Buff gear today!
Most other coaches weren’t multi-millionaire all-world athletes in their lives before coaching.
Plus, turns out MT kinda sucks.

Prime is going to make him look like a horse**** football coach.
Bowl eligibility next year isn't far fetched.
I love this photo so much. The man just led his team to a conference championship and saw the most unexpectedly amazing facilities for his new team in a 12 hour period. Joy and exhaustion.
There was something where someone, maybe on Gameday, where they called him “Deion”.
He responded with “you call coach Saban, “Nick”? I’m a head coach, you can call me Coach Sanders. Or Coach Prime.”
That’s paraphrasing, but that’s where that came from.
edit: here’s the story
Deion Sanders walks out of SWAC media day after a reporter calls him by his 1st name: ‘Treat me like Nick’ Saban
Jackson State football coach Deion Sanders walked out of the Southwestern Athletic Conference media day after a reporter twice called him by his first name. The Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback…

How many openings are there on the squad now? My guess is DS would like to bring in as many new players as possible. Does he encourage guys to transfer out?
My freshman year was 1966, so I've lived thru 55 years of CU sports. This is a great time in CU sports history.

Louis Vuitton Buffs Gear??!!
it isnt
Why? Extra practice for all his new CU coaches and players.
It’s not like he’s back to Jackson for the next 2 weeks focusing on that game. In all likelihood, he spends this whole week putting staff together, recruiting HS and portal and telling current players and commitments what’s what with respect to their status going forward.
You usually want a new coach focused on recruiting and putting together a staff. But this dude was doing that before wheels were even up out of Jackson. He seems like the kind of guy that can walk and chew gum at the same time (unlike some previous coaches).
plus he lost that game last year. Might want some revenge. Let him coach if he wants.
National stage to promote himself and CU.
More importantly, it sends a message about fulfilling your commitments and not only doesn't burn bridges but solidifies relationships vs skipping out on those kids and community. I also would not be surprised if he's supporting TC while letting him run the show as an audition for the JSU HC job.
It's all good.
P.S. What practice? Half the CU roster's turning over and many of the key guys are recovering from injury or even surgery right now.
It was kind of a joke. That he’s bringing the entire JSU staff and team with him, so essentially they would be getting extra practice…something the current CU team doesn’t get.
The current CU team will have a drastically different look by the time Prime comes here to work with them full time or all alarm bells should be ringing.
You know how there are sister cities and and different sponsor arrangements? I wonder if CU could do a sister program or sponsorship program with JSU to help keep them on the national stage. Might be seen a condescending. I don’t know, just something to make it not look like Coach Sanders bailed on them.
"Sorry, CSU, but you're kicked out of the family and we have a new little brother. JSU draws more fans to games and, frankly, is much cooler than you."

anybody know why the regents meeting this morning was rescheduled?
They’re all hungover.
Yeah. There aren’t many of us.
I'm sure it's been posted somewhere and it's not listed on cuffs.com but what time is the press conference? Thought I heard 1:30 pm today
maybe the reveal of cfp rankings.
Bomb threat from @Darth Snow
I've been thinking about this over the past week or so, but I think it would have been cool if CU announced an academic and/or athletic collaboration with Jackson State (or the larger HBCU community) as part of this transition. Aside from providing a PR shield for Deion moving away from a HBCU, it would seem if large university systems are committed to diversity and racial justice that we can find ways to collectively help each other grow.
I don't know if that would fly in the face of traditional HBCU values, but I still believe there are unexplored opportunities. Professor exchanges, collective research, graduate school admission support, etc.
Just spit ballin'.
Maybe but the AD is still under contract with Nike and didn’t have an option to do anything else until that changes
