One less possible job for Bronco

If Deion actually has “all these offers” I’m surprised Colorado is the one he wants

i also hope the buy out is big for Colorados sake. If he’s successful, I bet he jumps to a top P5 in under 2 years.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

ASU, thus far, hasn't expressed any interest in Bronco from what I've heard.

Not sure anyone would want to go back to work for a boss who just up and quit on them, leaving them to fend for themselves. Could be out of a job a year from now.

It could be the exact opposite. There are rumors circulating that he was told to fire defensive assistants and he quit rather than do it. I don't put much stock in them, but wouldn't be surprised if true.

Great idea by CU

Of course - by not firing the D assistant(s) -
he got EVERYBODY fired anyway, by virtue of him quitting.

So, bit of a Pyrrhic victory for Bronco there.

Still - we thank him for taking that stand, and sending Anae & Beck our way!

He will get players. There’s no doubt about that. Can he coach with the big dogs is the big question. But this is a home run hire by them bc he is going to have national media on him constantly

Will he get players though? He will have to hit the portal hard.

He will get players. And, he will bring players from Jackson St.

I anticipate a complete roster purge at CU if DS is hired.

You do realize he successfully signed a 5 star recruit to…. Jackson….. state

One player can make a difference there. It won't at Colorado he needs about 25 of those. That is asking a lot.

 

[orangenauburn]

They just hit a grand slam.

He will get talent in the program.

So after he leaves in two or three years the next guy will have pieces to work with.

 

[FasterCuse]

Will definitely be an interesting case study. Not to hard to out recruit your competition at Jackson State,but playing in the PAC may be a different story. I don't doubt he'll land a few big recruits, but it's going to take more than that to compete for championships.

[SUforme]

Woah I stand corrected. I thought he wouldn't leave a Florida climate for Colorado. Well one thing Deion always liked was money and he just scored some more win or lose.

If Norvell ever slips up, Deion is next in line.

Snow Bunnies are a hell of a recruiting tool.

And they have boosters who will pony up NIL money

Don't underestimate Prime and his charisma.

Day one his recruiting pitch will be guaranteed playing time to top prospects

On 2 47 they were 58th last year and 42nd this year so far. Expect that to move up for 2024

 

[Xanadu]

Big time QBs on the Portal, three Stanford OL transferring and two are from CO. Travis Hunter will almost certainly transfer to Colorado with Prime. This is going to seriously shake up the PAC-12

 

[Finwad32]

Full-Time… Prime Time… I wonder if there’s any part time DI coaches out there? Interesting words, I wonder if they say that because they’re not including interims…

 

[Faegan]

Deion is a home run... anyone that knows anything about past CU success understands that recruiting for the Buffs is about to go through the roof. I took classes at CU after graduation from SU. So excited!
