Can't take away his accomplishments on the field but bad things tend to happen to those with big mouths. Like in Sinatra's "My Way" Deion could back up his statements but people don't like the cocky type who are bound to rub people the wrong way.

Trump's a counter-puncher. Deion is not.

He’s not a good HC, and CU just gave him an extension with more $$$.

He is as responsible for his son tumbling in the draft as anyone else....i actually found myself rooting for him the first season at CU but when the roster is consistently turning over as it is with the Buffs, that is a big red flag...

If the news is bad the MSM will overplay the sympathy. Those he rubbed the wrong way will show their class and remain silent. People that show class pay a price while others undermine them.

The year before Deion? They finished 1-11. Two years later? 9-4.

terrific....they are in a garbage conference and had he not been such a bad HC they would’ve been playing for the B12 title last year...

A big part of the job of the HC is to recruit. Obviously, Deion can do that. Travis Hunter and his son, Shedeur Sanders were talented. Now that they're pro, Deion is going to have to recruit new players to replace them.

Too early to say, IMHO.

The medical team might be announcing that HC Deon sprained his neck wearing all that bling.

He recruited Hunter back at Jackson State. There has been MASSIVE turnover on their depth chart every season he’s been at the helm in large part because players are getting the hell out of CU- not due to large numbers leaving for the NFL.

He has the shtick recruiting them- developing them and making the correct game day decisions is another thing all together...

Deion can recruit. Since he's the HC, he's supposed to delegate other aspects of the football program to his assistant coaches.

2025 will be the "make or break" year for Deion.

LOL- that’s the excuse?? Its his assistant coaches why they are a subpar team in a subpar conference??

You really think Sanders doesn’t have the ability or power to overrule any of his assistants if he wants?? You really think his assistants would dare not follow exactly what Sanders wants done on game day???

We'll find out soon. 5-6 wins - he's a mediocre coach. More than that, he's a fairly decent coach.

Sure. Half the SEC teams would be also-rans in the Big 12. There should be more interleague play.
