DEEP DIVE: Deion Sanders & Colorado Football | Where Things Stand in Boulder Today 

All i know is he made people pay attention to CU football again. Hell I forgot they even had a team the last decade.

Acting like 4-8 was a huge accomplishment is wild

Deion did not tell the NFL they would have to put him on lay a way. He told the Detroit Lions that. Just On3 and misinformation.

The OC and the Ol coach gave up in the middle of the season last year. This has been suggested in several interviews Prime and Shedeur have given.... At least 10 and 2 this Season

The hilarious thing is…Deion could’ve kept the team he had inherited, and they still would’ve won four games, which we’ve seen from plenty of other coaches, that teach players. The difference is he wants a bunch of little Deion Sanders, so that’s what he’s trying to find. But the same teams Deion played on had one Deion Sanders… And a bunch of regular guys like the ones that were on Colorado already. I said this before, and I’ll say it again… If everyone in the world was like Deion Sanders, this world would be absolute chaos. But back to the team he screwed up. He’s going for the transfer portal team, because that’s easier than coaching players up. He’s literally letting other coaches coach them up from other programs, Because he can’t coach players up. With the dismissal of 71 players when he first got to Colorado… And we’ve seen it again when he blamed every player that left, or every player that didn’t improve Colorado’s bad coaching in 2023.

Also, folks are forgetting that CP didn't talk on the field. He talked in press conferences & the news to build his brand & because he believed what he was saying he prepared to back it up on the field.

The Athletic was a hit piece on Deion as the Old Boy Network doesn’t like uppity black head football coaches adapting to the current model of college football. If The Athletic wanted to do a piece on the consequences of The Portal they would have covered under college football programs and players. They targeted Deion on purpose. In regard to the portal as of so far it seems to be working out. Jedd Fisc’s accomplishments at Arizona is the perfect benchmark. Fisch was brought in to resurrect a Wildcat program that lost 12 games straight. He went 1-11 in 2021, 5-7 in 2022 and 10-2 in 2023. Deion was brought in to a really, really, really bad 1-11 Buffs team. He used the first portal of Dec ‘22 and the Soring ‘23 portal and got better. The team went out and won 4-8, losing 6 games by a score or less. He’s now gone out and gotten better in the December ‘23 portal and has gotten better with the spring ‘24 portal. The core of the team has been together for a year now, they’ll have used the second year of the portal to address holes and fill out the 2 deep. What makes anyone think the Buffs won’t win more games this coming year? The PAC12 was a strong conference last year (2 teams in the Top 6 in the end of season rankings) and the Buffs move to a very competitive BIG12… but what makes anyone think the Buffs won’t improve on their record from last season. Buffs win 8 games this season. Deion will be outperforming Fisch’s accomplishments in his first two years. So, no… Deion isn’t getting preferential treatment… it’s called resurrecting a program. The two banning buffoons of this podcast have no sense of context.

I love Deion Sanders the player (I'm from Atlanta) i have a Deion Sanders braves jersey like i was really a fan fr, but this Coach Prime BS is corny in the sense you can't hold him accountable for nothing according to the fanboys. Deion doesn't get unfairly criticized from anything he didn't create. What do i mean by that ? Deion has always positioned himself as the coach that will turn that boys into men and care about them like these other coaches can't/don't which has been absolutely untrue he has more turnover on his roster than pretty much anybody in the country because it was never about developing young men its about winning (which they aren't and i don't foresee that happening in '24) just like every other coach at this level, his schtick is disingenuous and that whole trolling CFB players on Twitter was so childish no leader of any multi-million business should be doing that but the Neon Deion Nuthuggers refuse to hold him accountable to level its giving cult, and just like in Waco in '94 this operation is gonna burn to the ground.

