All will be revealed in time

Simple, shut up and play…Prove it on the field! 🏈

The only problem with Deion as a coach is eventually you have to….coach.

I’m a first time viewer and I just subscribed because I just loved your analysis of the “Colorado Experiment”. You are right on point. However the Experiment will be successful THIS SEASON because the whole thing is BUILT AROUND SHEDEUR BEING SUCCESSFUL! As long as he is protected and kept upright Colorado can compete with any program! HE’S JUST THAT GOOD, GREAT EVEN! That’s why the emphasis has been on beefing up the offensive linemen and bringing in great receivers, and running backs who can pass block! The big question that needs to be answered is: WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER SHEDEUR LEAVES? Will Coach Prime be able to replace Shedeur with another elite quarterback? Will Coach Prime stay at Colorado to begin program building and culture instead of a mercenary revolving door “program”? Can Coach Prime and his coaches mold and mesh together the transfers brought in into a team by September? STAY TUNED!!!

Prime bragged about his 2023 class (transfers and recruits) he added and then sent 61% of them packing. 😳

CP stated the transfer portal has turned into nfl free agency and that's exactly what we're seeing. Not just from coach prime but all over

Colorado fans are delusional… “The players leaving are nobody’s” “There’s just as many new guys transferring in” News flash: The guys transferring in are all nobody’s too!! They got almost 40 transfers coming in but I guarantee you that Deion would trade all of them plus Shilo for the 6-12 transfers that Ohio State or Alabama are bringing in 😭

When is max Olsen gonna do a piece about transfers from other schools?

Mark my words, these same people will call the schedule easy in November 😂

Deion just like any coach, was bought in to win games, immediately! Just because you’ve never seen it done this way, doesn’t mean it won’t work. It his opportunity to do so. Time will reveal all. Deion and Shadeur have only responded to what people have said, it’s fair game.

Prime was a great flashy player but he sure breaks his own arms patting himself on the back. He sure don't let let people forget how great he was.

Deon isn’t getting starters from other top colleges? He is basically trading non starters for non starters? Plug and play 😂

Players have been getting paid and cut for decades. Find your integrity.

Bold prediction: 2 win season for CU

Josh, Max's piece lacked balance. It’s why CU fans know he’s biased. He failed to reference the article he wrote on May 19, 2022, before CP became a Power 5 coach. That article accurately forecasted what would unfold in college football, a prediction later echoed by Lincoln Riley. To truly understand the context of the anger of CU fans and the biased report, I urge you and your audience to read that article. It's titled "In college football's next roster-flipping era, new rules will only ramp up the turnover," published on May 19, 2022. Please do not mislead your audience.

I'm a huge fan of deion Sanders I don't agree with everything that you said but I do think you were Fair so I'm definitely going to subscribe to your channel

The fans are more loyal than the players

That’s what they use to do in college. It’s tough but that’s what they’ll do in the NFL

What Josh doesn't fully appreciate is the deep hole Deon inherited. Essentially, Deon has transformed the Colorado program (BTW - its not an experiment) from miserable to competitive in less than two years. Sometimes making sausage is not pretty. Last thing, what Josh should be focusing on is Oregon. Specifically, how a program which has never done anything in college football is paying obscene amounts of Nike money to buy a championship team. Its essentially like unrestricted free agency without a salary cap.

crazy part is that if he does pull it off and wins big it’ll be the new college model

I think this method requires an excellent coaching staff with very well thought out schemes across all positions. If almost every kid is new then no time for much hand holding and pep talks.

Wait!!! Just 2 seasons ago was 1-11!!! They won 4 games with a trash OL and OC. I got time today and cash app. I’ll bet you 2k they make a bowl game. Put ur money where ur hate is!!

we will all find out in the fall

Prime never cut anyone, was brutal in telling them the truth on playing time or depth chart , Did n't do anything different then Lincoln Riley did.

