Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

Agree

Hypotheticals can be fun to discuss, but the reality is Deion is a big persona along with being a hall of fame player.

He is who he is, so discussing what he would be if he were someone else is futile.
This board runs on stupid and futile gestures because, well, we’re just the kind of guys to do it.

if you put tomatoes in a gumbo, you don’t get a vote.

Good thing I put tomatoes AND quinoa in a gumbo.

absolutely gets credit for it.
it worked like a charm.


slightly off topic, but Shaquille O’Neal is another.

when he was a student at LSU, he flunked a Business class because his business model was “not realistic”.

His business plan was to market himself as a basketball player and personality.

His professor said there was no way that would ever work in America and flunked him.


guess we know who was right in that scenario :slappy:
That's not exactly the whole story. Shaq's professor was fine with basketball player marketing himself, because by the time Shaq got to LSU, there were already shoes and major marketing campaigns for guys like Michael Jordan, Magic, Johnson, Larry Bird, and Dr J. His professor didn't think that a Center could be marketed to the public, as they were so big and wouldn't be relatable.

i saw all of Deion’s career.

hell, i played the same positions in High School (CB PR/KR).

trust me, you don’t make a film study on his technique.
his success was purely “be fastest dude on the field”.

if not for his persona, he’d be Darell Green.
great player.
deserving to be a Hall of Famer.

but ask kids today who he is, and you’ll get a whole lot of “who?” type responses.

I also played CB in HS, and my dad had a cup of coffee in the NFL in the mid 60's. He had me watching film on Deion, Green, Woodson, and a name that isn't mentioned much because his teams always sucked, Aeneas Williams. Deion was way more technical than you're giving him credit for. Being able to shutdown an entire side of the field is a skill, and it's not just because he was fast. But knowing that if all you do is play well, and you won't get recognition, and you won't get as much money as the guys who you're shutting down. Brilliant marketing strategy, and something he continued to use throughout life. Hence why we're talking about him now for getting a P5 job after only coaching at the FCS level for 2yrs. And also why so many talented players are now requesting to transfer or be recruited by Colorado. He's brought a buzz to 2 programs that have hardly been paid attention to in decades, and it's due to his persona, charisma and being Primetime

on the return side of things Dave Meggett was the film we got to see a lot.

No Eric Metcalf? You have injured me, sir.

It's not exactly the offseason, but it's prebowl season ... and we did think it was over for us just a few days ago.
And it is effectively over for LSU.
I used to watch all the bowl games, but with everyone opting out, their inconsequential nature, and life... I just can't be arsed anymore.




In other news, I still don't see this being the homerun that JSU was. CU is a career killer, regardless of hype.
And I have a feeling his shenanigans won't play well in fart-sniffing Boulder once the honeymoon period ends.