Philip you’re totally wrong on the apples to oranges take. You’re talking about recruiting. There’s always been 3 avenues to recruiting in college, and still is, one is just easier to do now with the TP. 1 is high school recruiting. 2. Is the Transfer Portal. And 3 is JUCO. Now Fran is taking the HS recruiting route and getting the athletes and players he wants to form HIS team. He’s playing the long game. The traditional game. Develop the players to be how you want them to be or why you can see them to be. Now Deion is only using the TP it seems. The problem with that is the quality of player you’re getting and what prior teachings you’re getting out of it. You’re not getting Caleb Williams, Bo Nixes, and 4+ lineman and #1 starters from other teams from the TP. You’re typically getting the 3-4th string players or grad transfers with 1 year of eligibility remaining. And those players you’re getting from the TP only have 1-2 years of eligibility remaining typically so it’s not like you can develop them the way you want them to be. It also doesn’t allow enough time for the team go gel and get to truly know each other. Take the O Line for example. Your lineman have to learn not just the plays, the blocking scheme, their own footwork but also the lineman’s next to them’s footwork to make sure they don’t shift too far or set too far to the side or too far back and step on their ankles or feet. There’s so many nuances that come with each room that only being around the group for 1-2 years isn’t enough time. If Deion keeps with the TP route his cap is 6-6 simply because he’s getting the bronze and copper pieces from other teams 9/10 times and not the silver or even gold medals needed to take that next step.

Bro Deion played in the toughest conference in the nation! The PAC12 had 6 ranked teams

I Love Coach Prime, Beautiful Being.

Those who are not down with it are those of Deions age. You dont get it. Gen X don't believe in it even thoughfh we like Deion and high stepping it doesnt mean it belongs fir everyone or teaching/ influencing. It's breeding narcism and ego driven in sports. What say you homie?

How did Syracuse and USF win a bowl game last year if they played eachother. USF beat Syracuse 45-0 🤔

You are entitled to your opinion; however, doing something different doesn't mean that it's wrong. What you're saying is that you are upset at his recruiting style because you don't agree with it. Your opinion.

Andy is a Prime/Colorado hater… he got it from his parents so it’s a life long thing for him, it’s in his blood Dukes let Andy control the narrative by cutting him off and not allowing him to Finish his point 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dukes is a Deion fan, so how everyone else see’s Deion coaching prowess it will never resonate with people like Dukes.

Deion wants to recruit on his name only….doesn’t work like that. Especially in the NIL era.

How does music have anything to do with building a Football team?

Deion Sanders is the best to ever do it, That was a Baaad Boy.

I love how this guest made it about race and culture instead of a big mouth coach that can't back it up that's interesting

It’s borderline cringe at this point brothaz still defending Dion for the same reasons, giving the same examples. That was 2023, this is ‘24. disappointing stuff for the culture

Interesting in hearing your thoughts on that

And now running back, Rashad Amos has flipped his commitment from Colorado to Ole Miss. Why don’t you people leave Colorado alone until they are relevant?

Great video!

Colorado schedule was hell last year too

Good show

Why are you spending so much time on a 4-8 team? Why? Deion Sanders was a great athlete. He is a tremendous head football coach. The Colorado football program isn’t even as good as Vanderbilt. If you, the media, would give them the respect they deserve, we wouldn’t hear about them again until they have a winning record in 2027.

Well said I'm a krackr that couldn't stand prime time back when he was at FSWho but as times have changed and 3 grown kids I feel different now about Deion but I'm not pulling for any team but the ol mighty Gators

CU was 1-11 in 2022 but in all honesty should have been 0-12. As far as comparing 1-11 teams go, CU was by far and away the worst. You say CU has had too much portal churn in 2024, but he also say he has continued to upgrade the talent compared to what has left. Yet you believe he he will end up with 3-5 wins in 2024. I believe CU and Deion will have you and everyone else shaking their heads in disbelief. In what has Deion ever failed to excel? So why now.

It’s easy to draw attention, it’s hard to keep it. If they don’t perform they will just as quickly be forgotten again.

Some of yall are real hose riders...... deion is a good coach? I dont know. I swear if you took his name off the situation yall would have no opinion or on the hating cu side. Andy destroyed duke only cause duke was not willing to admit defeat. Duke tried to fight facts and lost left talking about apples

lol, I agree, boring means less press and exposure. Being in the spotlight brings extra attention. Both have pros and cons…nobody is immune to criticism…

CU was a worse 1-11 than NW & USF because they lost by an average of 20+ points. USF & NWs 1-11 team would've beat CU by 15 points +

I like people mentioning trash talking..Biggest I saw were Larry Bird..Tom Brady..Ali..Jordan..Deion but he only trash talked about the game he was going to play against you

Coach Prime is doing great on the recruits

All I wanna say to this guy being interviewed, that is in love with Deion Sanders… Is You can’t build a team if you keep breaking it up! You can’t build a culture if you keep breaking the team up!! And you can’t build quality players if they’re focused on everything else but football!!