Rumors are Colorado ad will fire him at end this year

Totally a hit piece. Max Olson and The Athletic didn’t do their job. If they are doing a story on the portal and the ramifications on players… Max would have submitted his story to his editor. His editor after reviewing would have said, so is Deion and the CU Buffs the only team doing this portal thing. And Max would have been obliged to say ‘no’ and his editor would have said, well let’s get a better picture of the implications and consequences of the portal, let’s talk to other players, coaches , teams . Max is a graduate of Nebraska, which part of me thinks is one of the reasons for this hit piece, but there is an element of the media targeting Deion. Let’s face it, old boys network don’t like Black Head Football Coaches.

North Dakota state is going to be a challenge for them week 1

Thank you for this. 100% my take. People mad at Deion for being soooooo far ahead of the game they don't understand this is now pro ball. If players want bags of money, its proball and the kid gloves have to come off.

you can let guys go and be cool about it

Players are leaving like crazy his son's are taking over team

Studies need to be made in the future about the insane phenomenon that is the cult that's developed around deion, especially now more so than ever before. this comment section is some prime evidence too

I think Prime is there to sell all his products and then all them clowns are lapping it up

Head Coach Sanders let his kids be "supermodels" instead of team leaders and going to the team meeting, instead posing in Paris.....Come on man

Yes the Colorado fans will come for you ,you act like Colorado coaching staff have been there for 5 yrs ,it’s there second yr there ,and yes they did miss on some players,some players left for their own reasons ,some left for more money ,some was run off,and it’s happening all over college football,but you are right Coach Prime is not hiding he wants the spotlight and he wants all the smoke,do I am wishing him all the best this up coming season.

@ 8:13👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I said it last yr when people were wondering what happened @ Oregon… They ran into an actual 🏈 program.. An actual 🏈 program with an actual 🏈 coach who knew how to bring the entire locker room together & motivate them through what was going happening the opponents locker room.. & man, did it unfold exactly how people who understand the difference between, 4 programs & the prep school/juco format…

I don't think anyone is upset at him for cutting anybody, they are disappointed about him showing his ass on twitter.

People are living in alternative reality. They will be horrible once again. Maybe he should go recruit instead of refusing too.

If you think for one second this years schedule is as tough as last year 's was, you are crazy. The Pac 12 was the strongest conference in the country last year. Next year will be the easiest schedule CU has had in at least 12 years. The Big 12 will not be as strong next year as the Pac 12 was last year, especially since OU and Texas are now gone. Of all the teams CU plays next year in the new Big 12, only Arizona St. and Utah have a winning record against Colorado, and of course those are former Pac 12 teams.

Gooooooooo Coach Prime!!!!!!!

Love your show thank you

The only reason for trying this "Experiment" is because he had his son's and Travis for 2 years... He's trying to get these guys everything in a rush because of their eligibility clock. Once they leave I can see Deion going back to building an actual program and developing the players he is recruiting. He has no base to build on if you constantly have your freshman leaving the program. You build a program with your recruiting and fill in the spots with transfers. You don't replace your recruits with the portal dudes. That's counter productive and neglecting your actual resources and talent that you are trying to do hard to bring in

They about to get aired out this year with another 4-8 record.

Thank you all for your consistent support in generating funds to rebuild Folsom Field. Keep the algorithm hot 😂

The transfer portal is nothing other than free agency. It's a big puzzle fit strategy. I don't see why so many people should be surprised about this. This is the reality of college football today.

So can you explain to me that if you had a team that was?1-11 the year before how long would it take you to take that team to 6+ wins, what would be your timeframe in accomplishing that feet Josh

Was it really cutthroat or was it that this was the first time we were invited inside to see it.

I am a very long-time fan of college football, Roll Tide. I'm sad to see the end of the Nick Saban era. In fact, apart from some track and field, college football is the only sport I watch now. But, now that it has become basically a semi-pro sport it seems as though it has completely disassociated itself from the college/university it was supposed to be associated with. I will wait until this coming season has played out and determine if I will still be a fan.

