That crap has NO place here.

We are Tennessee fans. We debate, get angry, say crap, and everything in between.

However unless someone was racist…….keep that crap out of here!!!!

If someone is or says something racist, report it (we will all probably report it). Again if not keep that out of here.

I thought the exact opposite. He was calling out the players that aren’t giving their all. No more coasting. Time to cut the dead weight and resurrect the program. I personally think that he’ll kill it there.

I hope so. I've always kind of like Colorado. Kordell Stewart. Michael Westbrook. Rahsaan Salaam

It's only cringy for two reasons. One, in today's world folks don't get told the truth. Two, his color makes you feel cringy. I loved it. I love when kids and people are told the truth. They suck, he's not keeping the majority of that team anyways. He is being upfront and telling them that on day one.

No one cares that he’s black. That’s silly. He’s just a moron who won’t be around in 5 years there

Shine at what? Has he ever beaten a real program as a coach or just poor strapped FCs schools that have to share helmets and jockstraps

As far as things go, Colorado and Deion are perfect for each other right now.

From Colorado's perspective, they can't compete talent-wise with the P5 any more. Whether Deion can actually coach worth a crap is an open debate; he's mostly dominating with vastly superior talent right now. But if you're Colorado, talent is your biggest problem and Deion closes that gap. If it turns out he can coach worth a damn, all the better. You're willing to gamble, because there's probably not another coach in America that can bring you top 25 classes.

I don't think Deion would be nearly as good of a fit for somewhere like Auburn, where they can recruit top-talent anyway and they'd just be taking a chance on an unproven coach. Or even USF, which has such abundant talent nearby that they'd don't necessarily need a top-notch recruiter.

In some ways I liked the press conference and in some ways I didn't. I think if you're going to be that harsh, then do it in a closed door meeting which brings me to the repeated "I'm coming" one-liner. It just seems to be more about him. Then again it's classic Deion.

This level is much different than HBCU. Some of the speech wouldn't been recommended for players who are getting paid even if you plan to encourage many to hit the portal. He mentioned something about a list and I think that was tacky. You have to admit he was transparent if I have to put a positive spin on it.

It's classic Deion, and he's got us all right where he wants us. Half secretly hate him; half secretly admire him; and the other half take a wait and see approach. Math ain't my strong suit, but I just know I'm on to something here.

World-class athlete; world-class personality; successful HBCU FB coach. Anyone remember the last time that resume got someone a P5 HC gig?

Yeah, me neither. And yet here he is, and here we are...right where he wants us. Advantage Sanders.

I think UC made a mistake here. They went for the flashy guy driving the Corvette, when they would be better served in the long term with the guy in a cowboy hat driving the F250. Deion also made a mistake. He should have went for, or waited on, a gig at a G5 school in the south(east), where his personality and skills would be best suited. He could have, and should have IMO, stayed at Jackson State until the right job opened up for him. And it almost certainly would have in the next 2 seasons. Imagine Deion at Memphis, or Troy, or USF, or UCF, or NC State, or Va Tech, or La Tech. Lord help us all if he ended up in Texas with that talent base. Deion is a very smart man. But he overplayed his hand, and he won't be in Colorado in four years. Hold me to that prediction.

Prime Time will flame out in Mountain Time. He should have waited on the job that matched both his personality, and his skill set. Nick should have told him that when they were filming commercials together.

Go Vols.

He did say that, but do you actually believe that if you're a Colorado player?

I remember as a kid playing on sports teams with the father coaching a son, and the son always got preferential treatment, without exception. Maybe it's unavoidable when you're talking about middle school or high school teams and you're relying more on volunteers, but in big-time college football, that relationship rarely goes well.

The exception, I guess, is when it's like a 6th string walk-on / scout-team QB and everyone knows that. Son knows he's not going to win the job and he's just there having fun, helping his father out. But when it's actually a top QB, you know he's going to receive favoritism and it's going to have a negative impact.

My son would disagree with you 🤣. I make him cry once a game in 5-6 yr old coach pitch I’m so hard on him. Im sure he wishes someone else would coach him.

So…. I absolutely love boulder. I go all the time. I love the buffs
This was a media/leverage move. CU football has nothing going for it. People don’t even show. This was a move to shock the program. 2 5 stars already

The media only did so much for Kiffin

Right…so when he repeatedly suggested sweeping roster changes would take place, it was literally all style and no hard substance.

I frankly think his approach was somewhat tacky especially with the way he did it in front of the camera then started talking about it wasn't for television or something of the sort. It's one thing to have tough and real conversations but another to demean the kids while trying to be a one man infomercial because you played a weak schedule at the FCS level.

Also he is potentially admitting recruiting violations on camera when he admits he's bringing JSU players while he's a Colorado coach still coaching at JSU. Technically you can't recruit players still part of another program at least out loud.

He will always be blunt and he is not afraid to hurt feelings, but he is taking it a bit too far imo. You can say everything he said but it works a lot better if you balance it with some semblance of believing that they are capable of hitting his standard. The only part of all this that may blow up in his face is actinglike none of those guys are worth his time from the beginning. He may have to rebuild his whole team frkm scratch, which you can't do in one recruiting cycle.
