I'm not sure if anyone here noticed or even felt the significance of Deion Sanders' Colorado football team win over the highly ranked TCU team. He is upsetting the norm of how things are done at the Div 1 level in football, from a coaching and player development standpoint. They didn't believe him when he was at JSU and they sure didn't believe him when he went over to Colorado. All they saw was a brash and flashy black man trying to do things at the "highest" level but now they fear he is taking over college football. Even after just 1 game....

Deion Sanders and Colorado after TCU upset

In reply to DukeStreet Colorado played one game and won, by doing so they have won as many games as they won all of last season--- a little aside, Sanders contract is $5.5 mil/year, his son, an assistant to him is making $3.8 mil/year….nepotism is real

In reply to DukeStreet

Swallows and summers.

In reply to birdseye
Nepotism is indeed real in big sports. Same for Bronny James and Arch Manning. All jokes aside tho, Shadeur Sanders may be the most talented of the three mentioned here. Def Heisman quality.

It is not one win bro, Prime has been consistence with his coaching.
I followed him from day 1, in his first coaching job, he brough his experience from a student athlete, to the job.
He got rid of a number of Me guys, even former student that were leaders
Below is a link to his teaching.

Correct, and by the way, it was Birdseye who mentioned the "one win" statement, not nick2020. I think a lot of folks still haven't realized the significance of what Deion has been doing so far and the implications/impact it will have for athletes and coaches who either have been toiling at the lower levels or denied access to sorely needed resources. He is using social media and his charisma to turn the establishment upside down and they just don't like it.

If he keeps winning, watch the flood gates open up with talent escaping through the portal to Colorado.

In reply to DukeStreet
My closest friend, who is a product of Gambling, did not like him leaving the Black College that he was coaching.
Some accuse him of being a sell out, because of the work he was doing.
Prime not only left that institution, he also took his sons with him.

In reply to openning

Yes, he was being accused by black and white at JCU and CO and even if/when he leaves CO, they will still ridicule him. He's prob lining himself up for an NFL job. Who knows. If he can do fairly well at CO, it will open the doors for other coaches toiling at the HBCUs, such as Eddie George and others. Sad to say that's what it will take but Prime is blazing his own path and he's looking out for his sons, even the oldest one (Deion Jr) running all the media and behind the scenes stuff. If Saban and Meyer can attract talent and monopolize it, then why not Prime?

This is bigger than what the accusers are accusing him of.