I could be wrong, but it seems like coach prime will be gone after next year or the year after. 6-6 or 7-5 at best next year.

Nearly a year ago, you did a quick read of a Coach Sanders’ tweet about folks needing to take a long, hard look at what was the result of NIL, open transfers, etc. He did not seem to be a fan of NCAA-sanctioned chaos, but he’a definitely playing by their profit-based NCAA-playbook rules!

If Colorado wins 6+ games then there's something to be said about what they're doing out there. Otherwise they're in the same class as any other below average big time program.

Josh, while I agree with most of what you stated, it is an experiment but a program just the same. It's not a traditional program in the way we are use to., traditional perennial powerhouse blue blood programs have always used their collective's to draw the highest rated recruits to their programs. I think the flash of Deion and what he's doing in Boulder is just bringing this out in the open. I'm sure other programs dump young men in the same manner its just not news because of the spotlight on Deion and Colorado at this time.

No matter how he packaged this video, this is a hit piece plain and simple. Josh Pate is the same as all the other haters. They all want Colorado to fail under the direction of Coach Prime. And the insult is blatant…”It’s an experiment not a program”. Miss me with the passive hate. smh

It is the second year wait and see

Josh you can explain away all the bs you want but nil isn’t affecting every player the 3rd string gaurd isn’t walking around with a 6 figure deal

If it isn't a "gotcha" piece why use Xavier Smith's quote and a picture of Deion, why not use all the guys that gave an interview or one of the other guys' quotes and picture of Deion? Additionally, the portal has been around for years, Deion used it one year, where are the articles for all those guys who have not been heard or didn't/don't have a voice? What about the 35+ guys in other programs who don't have a voice? If it was about giving them a voice why not do it last year before fall camp, after fall camp, during the season, end of the year, over the holidays, early in January, after CFP, why after/during the current portal period?

Josh, I believe that the first game in now on 8/29. If so, you should update your schedule graphic. Related to the Buffs' player turnover, I doubt Deion would push out players unless he thought he was replacing them with better talent. There is no sense in a break even talent turnover scenario. Only time will tell if he improves on a 4 win season.

Great video!

Talk about the young guys that he coming in they all not seniors that he bringing from the portal he got guys that are junior sophomore, and even freshman so let’s be real

Why Alabama kids don’t get interviews when they transfer out??

I’m BWB and I’m here to bookmark this video and comments Win Lose Or Draw! I want to know what everyone will be saying either way! Oh by the way… that’s Bandwagon Buff. At 8:00 the programs will have to play the mercenaries. What if the Mercenaries beet the programs? Will we say they got lucky and you need to see another year or will you suggest that the “Programs” start adopting some mercenaries? Something tells me if they win the goal post will move. I’m here for all the smoke!

Deion talked last year, remember "Do you believe me now" after one win LOL they ended up 4-8 and people are buying into theiir talk again.

If Colorado offerd me a scolarship and I signed they'd honor it weather deion liked it or not.

Counterpoint: I knew kids who got ROTC scholarships in college, then didn’t develop as students as well as expected. They lost their scholarships EVEN THOUGH they were still advancing towards their degrees and were in good standing at the university. It’s just a fact of life…don’t meet expectations, expect ramifications.

“Exclamate”?! Don’t you mean “exclaim”?

Prime never cut any of the players, he gave them a choice on staying or going , he was honest in what he was going to do bringing in his players, , please explain the 11 who stayed , STOP with the he was mean , USC had a huge turnover, and they were not 1 - 9 , dude last years schedule was the toughest in the country, This year's schedule not even close to being that tough, what a moron

If deon was white he would be considered a genius

Hitting the portal was prime choice. He wants to win now and has too. He cant rely on high-school recruiting. If colorado told him we will give u all the time u need then hit the high-school recruiting hard with some portal and develop and build.