Prime and Rick George locked IN there’s no other PWR5 coach locked in with their Boss/AD

Northwestern schedule was 59th in strength, USF wasn't ranked. Colorado had 5th hardest schedule and in the PAC-12. 4 wins in PAC-12 was not great, but better than expected.

Deion is the same as a player and a coach to the public! LMAO

No one hates Colorado. They hate how the players acted before games. Example: At Oregon. Then they went 4-8 and people still wanted to make excuses for Deion. They will suck again this year.

People are stupid for believing that Deion has no pressure to hurry up and win. If he loses this season it’s OVER. If people lose interest due to LOSSES, CU will move on because interest will.

I feel like y'all are not paying attention. Deon has HS recruits rollin in every week

As a 62 year old man who coached college football high school football and been an academic advisor for football none of you guys have a idea what coach Sanders does and what he did do he never talked trash in games so you guys are liars specially the good old boy he's a big liar

Andy is a clown for lying saying he knows Deion way is wrong & he's seen it fail when the transfer portal just started a few years ago so that's clearly a lie. FSU just went undefeated ACC champs using majority portal last few yrs. Brought FSU back over Clemson who doesn't use it. Verse Coleman Fiske Benson Wilson Travis Jones Bell Bethune all the stars transfers that just got drafted. Thats 9 out of 10 players drafted were transfers. Stop acting like it dont work when FSU just showed everybody it does

I like to listen to ppl who know know what the hell they're talking about... BYE💯

The interviewee was not prepared for this call! Go figure as he keeps backing up!

Keep making excuses for CU! This is why I love CU!

1-11 team was 5 wins the prior year...

CU will lose 2 of their first 4 games...Watch

I hate that people judge Coach prime after 1 FKN YEAR AS A HEAD COACH. ITS 1 YEAR. You talk about Nick Saban and Harbaugh, coaches who was given the time to actually ESTABLISH a got damn program and a team. The fact that people are being so stupidly critical of this coach after 1 year is just crazy. Prime wants to win and win NOW. He cannot do that with HIGH SCHOOL FKN PLAYERS. He needs to get talent and experience and win now and once he gets his program ESTABLISHED and off to the races after a few years , then he can add the inexperienced High school players to mix with veteran players. But you cannot win with a team with NO GOT DAMN EXPERIENCE. Who taught you idiots about football. I played running back and I know exactly what deion is doing it and why hes doing it . Understand football before you talk.

Assuming that he is not trying because he isn't doing it the way that you want him to is a weak take!

He said leash! lmao Now he is a victim? Now the interviewee does not know facts before the call! lmao

When they were won in 1111 he was not the head coach and again you see another young African-American person speak against coach Sanders because he wants to get media time with these good old boys real sad

They team won one game but how many did they lose the last three years that's what you look at hater

Bad analogy as an adult! SMH

The black dude is trying to convince the white dude to hate Deion as much as he does.🤣

CU is a 5-6 win team this season. Wake up this team is a damn joke! Everyone outside of Boulder knows that!

Nobody knows who Fran Brown is either.. he can walk in the mall and not 1 person speak to him… Deion can’t just show up to the hood and visit a players home and think it’s goin to be on the low 😂

After his kids go, he’s gone. His health and the man’s made it already. Nothing to prove. Why have a CU headache after his kids move on.

And just for balance I do agree that it’s perfectly fine to disagree with Dion is perfectly fine to hold him accountable. I’m on board for all of the criticism when it’s done in a spirit of being balanced.

