Catchall Deion Sanders Thread

Yeah I think it was a sensible hire for a forgotten program like Colorado's. But scandal and lasting reputational damage is a big risk.

I believe GT had 3rd party overtures to Deion when we were firing clown but it lasted about a nanosecond. It certainly did not progress past there, but I'm sure intermediaries enquired given our location and situation. In the end there was no way Batt was going to be able to hire him regardless of the impact on our financials. What Colorado's facing now, how to get off the Deion bus is/was going to be an enormous spectacle. We just couldn't have back to back embarassments with our football program. Had to go conservative.

Let's review some CU football history. Since CU was gifted half of a national championship in 1990 with GT, I decided to start with 1991.

It looks like things really took a nose dive for CU after Gary Barnett left after the 2005 season.

From 1991-2005:
CU wins: 119
GT wins: 100

Seems like CU was way ahead of Tech during that period. 19% more wins.

That difference in win percentage is largely. due to the in-state rivalry games. Trade 16 uga games (3-13) for 16 games against CO State (13-3).

The remainder is Bill Lewis who was the second (!) worst coach in GT history.

We’ll call FSU/Neb a wash, although FSU was more consistent over that time period.
 
Colorado sold their soul for Deion Sanders. Theirs may not have been worth much to start with, but selling one's soul is always a terrible deal.

It will end in deep regret and a smoldering heap.

Not sure about that. How many of you all wanted to chew your arm off, vomit, etc early Sat/Sun morning when you woke up with an extra body in your bed? I'm sure quite a few did it more than once.

Yeah... a hail mary to get it to overtime and a fumble at the goal line by football powerhouse Baylor.

good coaches keep their teams in position to win so when öööö like this happens, it does more than make a blowout closer. I didn't want Coach Prime here, but I am glad to see him do well. Don't be a hater.

Not a hater. I don't like Deion Sanders but I don't have any particular disdain for him personally other than the "coaching" style of assembling his group of mercenaries at Colorado. It's a joke.

He is self serving exclusively to his own benefit and that of his family and very obviously doesn't give a crap about Colorado, college football in general, or anyone else in his program. He will drop Colorado just as quickly as he dropped Jackson State when it no longer serves his interest and he couldn't care less what happens to them after he leaves along side his sons.

What I am mystified by is how some here, apparently including yourself, will go to any length to hero worship a guy who is so obviously only in it for himself.

College football is now rapidly evolving into minor league professional sports and Neon Deion is the top clown at the front of this new circus. I guess there are a number here that are ok with that. I am not. This seems to be at the heart of most of the banter in this thread.

I expect his style of self serving "coaching" will fail and I am grateful he didn't bring his clown show to Tech.

the ncaa created the mercenary lifestyle, not Sanders. He is just mastering it.

No. Jock sniffers, hero worshipers and win at any cost boosters created it. The NCAA was just a small barrier keeping up the charade until it was rendered toothless.

College football as we thought we knew it is dead. Maybe it's been dead for a long time and the corpse has finally rotted enough to notice. Either way, Neon Deion is high stepping on its grave. Sign of the times. We have arrived at full Idiocracy.

41 passes, 8 sacks and a hail mary to tie it at the end of regulation against mighty Baylor.

Enjoy the öööö show I guess.

your disdain is misplaced. the ncaa is the real öööö show, but by all means, keep following the shiny object

So I'm supposed to root for Deion and his band of mercenaries and pretend this is good for college football? If Neon Deion is the new pinnacle of modern college football "coaching" and program building I think I'll put my time, attention and energy into something a little more genuine like... professional wrestling.

Whichever direction the disdain should go, the bottom line is college football is rapidly becoming a ööööing joke and Neon Deon is the Joker.

Let's see if the Joker gives him a call. Doubtful since he's probably out of there as soon as his son declares.
