cliff.

A P5 head coach lashing out at Twitter accounts with 20 followers is cutting edge innovation. Screen shotting a former player's stats with a crying laughing emoji is a revolutionary approach. He's a visionary. If you don't recognize this you're just a hater.

Sanders is playing to the media.  Just like others have done before.   The attention around him has brought Colorado from an afterthought to an interesting story to some and a circus to others.    His antics while childish and stupid are part of the circus entertainment and appeal to people who watch professional wrestling or arena football (or whatever the fuck iteration it is called now).

At the end of the day, the moment he doesn't have a child's football career to promote, he's gone.

Said that a ways back. He has zero interest in coaching college football and really isn't doing anything beyond promoting himself and hoping to find some players to promote his children.

That’s all fine; I think that it’s fair, however, to view some of the things you don’t care about as indicators that he’ll be unsuccessful at the things you do care about.

For example - an adult, an NFL Hall of Famer, and a coach in a position of power, deciding it is necessary to publicly belittle a former player. You may not care about the action itself, but what does it say about him? Are successful leaders typically that thin-skinned and petty? Is it really that easy to distract him?

You may say that no, one has nothing to do with the other, and that I’m nuts or dramatic. But these types of childish actions don’t give a lot of confidence that this is a serious person or that he has a lot of perspective. And they would thus give me concern if I were in any way invested in his ability to make that a winning program (similar to how Tom Herman’s ridiculous and childish taunting of the Missouri QB gave me concerns about his ability to succeed).

I’m not rooting for the guy to fail, but I don’t see why anyone would expect him to thrive. He constructs rosters in a way that has no track record of success and he is publicly childish. Somehow I’m not impressed.

agree with all that but to be fair, Colorado had long since run off the cliff before Deion got there.  In fact they had driven so far into the ditch that their admin decided the best way to get out was to turn to a grifter selling snake oil just for the spectacle.  But like all grifters, it's a sham.  He's selling a ponzi scheme with him and his son at the top.  Everyone with a brain knows that he's gone as soon as his son is off to the NFL (e.g. after this season) and "God will call him to a different path."  I don't care about that; if Colorado wants to whore themselves in that way go for it.  What's sad for me is him pulling desperate players out of the portal to essentially prop up his son.  

He doesn't give 2 shits about Travis Hunter or anyone else beyond how it can enrich his family.  Hunter will be fine on his talent alone but a lot of those other players aren't getting NIL, they were probably marginal P5 players at best that were lured in by the siren song of "playing for Dieon" only to realize once they got there that he doesn't know them, care at all about them, in fact they're just extras in his streaming reality show.  He'll pop in every so often and make an impassioned speech for the cameras to stream on YouTube about player accountability between trashing former players or complaining about his jewelry getting stolen.  It's sad for those players, they could have gone to a different/lower school and actually played on a real team vs. being part of the clown show.  OTOH, they're adults with agency and no one forced them to go there so it's on them too.

Exactly.  He may leave Colorado and quit coaching, but he isn't following his kids in the NFL.  He has shown zero actual coaching skills.  NFL teams don't need a promoter, and he's said in the past that he doesn't want to rise through the coaching ranks.  

[pyrohornIII 4846]

I really thought Sanders was going to use his popularity for a good thing when he started pushing the HBCU as a positive, and hopefully increasing their popularity which in turn would expand the opportunities for more athletes to get higher education.   

When he abandoned them as quickly as he did, it was obvious he was using them as a steppingstone to a bigger platform to promote his kids, himself or both.   That move just made him even more despicable to me.  

There is nothing gracious about this person.  I think of Jim Brown, Ali and others who put themselves in the line of fire for standing up for the civil rights of people of color.    All Sanders does is promote himself and his legacy, which is sad, considering how much good he could do if he wasn't so narcissistic.   Pretty much the opposite of Kaepernick. 

 

 

 

[Eskimohorn 5682]

With the current trajectory I’d pencil Shadeur in as a Cowboy.

Middle of the 1st or 3rd round depending Dax’s status.

Other Circus Destinations
Cleveland
Vegas
Arizona
Carolina

Based on Need
Rams
Giants

So thats 7 teams in the market, but I dont think serious organizations like the Rams or Giants (they try) want non-serious people at QB.

So that leaves five dysfunctional teams in various stages of QB uncertainty that likely will take a hard look and want a piece of the Sanders hype machine.

Its also possible and likely in the eval and interview process, the Sanders team will alienate these remaining franchises. Thats why I think Jerrah will get both Sanders kids.

Travis Hunter is an elite prospect. He will get drafted, then work will get done to separate him from Deion’s team or whatever it is.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13739]

The Buffs went 1-8 in conference the year before Deion and then he repeated that pathetic record. Deion has excuses why he couldn't win in the Pac12 but I'm sure the previous coach had his excuses as well.

This season will be about positioning Shedeur for the Heisman/high draft pick. Winning will be secondary and I hope Buff fans are ok with that.