Love it man!

Nobody had a problem with or was talking bout CU till deion got there y'all jus don't like deion n it's obvious but y'all hate for him is deeper than that it's giving...... Yk

no one, florida st. to name one of many, come on man, do ur research bro

Josh Pate, when will you do a deep dive and understand how many of those guys were walk ons?

Deon sanders playing a weak schedule this year hurting Colorado

Keep the same energy wen the week 12 josh cause that's total disrespect saying CU football is a experiment no a football program if you actually watch the RU-vid videos instead of a few clips they have a culture n good players but keep the same energy you been hating since the beginning

You are not looking at the bigger picture, dude! How long do “programs” get to develop to the point of winning? Are the support base and school authorities going to wait around for a “program” to be what you think it should be? Call it an “experiment” or whatever terminology you think is appropriate but the end, as they say, justifies the means. One thing that is certain is that whether it is a “program” or an “experiment,” you are going to watch them if not to see them fail, which would give credence to your expectation, to see them win and burst your presumptions! Deion is using a formula that has worked before to great success, so just hold on and admire what this “experiment” is about to produce. Deion embraces “experiments” because were it not for “experiments” we would still be traveling around on horses and buggies and adding numbers by counting our fingers and our toes. Watch how many “programs” would become “experiments” when the results of this one “experiment” become mind-blowing!

He’s the Lavar ball of college football.

The Athletic piece was a hit job on Deion as the Old Boy Network don’t like uppity Black Head Football Coaches. It wasnt journalism, it was manipulating players by The Athletic to cobble together their hit piece. If it was a piece on kids getting cut loose why not select multiple programs and do a comprehensive review? It was hit piece, The Athletic has an axe to grind. It’s not an experiment, it is a program that switched to the new current model of college football. Deion inherited a really, really, really bad 1-11 team. They got better after the December ‘22 portal, they got better after the Spring ‘23 portal and they went 4-8. Lost 6 games by a score or less in a good PAC 12. They get better after the Dec ‘23 portal and to date have gotten better after the Spring ‘24 portal. Which part, makes you not think they aren’t gonna be better this coming season? Buffs will win minimum 6 games this season (which would put them a year ahead of Jedd Fisch and what he accomplished at Arizona’s season 2, after he inherited a 1-11 Wildcat program. Which most people, rightfully credited Jedd for turning that program around. Deion, is gonna accomplish it faster by adapting to the new reality of college football faster than most coaches. Look for the Buffs to begin recruiting more preps in the years to come but the cupboard was bare and Deion played the game correctly on how to turn a program around in the quickest manner. Love it or hate it. It’s not an experiment, if it is, then the portal is an experiment is as well. My prediction is the Buffs win 8 games and exceed everyone’s predictions and even then, they will find something wrong with Deion and the Buffs. PS. Josh. CU is a program. Come check out Heisman Trophy, National Championship or Big 12!Championship Trophies. Thjnk you’ll like Boulder; nice people, blue skies, mountain majesty and some good food.

To all Deion Sanders haters he didn’t cut them players they was scared of competition and don’t want to be held accountable and want to be babied

It hasn't worked yet.

Speaker Series in Colorado 👀

Seems the cost of recruiting and signing 1 year players, just isn't cost effective.

If Colorado wins next year, they will have earned the right to be talked about. If they lose, though, I hope the talk is less.

The players cut themselves.

I dont think the question is, s it right, but it's whether is this sustainable. To win a national championship off of a revolving roster is going to be HARD, your guys dont know eachother, they dont know they playbooks in and out, they have to adjust to culture, no matter who you are if you are consistently replacing half of your roster every post season, how can you expect to take the next step? You arent developing players as you're getting them halfway if not fully developed from the portal, You're not recruiting well enough to have a sustainable roster with longevity in the back half of the season (10 guys a class should be unacceptable) We saw it last year they lost travjs, shedeur, and shiloh all at different points and there was a HUGE drop off from the next man up. This strategy will only win you 7 games max in my honest, unbiased opinion. When you run up against the Utahs, Kansas States, Oklahoma States, etc its gonna be tough to win.

