I would be shocked if it was in another role. All this dude has done in the last 35 years is coach O-lines, outside of a 7-year run as a HC in DII with a 57-21 record.

I think the issue is that every other team DOES do it. All the time. But Prime is the only one getting called out for it.
Hey, it's all gravy at this point. It's Prime's program and his son's future is largely in the hands of Lewis and O'Boyle, and they'll seemingly have the dudes, so whatever they want.

Not sure what this is in reference to, but I like it!
probably Jordan Hall.
OK, here me out. Is it not Rick George's job to hire, fire, not retain the previous staff?
Prime is coming to put Prime's stamp on this program. If Prime tells RG he is not interested in any of the former staff, then it is RG that has those meetings and informs those men.
good question. I don't know the actual org chart and whether football assistants report to the HC or direct to the AD.
Or Prime can just meet with them individually and tell them face to face like 99% of coaches in America do.
While I agree with you that I HOPE that's what would happen, it is now well established that Coach Prime doesn't care what 99% of coaches act like haha

WTF?
Howell is essentially being replaced here too. The BDC ran a daily article which was a big piece of the CU coverage for the past few years. The past several days have been a sensory overload of information coming from all directions and instantaneously.

I think its great we have a head coach who is more concerned with winning football games and graduating players than hurting people's feelings.
The outgoing staff will be paid through the end of 2023. Mike Sanford will be paid through 2024. They've also got plenty of time to search for new opportunities.
Let's move on.

I’m certain all the coaches went out and purchased new homes in October when Dorrell was fired.
C’mon guys. Most programs move on from assistants when there is a change, except one or two, and this is doubly true when you go 1-11. These assistants have been around the block.

Yeah that's why Brian has a twitter account.
Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but you can at least let them know face to face.

Exactly. This is what they signed up for as coaches. They know the deal. Elevated or Executed, or whatever Prime said.

Duff, is it not more RG's job than Prime? Deion has no obligation to tell those coaches anything unless he tells RG I would like to meet with some of them. I would agree that he could be a man and tell them face-to-face, but what would that look like?
"Hello Coach Sanford, come in, don't sit down, I watched some film on your offense, good luck, bye"
Knowing some of the coaches on the Embree staff, officially the same thing happened when that transition happened, only difference is after they were fired, some of them were able to re-interview for their jobs and get rehired back. Prime is just not hiring them back and not suger coating it. But technically the exact same thing happens every time.
Um, Prime said the assistant coaches weren’t returning on Sunday when a player asked the question.
I think Howell is misrepresenting what happened. It was reported that Prime met with each coach individually. Perhaps there was some speculation about which coaches were coming with him, but he is being deliberately misleading about "his favorite coaching staff to cover" finding out they weren't being retained via Twitter.
Sure, I agree. Be respectful. The fact the things were on social media first is how it goes sometimes. You have new coaches already offering prospects, tweeting, etc. Nature of the beast.
Same things happen to accounting, HR, IT when my org does a takeover. We are not keeping those groups. They know, and the severance package almost always leaks before we can sit down and do a face to face. The “real world” is so much more brutal than coaching world in my opinion.
I'm certain that they were seeing and hearing rumors, some of them on Twitter, before they got official word.
That unfortunately happens, and nothing can really be done to stop it.
I read anyone bitching about that as an expression of the negative emotions that come with losing your job rather than anything that should be taken seriously.
you mean, beyond what JR and I have been doing!
Not sure how sitting in traffic and patronizing taco trucks helps the buffs?

Sure it can. You meet with the coaches 1:1, or at least have a phone call, early on. Or call into that coaches staff meeting that supposedly happened Sunday morning. Undoubtedly Prime had his mind made up about this probably before he even said yes to the offer.
I believe when the question was asked, is answer was actually "Probably not"
I have CU plates on my car, so sitting in traffic helps CU. And patronizing taco trucks is never the wrong thing to do (until it is).

It's been strange how he's advocated for certain things during this search. First with Mendenhall and now the old staff. Seems like he's taking things more personally now for whatever reason. I'm sure he's tired of watching losing football like all of us, but Bronco and Sanford ain't it.
