First off, If there is anyone in Colorado who wants Prime gone they are really silent.
Secondly, Colorado is already trending on a 5 star QB flip.
Third this thread is a gem of crow pies. Colorado is developing players and fair or not the fact they will have quite a few guy drafted this year will only help.
They are a prime portal destination, pun intended. Against all rumors they have more than 3 players a lot more. They have 4 WR's that are likely to make NFL rosters one way or another and improved their draft stock. The same is true in their secondary. Colorados offense is not a man show against all rumors....Most of Shedurs 24TD were thrown to NOT Travis Hunter. Wester, Sheppard and Horn are all big threats. Horn and SHeppard will almost certainly be drafted and Wester likely a UDFA. Their Secondary has some players those who haven't followed wont know the names of.. but you know who has NFL scouts. Silmon-Craig, Hodge, Green. They also have some young guys coming up.
We are at the point where folks saying Prime is not a good coach are looking really dumb. Anyone saying he is destined for the hall of fame is also not in the right state of mind. He is the right coach in the right place at the right time. and he is proving he can do well there. From the Day he stepped on campus they have shown steady improvement. That cannot be argued. last year they got more wins and even their losses were VAST improvements over what Colorado had seen for the last DECADE.
Now they are legit contenders for a conference title. I would say they are 50/50 to make the championship game and they would throttle BYU... their biggest problem is Utah which is the remaining roadbump in their way. Utah just got robbed of a much-needed win against their rival BYU.. and with 3 games to play against three of the better teams in the Big 12 need two to make a bowl. Utah is on a down year but has a solid team.
No matter if they make the title game or not Prime has already put up the second best record at Colorado in the past 19 years. They are more likely to win 9 games than not. Since 2003 Colorado has won more than 6 games 3 times. 8 in 2004 7 in 2005 and 10 in 2016. Saying Prime has not turned around CU is like saying CJH didn't turn around UT.