We’ll see. My guess is no

`nope!

Its a lot of racial steam being let off in these comments

❤❤ Now that "kids" are being paid, NCAA is like an EMPLOYER with an HR department. Kids are learning real world lessons right out of the gate now.. Prime is on a mission..ya'll better Man up!

Being a bad team and still doing everything you can do to make teams circle you on their schedule anyway... Bold strategy. CU wins 3 this year.

it was a direct hit piece. everybody knows it

So… the 1 win team was a “real program” bc they had “culture” right?? We can agree to disagree too, but you should put it on the line too. How many games do you predict they win next year? How many games do they have to win, for this “experiment” to be a success? And if it is a success, by your own standard, are you willing to admit it? I’ll be the first to congratulate you if you are right.

Shiiiiiiiiii they lucky if they beat north dakota state lol

Comments should be filled with Deion hate from people that hate him and yet comment anyway. Ive never aeen so many weirdos hate on someone and go out of their ways to do it😂

3-9 this year. Deion isn’t building the offensive and defensive line. That’s how you win football

Everyone has an opinion about others and how they go about their business. Most anti Deon and the Colorado Buffalo's critis are those who are irritated by his confidence and flamboyant style of coaching. I wasn't particularly a fan of Nick Saban's way of coaching. Stack your team with 4-5 star athletes, then act like you are the best coach to ever field a team. A Jr. high school girl's volleyball headcoach could be successful with that amount of quality talent to organize. I say organize because how much real coaching is needed with players who arrive already 80% effective. It's true it all boils down to win and loses when the shooting starts. But let's keep in mind that Coach Prime has only been a college headcoach for three years and only one at the power five level with one pending. Nick Saban had over twenty years to establish his elite record in coaching. Coach Prime isn't Nick Saban. He's Coach Prime. And he does things his way, win or lose. Yes, he did bring in 72 new players his first year, and other's have left and others have came since then. His starting point was a team of athletes who went 1-11. And of the seventy-two who left. How many of those players have you heard of doing anything dynamic or mediocre at best on their new teams. Even Deon can't pick up 72 4-5 star athletes in one gathering just because he's Deon Sanders. But whether you like his style or not ,time will tell if it's successful or not. Rome wasn't built in a day,and a championship team isn't built in one season. Let's wait and see !

I mean, here’s my take let’s not sit here and act like they got smashed the entire season. Did they lose yes but besides Oregon and the Utah game, everything else was down to the wire so that tells me that you add a couple of more pieces you could actually put this “experiment “together😂😂 I think that because college football use to and I put emphasis on used to be a traditional sport and to be honest Deion is more of a traditional type guy he doesn’t care for the NIL as well as Nick Saban or anybody else, but this is the day and age we live in I think that they’ll be fine. There has been other the, other coaches that have been in power 5 programs that have done worse

Good coaches bring players to their max potential. Deion isnt a good coach. He only wants tonsurround his kids with talent so they look good on NFL film

The Athletic and Max Olsen don't have the courage to do this to a Michigan Ohio State Alabama or University of Texas. Corrupt journalism?

Been traveling around the sun a while and I have never seen any organization with that kind of turnover build long term excellence. If this continues at Colorado, I would be surprised to see Deion sustain winning seasons. We will see...wish him but mostly those he leaves in the wake the best. Suspect all may end up drowning....

Why r you guys so concern about a team that won 4 games didn't make a bowl game please tell me.Michican won it all there never mention Prime got all eyes on the Buffs there's a reason Hate good things is u haters will pack a stadium to see them lose...n please tell why he's the coach u love to hate just like Mohammed Ali but he still...I'm out true Prime Solider
