Deion Sanders (HC Colorado, Father of SubPrime)

It isn't that Deion may be a "con man". He reeks more of a vague "prosperity gospel" type preacher than anything else.

Colorado is a perennial bad team that plays a lot of other bad teams, so they can end up in some standard deviation of .500 each year. Prime brought in a crew of his former good team playing at a worse level, and got a few more wins than normal. Now those players are gone.

he has them right where they almost always have been for the last two decades.

2007: 6-7
2008: 5-7
2010: 5-7
2013: 4-8
2015: 4-9
2017: 5-7
2018: 5-7
2019: 5-7
2021: 4-8
2023: 4-8
2025: 3-7


that's 6 straight coaches that have them 4-8 / 5-7 pretty much every year with an occasional blip here and there each direction.

This is true

It is worth noting that Colorado split a national title in 1990, two years more recent than Notre Dame’s most recent title!

I wonder if Indiana steps back when Cignetti’s JMU guys run out of eligibility

What if the guy really is a good coach and the staff decides to stay with him? Urban was quoted saying, "Indiana is the best coached team I've seen." That's from a guy who knows Day and his staff.

Will that bring bodies to IU seems to be the question. That, and do they have the NIL support?

Cinci, betcha that UFM said what he said on Gameday (or whatever they call themselves) as they were in Indiana to cover the game. He's a talking head now, and says the 'right' things. PS, Deion sells the 'sizzle' instead of the steak, and believe his time has run out. Please recollect, Lee Corso (and Dinardo) did ten years at Indiana, and both teams had miserable W-L records, but they had the personality (more Corso than Dinardo) to charm the AD/President to keep them around.
