Colorado going all out at practice


I am so glad we dodged this fuck. There's a dignified way to usher kids to the portal. Not knowing your player's names, belittling in meetings those that are remaining to get them to hopefully hate their life so much they leave, ignoring existing players.

I think back to Rhule's first non-announcement presser talking about for those kids trying to decide, he committed to sitting down with their film, evaluating them as a guy who was just in the NFL Draft rooms, and would tell them what NFL guys will be saying about them. Praised Garrett Nelson up and down, and Nelson had absolutely NOTHING to offer Matt Rhule.

Culture lingers long after players are gone. Colorado is fucked.

it's fine, they can always use that Pac-10 media money to rebuild if Prime fails

I'm actually more inclined to think Colorado has some success now that the media is piling on instead of fellating Deion.

I mean, screw CU with a thousand Ralphie penises, and everyone in Boulder can get buffalo AIDS, but SI is an inverse indicator almost on the level of Jim Cramer.
 
Seems like @slattimer 's favorite coach in the country seems to be in a hard spot in his new digs...From The Athletic:

"Travis Gray thought he had Sunday off. The day after Colorado football’s nationally televised, snowy spring game showcase, the offensive lineman was eating lunch at Olive Garden. He had a meeting with coach Deion Sanders scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday — until his phone buzzed with a text message from offensive line coach Bill O’Boyle.

That meeting had been moved up. It started in 30 minutes. An apologetic O’Boyle was waiting in the lobby of the team facility. As they made their way toward Sanders’ office, O’Boyle told him what was happening.

“He’s walking with me and said, ‘Hey buddy, you’re going to get cut today. I’m sorry to tell you this. I didn’t want you to hear it from Coach Prime. I wanted you to hear it from my mouth. I didn’t want to cut you, but we had to cut five offensive linemen, and you were the last one,’” Gray told The Athletic on Tuesday evening."

He's going to work for literal peanuts for Rhule next year after we fire Uncle Donny into the sun
 
Again, if I was a Colorado fan, I would be begging Deion to STFU. Even if I believed in his vision, trusted his portal strategy, all of that, I'd still just want him to STFU at this point.

Agreed.

I was one of the few on here that thought, "Hm maybe Deion wouldn't be a bad hire"

That was an incorrect thought. And want to warn people on here that I have thoughts like this sometimes so I should not be seen as a credible person.

That sucks. I wonder if Coach Prime requires his coaches to call him Coach Prime.

Would love O'Boyle if a spot opened up. Dude is top notch.
 
When it comes to being the head coach of a power 5 program, yes, this very much is his first rodeo.
He's not going to have the talent differential at Colorado with CU vs P5 that he had with JSU vs FCS.

Deion has a little Scotch Frost in him in that he is really just assuming the same things that worked for him at JSU will work at Colorado. Like Frost, I think Deion would have been better off taking a bigger job in FL or GA. I don't think Colorado is a good fit for what he's trying to do. It's actually kind of a challenge getting and keeping good players in Boulder. ESPN showing that snow at the spring game probably is not helping either.
 
It looks like CU is now releasing the practice film of guys exiting the program. Also sounds like the Carpenter kid is back tracking on his statement and says it’s not Primes fault…. Lol. What a shit show…. But still makes me wonder if Prime is tampering with rosters if he already knows what’s coming in.

You know kids have reached out and asked if they entered the portal if Colorado would take them

I guess similarly as it’s easier to breakup with your girlfriend when you already have somebody new lined up.
