Germanshepherd Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I think teams will try, but likely fail at replicating the Deion strategy. Kids think Deion Sanders is cool, know his mentality due to his masterful media skills and want to play for him. He was pulling five stars to Jackson State. Nobody else could do that. Texas State took in the second-most transfers, and are now struggling with the team on the nation’s longest losing streak, Nevada. (However, they did beat Baylor) Teams will try, but I’d need to see multiple people who aren’t the one-of-a-kind Deion pull it off to say that will be the norm instead of the tried and true old school rebuild. 1 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting the key ingredient to this formula - money. Colorado didn't get all those new players solely because Coach Prime is cool.

But Colorado’s not sniffing its current NIL fund if Deion wasn’t cool. 1 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Colorado needed this loss to be honest. Get rid of the media hype and bandwagon and focus on football100%. USC next. Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we just interpreted the prompt “changed cfb forever” differently. The big programs can absolutely portal pluck at insane rates, and Deion has opened the door for teams at that level. But for programs at Colorado’s level and under, you’d need a lightning in a bottle coach to play that way. 1 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I mentioned this earlier, but the NCAA changed the initial counter rules. You used to only be able to bring in 25 players (with some exceptions), and this year there was no limit. However, I think the rule was only for two years to account for the extra Covid eligibility year. So it's not like Deion had some novel idea to completely overhaul the team, it just wasn't possible. This guy gets way more credit than he deserves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy gets way more credit than he deserves. No one said Deion had some novel idea. He used the rules in place to Colorado's advantage. That aside, I just don't understand all the hate Deion is getting. He's the same guy he was when he was playing in the NFL. Was he supposed to change his personality because he entered the hallowed halls of football coaching? If given the choice right now between buttoned up, says the right things the right way, Ryan Day or Deion Sanders as HC of Ohio State, I'm taking Coach Prime all day long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do But besides that, he's trying something different (for someone that doesn't look like Chip Kelly) and instead of trying to teach a team to be humble and measured, to have confidence in themselves, expect to win, know they're talented, and not hide it. It's different, and some people are afraid of things that are different. He said this after the game - "our confidence offends their insecurity." He's not wrong. 6 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
