Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

Yeah his golden geese flew the coup(Shedeur and Travis). This was to be expected by people who actually followed CFB. I think the big problem he had was that his biggest cheerleaders IRL didn’t have a clue about CFB, let alone sports. Deion thought that every year he could just hit the Portal and flip his entire team. That will never ever work. You don’t even get to know how a kid fits in your system, will he go to class, will he be a cancer to the locker room, etc
Not only that, but we've seen the past few years that the team that's been (mostly) together the longest has been the team to beat.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

thought he just needed a few years to get his recruits, then they'd be chasing championships? Turns out their best shot was the year he brought everyone over with him.

"His recruits" this year was a 14 player class with not a single player in the top 200 and only 1 in the top 300. Predictably the fake shine wore off very quickly there.

Yeah, he seemed to hit a real bump in his coaching road this season, i.e going 3-9, 1-8. I wonder if his medical issues contributed. Anyway a famous coach once said; "you are what your record says you are"; he is a 3-9 coach.

Nobody of substance wants to play for Deion any more. He's assembling a low level CUSA team through the portal this time around

2026 tOSU Special Teams Discussion

Would it, though? In 2025, he was:

6-7 from 20-29 (Fielding was 6-7, too)
7-8 from 30-39 (Fielding was 7-8, too)
7-8 from 40-49 (Fielding was 3-4 in 2025, but was 7-8 in 2024)
0-0 from 50+ (Fielding was 0-1)

He has a career-long of 50 made in 2024. Fielding has a career-long of 49 made in 2025z

He’s never missed a “very important kick” like Fielding has, but he’s also never had the opportunity to choke in a huge situation.

On paper, he’s basically the exact same player.

Chaz Coleman (DE Penn St., transfer to Tennessee)

I don’t think I realized he only had 1 sack and 8 tackles. Raw indeed.

Maybe he’s worth the money but maybe he’s not? You can’t pay out for a kid who’s a question mark.

If you are gonna swing big bags in the portal that should be saved for mostly proven experienced players. Of course all portal pickups carry their risks of not panning out at their new school but this is going to be one expensive flop if he never really develops into that potential you are hoping for here.
