Deion had his son and Travis' talent to hep him look good.
Sanders did make Colorado better, but like Schiano can't move their program from pretty good to very good
I won't knock him except to say, those that put him on a pedestal should realize its over time someone shows their greatness and not just in the beginning.
Deion Sanders might just be over-matched as a P-4 HC , but the hype he brought with him to Colorado did make the Buffalo into a nationwide college football fan favorite.
Despite how the team looks now, Sanders was a good hire, just now his time had passed and the Buffs need to bring in someone that could make Colorado into what they looked like they were becoming right after Deion went there to take the program. out of the dumpster

Come on, Stanford coming into the game was a team that was 1-4 and with a loss to FCS Sacamento State. Schiano loses, you wouldn't defend him, you'd nail him to a fvcking cross.
Nope, if Prime Time doesn't get is done he should get the axe.

Sander's problems have been health and media/cfb teams driving away recruits.
He was treated for a "high-grade, very high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer" last year.
The cancer was found during CT scans for his ongoing clotting issues (inherited) that caused toe and partial calf amputations
Recruits and families dont want to sign-on to that - Sanders is not long for this earth

A few years ago Sanders kept losing recruits because media and other cfb teams kept saying Sanders would leave with Shedeur which was never a possibility since DS actually loves Colorado. The NFL trying to hinder Shedeur's drafting didn't help either.

Health issues aside, it's on Sanders to have the answers to those claims. If he lost them, he didn't do a good enough job convincing the recruits and/or their parents. But you're ignoring the many missteps he's made along the way that have also impacted people wanting to suit up for him.

Now just come out and say you're pro-Deion. The NFL comment about Shedeur is comical. The kid did everything wrong in the pre-draft process and hasn't acquitted himself well thus far that he should have been a first round pick. Your play on the field determines who was right and the NFL scouting departments currently have the lead.

I think Greg and Coach Prime are kind of similar. Good at creating buzz and getting their programs out of a ditch, but they’re not good enough as coaches to get to the next level. Both got lucky with Hunter and Rice who lifted their programs beyond what the coaching warranted.

Same could be said about Greg in 2020. The right hire then, but it’s run its course.
