January 24, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, royiv said: Totally agree and that's why I said I don't think Deion will ultimately generate a culture of winning. My post was intended to say that I don't think this appreciably hurts team morale and recruiting and may likely be net positive. Is it what puts together a winning team? I don't think so, but I could be surprised. Deion was never a team guy, his moving around to the highest bidder and having physical abilities that made him the best was his brand then, and it's his brand now. The look at me brand. It's fine when you're a magically gifted athlete. It can cause some issues in the locker room, but maybe not. I don't think it is a successful formula for a head coach. Even IF he was getting the best talent in the land, which he isn't, that doesn't win championships without a head coach who, while perhaps a douche bag, is about team. Saban did that, like or hate him, he did it it better than anyone. Maybe the game has changed enough that Deion's brand can win championships, but I'll believe it when I see it. First he needs to get the top talent in, $300 dinner won't get it done and CU won't generate the NIL. For the record, I'm 90% certain the day he doesn't have a child playing, he out of there as fast as he can find a new grift. That's on point for look at me, non-team brand.

January 24, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, Pam Cummings said: I think the issue is that the coach is spitting rhetoric about winning and he will cast aside losers, yet allows his sons to skip their first team meeting to do this. People that are serious about winning lead by example. The other players in that locker room see that as cool, not hypocritical. If they were serious about winning, they wouldn't be playing for Neon Deion.

In this case, I do feel some sadness for them. It's their choice, but do they know what they're actually buying. I don't know the answer.

January 25, 20241 yr Bull Goldberg talks for 8 minutes about how he is good friends with Prime and after Saban retired he called to get his kid a walk-on spot, and how it was all because of how hard his kid works not because he's his dad. Kid talks for about 30 seconds. Interview done in their garage/ gym/ custom car collection area. I'm sure he's a great kid but good lord dad, turn the page and let the kid have his moment Edited January 25, 20241 yr by Dennis Taylor
January 25, 20241 yr Here's a link that isn't just a VRBO ad. I like the part where Goldberg puts Deion in the category of Vince Dooley and Nick Saban with regard to "what he stands for". That playing for Sanders is a decision to shape the rest of your life in the same way. That's amazing. Little Goldberg, "Yeah so my dad called up the Colorado coaches..." *minutes later* Goldberg, "He hasn't leaned on me to do anything out of the ordinary in the recruiting process." Just tell the truth. "We're delusional celebrity types attracted to other delusional celebrity types!"
January 25, 20241 yr Deion entering the College game as Saban exits is the perfect metaphor for the current state of College Football. The ethos of those two coaches could not be more different.....ethos being defined as the character, sentiment or moral nature of something. Just a perfect description of the new college football climate vs the old. Transfers, tampering, mass roster turnover, NIL, 7/8 year guys playing in to their mid 20's... when was the last time any player was academically ineligible? Saban was the old way and now Deion epitomizes the new way.

Let's not canonize Saban, he was no Saint, though he was a team first coach. Make no mistake about that reality. The world has changed but the grift is now out in the open instead of via car dealerships in Alabama. That's the hitch, CU doesn't have car dealerships nor an Alumni base ready to toss in the big dollars, really big dollars, that the blue bloods have. Same game different execution.

Deion is a sideshow that is destined to failure due to lack of culture cultivation and a rejection of high school recruiting born out of laziness. Sark and Kirby Smart are the new way. Be at big money programs and rally the dollars while smartly assembling the right talent through hard work and evaluation. Then use the portal to fill in the gaps so you almost never have a down year and never have a very young inexperienced team.

That these kids think their identities are tied to a) their skill on the field and b) their ability to spend a crap ton of their money earned on a bunch of high fashion house clothing, is kind of sick and to lean into that feels predatory. I mean the richest man in the world, depending on the fiscal quarter and stock price, is the old French white guy who somehow convinced the world, from the poors to the upper middle class and rich, that a brown bag with LV stamped all over it was peak fashion. Good for him on the grift, I guess (and I fully admit to being part of the problem and acknowledge that my wife has a whole side closet dedicated to her half dozen Louis' purses, clutches, crossbodies, handbags and dustbags for the various seasons, etc.). these fools have been doing this long before Deion coached and pretty much before he was even a pro......his whole college career was predicated on flash and getting to the NFL to do more of it cRappers, ballas, playas.....they have been going fucking broke for 4 decades now they just do it "bigger" and go more broke and in bigger debt I am not saying that pro sports is run by saints (other than Jerry 🤣 ), but they have tried time and again to get programs in place to teach these dumb fucks how to manage money and they even have the "retirement" now.....but their shitty friends and relatives fuck them over as much or more than anyone with their dumb ass clothing brands, wing restaurants, bars and clubs, and other shitty investments and then there is the fact that many of them cannot keep their dick out of anything that moves and insist on raw dogging all of them and have no concept of fertility.....and their pullout game is oppositely as shitty as their on the field/court/studio game....and of course the popping bottles and making it rain hell some fashion brands have come under fire for trying to distance from some associations with flaunted wealth and buffoonish consumption of their products

March 14, 20241 yr Unique recruiting style. Quote In his first 14 months on the job as head football coach at Colorado, Deion Sanders has reeled in some of the top recruiting prospects in the nation, including offensive lineman Jordan Seaton and cornerback Cormani McClain. Records obtained by USA TODAY Sports also show he never even had to leave campus to seal the deal with them or any others. The university confirmed that "Coach Prime" has made no off-campus contacts with recruiting prospects since he was hired there in early December 2022. By contrast, former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh had 145 off-campus contacts with recruits or their family members from Dec. 1, 2022 until he left for an NFL job earlier this year, according to data obtained by USA TODAY Sports in public-records requests submitted to several universities. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian had 128 of these off-campus recruiting contacts since Dec. 1, 2022. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2024/03/14/deion-sanders-colorado-football-recruiting-no-home-visits/72952639007/
