Coach Prime / Buffs Football Social Media Thread

Fwiw, a black work friend talked to me about the Venables and anti- Prime stuff. He said that it often comes across to him as, "if we're going to let you work in the house instead of the fields, we expect you to act & talk a certain way and not draw attention to yourself."

Words to look out for are “loud”, “brash”, or “thinks only about himself”

On our 4th black head coach, that has to be unprecedented in D1/P5.

Places like NC, ALA, GA, FLA have declared war on blacks (and women and gays). FLA just decided to teach that slavery benefited the slaves by teaching them skills. Young athletes of conscience need to openly declare against these schools, and go to places that value all human life. Football is so important in those places, that it can influence politics.
People's lives are literally being destroyed and a lot of you folks are sleeping and saying, 'it's just kids playing sports'

George is the first athletic director in major college football history to hire three Black head coaches. In fact, Stanford is the only other FBS school to ever have at least three Black head coaches. In hiring Sanders, CU became the first FBS program to have four, including Jon Embree (2011-12), Mel Tucker (2019) and Karl Dorrell (2020-22).

Football: CU Buffs make history in hiring Deion Sanders

Rick George didn’t aim to make history and Deion Sanders wasn’t looking to be a part of history. Colorado’s new head coach is grateful to George, however, for repeatedly giving opportunities to Bla…

Please stop the BS! Universities are the bastion of liberal politics even in the states you are whining about.

Not a criticism of the S&C program but it seems that fans put far to much hope into them.

There are three parts to the success of a S&C program.

1. Is the program itself. Truth is that there are no secrets and nobody has a distinct advantage here, small differences yes but no there aren't magic S&C coaches.

2. Is the focus and effort put in by the players. Last few years it seemed that a lot of the players were going through the motions. They knew the team sucked and working hard wasn't going to change that. The top players knew that depth was so bad that they weren't going to lose their positions due to lack of effort in S&C or in practice. This element has turned 100% because Prime demands effort and has established a culture that makes it clear that if you don't work you won't be here

3. Is the quality of the athletes in the program. Recent years we have had a lot of guys who fell to us in recruiting because they were maxed out physically and that maxed out level was MWC level, not P5. Again it looks very much like Prime and his staff have brought in a lot of guys who have much higher ceilings. These are guys who come in as quality P5 athletes and aspire to leave CU as NFL level athletes.

Again not being critical, based on what I have seen and the rest of what Prime has done I'm sure that our S&C program is better than it was and likely one of the better ones in the PAC. Expecting our results though to look much better because of 2 and 3 above.

I think it was #3 cause nobody looked like they actually had room to get bigger
Pretty small team overall
