Prime is doing his job. He's having to build this up and it takes time. He had to get bodies in there to present with. This year, he will get more beef and serious depth in. I would kill to have Prime as our coach. Our corpse is about to get re-buried on national TV tonight yet again. 18 + years of rinse and repeat.And?
I agree. I was just thinking being able to beat us is not really a measure of success. Deion hasn’t accomplished enough yet to warrant the hype he has gotten though. Maybe he will eventually, but maybe he won’t. It is easier to bring in athletes than it is elite linemen. Everyone has athletes.Prime is doing his job. He's having to build this up and it takes time.

That's why he's been using the hype. To attract the beef. (big lineman on O and D) He's putting himeself out there. Love him or not, he's doing his job and getting the interest. I want to know of any first year P5 coach that is killing it right now. Freeze isn't. Rhule isn't. ASU's HC isn't nor Stanford's even though he got a great win. Northwestern's is losing. Purdue's is too. Prime is still 4-3. It will be interesting but we are talking about him on our board so Prime is winning in reality.I agree.

Exciting the fan base and increasing donations has been his best work.That's why he's been using the hype. To attract the beef. (big lineman on O and D) He's putting himeself out there.

I honestly think their OL is worse than ours. They had Cougars fall down, get back up, and still be able to get to Sanders.Oooops!!!!
56-14
I just wonder if Deions strategy to rebuild by big numbers through the portal every year will work. I think kids will get turned off from constantly looking over their shoulder at who is trying to take their job. Deion has been vocal about calling out his players mid year saying he will have to go get some new players. That’s not really building a TEAM. These are young kids and they’re first time away from home. No possible way I would recommend my kid play in that atmosphere. It seems like total chaos and a lack of my development of players on or off the field.I honestly think their OL is worse than ours.

Last night the issue though was their defense and special teams. Awful. It's obvious Deion went after skill players in the portal. He's gonna have to go get another 30 guys. I figured they'd be 7-5 or so. Nope.
problem is these are his hand picked players, you're not going to out athlete most P5 teams like he did at Jackson St. He ran off an oline that was young and only gave up 27 sacks ly to bring in his hand picked guys that have given up over 55 sacks with 2 games to go. I feel bad for his son taking all these hitsI just wonder if Deions strategy to rebuild by big numbers through the portal every year will work.

Give MT a season or two of good football / basketball & you’ll see the same thing here.Named 2023 SI sportsperson of the year, winning 4 games. You can’t ignore these stats. This is what a coach that isn’t a wet fish can do for a program.
Black or African American applications are up 80.6%; nonresident applications are up 29.8%; and international applications are up 38.4% from 97 countries, including 16 that didn’t have any applications last year.

Bump for 2024So I've been rounding up and pinning down interviews with guys in HS but also some dudes in the portal. Got me thinking about what Deion is doing in Boulder, purging basically that entire roster and infusing it with portal talent.
Thoughts on how he will do and how quickly they will rise to prominence. I say top 10 nationally by year three. I ultimately see him taking a job like Texas A and M, when it comes open...
NDSU is a solid team but to be fair they are not the NDSU that most people remember. They lost 4 games last year. They would win some games at the FBS level but they would likely be a middle of the road MAC team if they were put there right now. Colorado has a lot to worry about.They still are gonna have trouble keeping Shedur upright. NDSU could play FBS tomorrow but still, they aren't ehst the Buffs will be against in the B12. He is dynamic though. Zero doubt the dude is beyond talented.
I said it when he got the job, he isn’t the best with Xs and Os. At Jackson St he just had a far superior team and still lost the Celebration Bowl. The talent gap isn’t as big at this level as he had at the FCS level. I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.They will be lucky to win 2 more games this, they haven't improved or upgraded anything. NDSU just didn't have the DBs to run with Horn and Hunter. This is not the NDSU of old, Colorado just got lucky. Shedeur still holds on to the ball for too long and the offensive line still sucks and d line no pass rush. Deion will quit if the start losing and shut Shedeur down to get ready for the draft, what every NFL teams takes, is drafting a problem. He has never been coached by anyone but his daddy.
Agree. I want to see how he does without the stars he has, if he stays. If he wins, then good on him.Hell of a turnaround. For me the question will be if he can do it next year (if he stays) with Travis and Shedeur gone.
He did get a top QB recruit. A lot of it is the Deion effect but still. So far so good
I agree with that... Way too much from him players and him at times.I can’t and him or his shtick. Maybe a little more Coach Humility instead of Coach Prime???
I'm a 3rd generation born and raised Cowboys fan. THE biggest problem with them is Jerry Jones. And he is 100% dumb enough to bring in Deion. Talk about two of the same egos in one building. It would be a disaster.Agree. I want to see how he does without the stars he has, if he stays. If he wins, then good on him.
I did hear someone say he would be interested in the Cowboys, only if they drafted his son. Not sure how true that is.
