Cliffs notes for someone who doesn’t want to watch 26 minutes of Coach Prime and Colorado football?
I won't watch the video but I will say that Colorado has lost a couple excellent prospects through the portal over the years. These are guys getting drafted and the latest is that big OT.

Of course, NU couldn't get any of these guys. I think all of this portal business is hurting us more than helping us at this point. For the resources we supposedly have, we pretty much suck at the portal.

When there isn’t a plan and good leadership, everything is going to be harder than it needs to be.

We live in an adapt or die world. What hurts us is putting 100 million into a guy who can't adapt properly, whether because he is terrible, burned out, or doesn't care. Trev decided to hire a guy from NFL who had some success in a pre-nil, portal world...that guy walked in with fake confidence because he had just been an embarrassment in the NFL and was just going to do what "worked" at Baylor and Temple. Trev made the decision and then immediately jumped ship, probably knowing that his career as an AD was tied to Rhule. Again, the extension is the biggest issue at this point because the hire was bad but extending until 2032 was worse.

Size might be an issue


That was kinda my take after watching them. Maybe it's just me but they seemed incredibly small. Even the lineman looked undersized. Defensive line actually looked pretty athletic though. Couple decent looking skill guys at WR and CB though.

There we have it. Rutgers and Maryland.

1-30 against ranked opponents
1-10 against Iowa
Lost six in a row to Minnesota

And Dannon gave Rhule an extension and raised donation requirements on the fans. Good stuff.
Not defending Rhule or Dannon, but it's worth noting, that longevity of failure you indicated is not all Rhule's. I'd hope we'd get rid of him long before those results. The next 1-2 years will be it if he's not improving our record.

Well when Rhule is winless against Iowa, Minnesota, and ranked opponents does it really matter?

May I never reach a point where I think that what Prime is wearing in those clips is cool.

We all become old (God willing), but there is no age at which that can be considered cool. He makes the way that my dad (RIP) dressed look cool.

Lmao...believe it or not the fact that its so "old" looking is why it'll come across as "cool" to some. NOBODY thinks they can pull that look off. If you or I do it we look like a complete idiot. Prime does it and he still has "swag" at almost 60 and only 8 toes or so.

I say this not jokingly even though it sounds like a joke 😂.

I don't think Rhule knew what he was getting into and wasn't prepared for it. Will he be given time to learn & adjust? I doubt it. Tom Osborne in the 70's and then the early 90's was the last coach who was afforded that privilege.
