I guess a flaw you need to own is repeatedly telling a man with more experience how to do his job.

I don't think it's as secular as one might perceive.

I do not imagine it would be much of an issue. Boulder has its own identity outside of the university and those who are most secular have easier and larger targets than a coach at a university they have no ties with. A larger issue that Prime solves is building a culture that is appealing and more familiar to recruits than the surrounding community.
I'm not religious at all, but if it's what drives someone to achieve and have a strong code on morality, ethics and empathy then it's all good. I don't think a secular audience really cares all that much. Not their truth, but that's very different than being bothered that it's someone else's truth.
Not to mention the fact that some believe he'll be on the Heisman watch list. He's not some undersized HS kid with one other P5 offer who is being handed the job from day one without proving he can play.
We sold our souls? What does that even mean? Was CU supposed to just let the football program go through 1-3 win seasons every year going forward? How anyone can have this mindset is beyond me

As s general rule I think sectarian infighting among religious zealots is more likely than secularists wading in to criticize someone's faith. So, I'd worry more about more traditional Christians being bothered by Deion belonging to a relatively newly formed, non-denominational church.
If there's mandatory team prayers and privileges being granted to religious players and staff, then the secular crowd will show up to complain
SIAP, but every person that is concerned about Coach Prime's first team meeting, should watch this....

Triple bad that CU is the first P5 to hire 3 consecutive black head coaches
Love it.
According to that Bammer from last night, Prime's just in this for Prime and nothing else
And now everyone is about to reap what they sowed.
I work with a diehard UT grad who is HUGE into following coaching changes and the transfer portal. Some nuggets from him earlier this week (this will sound familiar):
1) Prime is only about Prime - he doesn't care about the kids
2) He won't put in the time to be a successful HC at this level
3) You all better figure out your recruiting geography or this thing is going to be a disaster
4) Prime can't recruit Texas because of the Prime Academy scandal
5) He will either be a wild success or an abject failure - no middle ground
He knows there is a very real chance I will be his boss next year. I'm pretty sure that was him pulling his punches.
I'll check with him once recruiting/transfer season is done and our coaching staff is solidified.
I saw the remark too and thought it was ridiculous. The guy was referring to loosing the restrictions on transfer credits and that it went away from CU's academic character. Bunch of ignorant nonsense.
I don’t think there will be a problem unless Coach Prime says something stupid about the gay community. At this point I would be surprised if he did.

Yep, I'd be worried if he didn't have an ego. One, he's earned that. Two, name me one coach worth a damn that doesn't have an ego. I'm sure Nick Saban doesn't have one.

Who is this guy y'all are talking about, on 247 or something?

Very true, but Prime would make his son work for it anyway. I know you touched on that. He's got an old school persona for sure.
uh, yeah. Duh. He publicly shamed his other son on a nationally televised press conference for suggesting Coach Prime should stay at JSU. I don’t think he has a problem giving his kids the same business as he gives to his unrelated players.
I dunno where to put this but oh my, peak Aggie fanboys sharing their insider knowledge on Altitude sickness from this ski vacation to Colorado. I feel bad for the dudes with reasonable takes because this level of stupidity is amazing.

Who’s Dion Sanders?
The N stands for Knowledge... Obviously.
But that doesn't apply in this sport, so maybe aggie is right?
THE SEC COULD HAVE HAD HIM.....
Fortunately for us, we have a policy to look at Head Coaching Football Credentials and don't have a check mark on the application that asks your race.
You know that decision alone to hire Embree, Tucker, & Dorrell was the proverbial "foot in the door" to Coach Prime.
No matter what you think of our previous head coaches, they all deserved a shot here for what our goal was at the time (Dorrell followed PDS's naive rules).
They all have a hand (good also) in what is transpiring. I thank them all.
This is exactly what I was saying elsewhere. I just sort of translate what he says into terms that work for my worldview. I think the underlying intention of most all of what he says is admirable. I can go with that.