Your parents were prejudice

They'd be a 10 win team so no 😂

Hey Andy how about you do some actual research & tell your fans about all the 4☆ & 5☆ freshman that have hit the portal over the last 2yrs with 3 & 4 yrs eligibility so you & your fanbase can stop acting like building through the portal can't be done

What is it that you don't understand about Deon not being able to do home visits. Deon would have to shut the block down just to do a home visit. Please stop speaking on things that you don't really understand or know about.

we talking about football and dude is bringing up mc hammer and baseball 😂😂 thats why nobody takes Colorado serious

Good points on Deion. What He is building will be unstoppable when it is finished. Oh and by the way Drake Won!!! Family Matters was 3 songs and The Heart pt 6 sealed it.

GBR 🌽🌽

Nobody likes to point out the fact that most of these 2025 recruits will be in the transfer portal next year. These kids don’t sit and wait. High School recruiting is the draft Transfer portal is free agency

Jeez this is so bad lol..

No deion can't separate deion the player from coach prime. If you know a lot of people don't believe in all the bs, than why are deion supporters so confused. This is no different than any other aspect of life, you seek attention, you get attention, good and bad. It's one thing when others pat you on the back, say good job. It's another to give yourself glory and accolades. Hell dumb ass rappers consistently brag about how much money they have, flaunt jewelry and cars then get robbed. I wonder why? Maybe it has something to do with the attention they bring on theirselves. Maybe! Then again maybe it's the child like behavior he exhibits every time you see him. Furthermore isn't coaching about teaching kids how to be better players and get the most out of their ability, also being a mentor and serve as a bridge for these young men transitioning into adult hood. I tend to think the backlash with deion is less about his ability to coach or teach because he does know the game and knows what it takes, but his antics. Self serving grandioso, look at me, I did this, I am that. Has never sat well historically. that's across all races,ethnicities, and nationalities. To sum it up some people are easy to root for, and some people are easy to root against ( ⬆️ Example above). No likes a person who takes all the credit for things that go right, but accepts no credit for the things that go wrong, no one likes the rich kid that's a spoiled brat, no one likes a loser, no one likes a liar. No Sir. Now Sit Down Be Humble

Transfer portal only been out about 3 seasons & already got 2 heismans about to be 3 straight when Shedeur or Travis wins this yr

4-8 talking shit! Typical...

INTERESTING !! Nobody wants to talk about Michigan NCAA RECRUITING VIOLATIONS but everybody wants to know about what Coach Prime is driving

You talked about two other teams that had records of 1/8 but won more games than Colorado, but what was their strength of schedule in comparison to Colorado’s?

You talked about two other teams that had records of 1/8 but won more games then Colorado, but what was their strength of schedule and comparison to Colorado’s?

Every once in awhile I am reminded of how stupid the average person really is. Those who ever thought Deion Sanders was anything more than a used car salesman, are a good example of that.

It’s interesting when you was making the compare between three teams that had a one and 11 season. There was no mention that CU average loss rate was 30 points!! Also when you look at CU being in a PAC 12 which was one of the most competitive divisions of all is a representation of the results. The climb up is much harder when you in the most competitive division and you inherit the team that lost on average by 30 points still difference between apples and oranges within the three teams that was 1-11

The Deion glazer got cooked when Northwestern and USF were brought up.

There are several channels. Well Off, Thee Pregame and Reach The People that are allowed on to the practice field and in to meeting rooms. We say they "Quit" not because we are mindless idiots that listen to what Prime says. We can literally watch them quit. Like when Benson went after David Conner........Guess who hit the portal? Come on Man....Give us a little bit of credit. This is literally the most chronicled team in college football, but for those of us that immerse ourselves in the content, somehow we are incapable of processing what we see everyday. It has to be we believe what we believe because Prime said it. You can watch and see on any of those channels who is about to hit the portal, not because Prime tells us what to believe.

Fact is this you guys know football CU definitely got better behind all the smoking mirrors he looks at the transfer portal as free agency and high school kids as the draft picks CU will be much better this year in Big 12 that is widely open

I am the same age as Deion and he has not grown up yet...I watched him at Fl St. and he da same...

Deion is gonna do a home visit with Juju Lewis thats the one idk if he gets him but thats the one that keeps this ship together.

pull of an in home visit? What every other coach does? WOW

SlimeTime is a joke of a coach. Total clown 🤡 show
