What I took away. Sounds like he is going to leave Jackson State in ruin. He's got the media attention angle down pat, but he will be jarring in Colorado culture. It's all about him, not them. 2 years. He either flies and moves up or gets run out of town.

I think he lasts three years, kills it, then goes home to Florida St. Mike Norvell is a good coach, but he ain’t returning FSU to the mountain top.

Deion got 5 star prospects to commit to an FCS HBCU. I don’t want to say his Christian preacher man persona is an act, because it isn’t. He lives that in his soul. I know because I worked with his team in 2000 back when he was a pastor at Columbus Christian Church. His style and blunt honesty works in recruiting and he’s going to lure stars to Boulder because of it.

CU is a dead end job like Rutgers. You better be sh hot to succeed there. Maybe he gets lucky in a dead conference without USC and UCLA... but i doubt it. Oregon and Utah will still run roughshod over them.

It's easy to do his schtick and succeed at an FCS school. He could get away with it and level up his HC skills at a mid major.
But now he's jumping in the deep end with an unloaded m240g weighing 20lbs.

And that's before we even get into the culture differences. CU is a lot like scUM with their high horse about academics, fart sniffing, arrogance, and maintaining an outward image.
How is that going to work with Deion' style? I don't see it.
I assume he wants the FSU job or something like that - and his personality is a great fit for his alma mater, but this will be a setback imo.

That would maybe work if he stayed in the South. But what 5* out of CA and TX are going to CU for Deion?
I dont think that plays out the same way.
And that's, again, before we get into culture and academics. There's a reason CU ran to the PAC, they very much fit that San Francisco mindset. They see themselves as an equal to Stanford academically... they may bend rules for blue chip recruits, but they don't want the image of bending the rules... same holier-than-thou game as scUM and Notre Dame.

Chatter about Brohm going back to Louisville.

No Big Ten team should lose a coach to the ACC. Each school is about to get like $75-100M/year with the new TV contract. That’s just one revenue stream - still have tickets, merch, ads, etc etc.

Can’t have a broke mindset now.

I agree with regard to losing a coach, but pawning off a coach on the ACC should still be acceptable and even encouraged.

He just landed a 5star from TX for 2025. And former 5star RB from Bama, Trey Sanders is openly requesting an offer from CU. He also hired the DL coach from aTm, Nick Williams who's a great recruiter
Not to mention he's bringing his son and Hunter with him to Boulder. Sanders will get talent. But what will he do with it when he no longer has more talent than teams he's facing. And he's facing teams with actual P5 talent as well, vs when he had a few P5 talent, playing teams with mostly D2 and D3 talent.

Eh, he's an alum. Gotta throw an asterisk on that one if he goes.
