Say what you want about TCU. The fact of the matter is that CU went 1-11 last year and the first game under Deion they beat a team that was in the playoffs last year.

That's my point. TCU being a fluke (making the title game isn't a fluke, but some will argue that) is almost irrelevant. Colorado was BAD. They've matched their last year win total in one game.

Deion has brought FCS to the FBS. More specifically, he has brought the HBCU "all offense, no defense" model to the PAC-12.

Against TCU. Who got thumped 65-7 by the FBS champion.

Color me not impressed. Neon / Freon Deion will win games. Over .500. But in the end. the only place he is going to take Colorado football to is mediocrity. And they could have gotten there for a lot cheaper than what they paid Deion.

He's a Hall of Fame player...a ****** tackler...a decent coach...a world class huckster...and like most things ESPN, all hat and no cattle.

I give him 3 years max at CU. During which time he will produce maybe a couple of minor bowl wins, and nothing else.

Go Vols.

Yeah, but no. By then, the Deion love will have worn off. Maybe not with ESPN, but with those who have a double-digit football IQ.

Much like his move from FSU to the NFL, his move from FCS to FBS will be a step up that he simply cannot make.

He will do good things at Colorado. Turn them into an 8-4 / 9-3 team. That is, with or without him, their ceiling.

It is what it is. No one is going to confuse CU for USC. Or USCe.

Go Vols.

He absolutely will be, and it won't matter if the hype has worn off. Going from 1-11 to 6-6 or 7-5 in a year will do it. Especially at a program that hasn't been relevant in decades.

That's the thing about it.

90% of those players are GONE.

So why do idiots keep using 1-11 Colorado in 2022 as a reason for them to suck in 2023?

THEY'RE NOT THE SAME TEAM lol.

I thought Hypnotoad and ESPN talking mediaots was all TCU needed to worm their way into another undeserved playoff berth? I guess Colorado will be the talking mediaots feel good story this year.

Nice job cherry-picking. For the record, here's my entire post:

Note the "good things at Colorado", and "8-4 / 9-3 team" points I made.

Of course, that doesn't fit your narrative, does it?

I'll stick with my opinion that it's a step up that he cannot make. He will do good things (pronounced "win") at CU. What he will not do is win a Natty. He's been a winner as a player at the college and NFL level. Top shelf, no doubt. And he's won at the FCS (HBCU) level as a coach. Note that he did not actually win an FCS NC. Nor will he win an NC at the FBS level. That's my prediction; those are my words; and I'll stick with them. I've seen this act before. We all have. Coach Prime is just the latest shiny toy in the ESPN / CFB soap opera. Did you watch his meeting with the old CU team? Riddle me this: do you remember, in your lifetime, ever seeing the media coverage like that of any new coach meeting his team for the first time?

Here's what you don't get: Coach Prime is not going to be satisfied being an 8-4 / 9-3 coach at the University of Colorado. This year, next year, and maybe one more. But if he doesn't win...or at least play for...a Natty at CU (and he won't), then once Shedeur and Shilo are gone...so is he. If not that year, then no more than one year after.

Coach Prime always has, and always will, need that limelight. And he won't be getting it in 2027 as the head coach at a 9-3 CU team.

Wait, what?

Wait and see. I'll be here for you to remind me if I'm wrong.

I'm not.

Go Vols.

And shame on you for being a lap dog for the ape, and not taking 30 seconds to go back and see what I actually said.

I already knew that. All you did was prove it to the rest of VN.

Go Vols.
