Most of the issues with this post have been pointed out. I agree that Prime shouldn’t be an NFL head coach. But there are plenty of other college teams that would gladly hire him if we didn’t get a deal done.No NFL team will ever hire Coach Prime, as no grown, professional men will ever be persuaded by his constant preaching, so I hope the Buffs didn’t take it up the ass in the contract negotiations.
I love Coach Prime, and he’s a great recruiter, but he’s mediocre, at best, when it comes to game day duties and it seems like we’re always massively underprepared when we get to the big games (Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, BYU).
Obviously, we’re much better than we’ve been, but that was with Travis and Shedeur. Coach Prime has a massive amount of room for improvement and him getting paid more than Saban will never allow him to seek that improvement (IMO).
If he can put up similar records with the Buffs without Travis and Shedeur, he’s definitely worth that money. Otherwise, he’s not.
Also it’s Rick George. Taking it up the ass in contract negotiations is the standard.
