No one is closer to JSU sports than Neely. Neely would have broken a story if there was one. Also, Prime is still on campus prepping for the celebration bowl. He got back yesterday.

Pretty sure plenty of people have said things about both Freeze and Riley.
I haven't seen it much nor did it make it on major news shows but Deion leaving JSU hit CNN. Freeze shouldn't even be working right now and he's coaching a P5. New Mexico St. beat his a$$ and no one says squat.
I’m sure that’s what Deion meant but he did not say that. I listened to the entire meeting and press conference. The media has every right to blow up because that’s what he said and implied. I’m not sure what your point is but there was plenty of coverage over Hugh Freeze.
His point is that he doesn’t want to acknowledge the coverage of Freeze because that does not fit his narrative. He also must see all criticism of Deion as being because he is black and no other reason. In reality, any coach that said what Deion said would be criticized by the people criticizing Deion and praised by those praising him. I just personally think it is dumb to name your son the starter without a competition and then try to walk it back by saying he will have to earn it. Also pretty dumb to say some positions are already taken care of. Obviously one position is CB with Travis Hunter, but he shouldn’t be given the job either.
Well, the news coming out is that JSU screwed Prime. They had a contract that said if they sold more the 30k at any game, he gets a cut. Well, they averaged 45k per game but only reported 28k so they wouldn't have to pay him. Prime was all in and did more for them and they welched on him. He even has a video talking about it months ago. There's other money that was owed to the football program that never got paid as well. Deion paid a lot more than half his salary to support those kids. He worked for free basically.
He worked. He didn't work the way they wanted but who's in the college HOF, pro HOF and played in a World Series? If he didn't have a work ethic and was ready to play, how does that happen? Also, look at all of the businesses and media work. Everyone that worked with him at the NFL network said they were amazed at how hard he worked so it is what it is. He worked his a$$ off at JSU and there is no doubt of that. He did more for that school in 2 years than any other HBCU coach did in 40.
Oh, it's out there. The P12 commmissioner is being dragged because he said there would be no expansion till after the new media deal, slated for Jan or Feb, which makes no sense. Not to mention the deal can't happen till the board rules in allowing UCLA to leave or not.
Can't build fast enough. I like that.
Not all that is true. He made over a million last year and will make over a million this year. He was saying ticketmaster was playing with the numbers of how many tickets they sold. They changed this year to JSU online ticket service. JSU actually came up with 3 million dollars to pay him to stay and he told them there was no amount money would get him to stay, because he had the P5 job. USF was a pawn to get UC to offer, and he wasn't looking for anything else. There is a lot of false narratives out there. He wanted to leave for thee 1st P5 job that would hire him. Not bad at that, he gained coaching experience and JSU gained finances and exposure. It was a partnership that both benefited from.
yeah, that rumor has been out. UC, UU, UA and ASU to the Big 12, and the PAC12 back fields with some MW teams
What's to talk about concerning MT? The program is a corpse on ice. J
He did his work on Sundays and that's well documented too. 2 rings with 2 teams, a gold jacket and a statue. He's also pretty much the best DB to play the game and there's plenty of documentation of that too.
My gut is still hurting from laughing at today’s fresh round of stories, memories and discussions of current events.
JT, well Neely is on payroll with Prime at Colorado. He is part of the video team....smh
I don't blame him. His JSU pregame show and HBCU gameday coverage was amazing. Prime is bringing him along and he will do wonders there. Social media content is the name of the game and Prime is connecting in a way that other coaches have never been able to do. Where is our social media content? There is no connection with our program and the fanbase. There is a reason the town has other crap to do than watch us play.
After 25yrs in retail grocery in all aspects from customer service, vendor management, contracts, sales route management, employee management, and now accounting, I can attest 100000% that a manager...ie coach...is only as good as the people he surrounds himself with.
LOL. I know I'm different in a lot of ways than I was when I was young. People evolve and change, sometimes for the better.
I think Colorado COULD be a sleeping giant. Good academics and the campus is gorgeous. I think Deion will get dudes in there. The staff he is assembling is impressive as well
He's 55 now. I'm 50. I know I'm much different than I was in my 20's. LOL. A whole lot different.
