Let’s talk Deion Sanders..

[RebelScrub]

Watching him lose was the best thing I’ve ever felt in my life.

I was so happy for BYU. If you’re gonna tithe, they will take care of you the rest of your life.

I’ve always hated Deion and his kid Shiloh. I don’t care about Shaddooh doh in the pros.

But let’s talk Commanders. I’m rooting for them just because Jimmy Carter passed away. Washington Commanders in the playoffs. My mortal enemy.

Jayden Daniels is one of the best rookie QBs I've seen. I still have a soft spot for the Commanders after my time living in DC.

A star in the making.

Dude that team has Zacheus as a RB. He’s the short guy in the Bible.

Dude I must submit the knee to Lori and Michael Yohay. Their team is on fire!!

bro best QB I Ever seen.

I hate BYU… but honestly loved seeing them smash Colorado.

I don’t necessarily hate Deion… I think he’s a tremendous marketer, but I mostly think all the hoopla around Colorado is just great marketing.

yeah, we paid 3x less for Odom, got way more in return unless your primary value on a coach is headlines.

And yeah, CU sucked the past couple of decades, but they have a much richer history, following and backing than UNLV. And CU had two top 5 NFL picks as team leaders.

Odom FTW vs Sanders in their two years.

Absolutely. That’s what I see. I don’t see him as a bad coach, per se …. He might be just fine …. Was one of the most fun players to watch play, too. But he’s really strong with marketing, so good that he was probably thinking up grandiose things since he was 14. He’s really polished with it.

I prefer substance over that.

Totally agree. I shouldn’t say “just marketing”, but it’s a lot that.

 

[UNLVINMD]

The giants will blow pick on Sanders, I see total flop on him
Colorado beat no one, total ESPN hype job. He can motivate and is good coach, he wants FSU job.

I hate skins with passion, Daniel's is very good, they are luckiest team in football, 4 games at home they should have lost but won. But F them with Reno. Lol

 

[rebswin2]

I’ve been to probably 10 games at Folsom Field, I’ve always been a CU fan but he makes it hard to root for him. He has done a good job there, but as noted above hasn’t beat a ranked team and in those games several were not even competitive.
In games they did win his stars were in at the end of the game where at most schools those players would have already had their helmets taken away.
His son that plays DB is a complete asshat. I was at the Oregon CU game last year where the kid was talking all kinds of shit pregame. Oregon won by about 60 and he left the game peeing blood. This week vs byu he was doing the Deion shuffle after tackles as they were getting blown out. I know when your brother and dad get all of the attention it’s easy to have little dick syndrome but this guy in unreal.

I don't have a problem with Sanders or Colorado, I just don't like the extra attention that they get. They are good, but not great. Last year they were mediocre or worse.

I know things don't work that way. Teams have intrigue beyond their actual merit. ESPN always talks way too much about the Cowboys even though they have been irrelevant from a football perspective for decades now. People watch when they are talked about, so they get extra attention. It bugs me but I understand it.

Colorado/Sanders kinda came out of nowhere in that regard. Which it is a bit more annoying. It isn't just the fact it is Deion because he used to be a player, Deion himself is out there marketing the crap out of his team and selling them hard. Overpromsing and being boisterous.

Almost completely opposite to Odom. He was boring and workmanlike in the media. But we got some attention from our play on the field (and Sluka unfortunately).

It seems like Mullen is a bit more boisterous. Using his connections to get on media as many ways as he can. He is no Deion, which I like, but he has a little more razzle dazzle than Odom.

The CU trips were always hilarious. Getting pulled over on the freeway wearing the unis we stole out of the Folsom Field ROTC office lol.

Odom FTW vs Sanders in their two years.

Only slightly and it’s the MW. Odom was 2-8 vs anyone in the top 50. Zero ranked wins, zero bowl wins, 0-3 vs Boise, 0-2 in championship games.

When the games mattered, it wasn’t good for Odom. Odom got lucky it was a poor coaching market and his agent told him it’s time to grab the bag.


That being said, we got a coach that’s better than both of them combined and has a track record of winning bowl games and winning games that matter.

Against much better coaching... Dan was HC when Saban was in his prime, Prime Les Miles, Ed O at LSU, Kirby Smart and Mark Richt... thats who you are coaching against and recruiting against and won 103 games... getting top 10 rankings and 7 Bowl wins including the Orange bowl

Dan is a little more aggressive as well.

Remember Odom in the Syracuse game, kneeing the ball with 3 timeouts and there was some clock left to attempt a FG? Defense was terribly gassed.

I remember that well.

And then he learned.

Tried to get better momentum vs Boise …. Got more aggressive. We throw a pick and it indeed changed the momentum and complexion.

Sometimes you guess wrong.

In regards to Sanders.

He was an excellent hire for CU. Injected some life into the program. Motivated boosters. Had a huge impact on attendance. CU's actually relevant for the first time in decades.

Obviously he can recruit and attract high end talent, which covers some of his shortcomings as a HC. I actually don't think he's an awful HC by any means, just not a difference maker when it comes to X's and Os from what I've seen.

Definitely worth the gamble CU took.

Easily a home run hire for CU at the time, and in retrospect a grand slam. There’s just been an outsized amount of hype that isn’t warranted… but that’s what he’s great at and good for them.

I feel sorry for the poor undergrad trainer who got designated to massage Deion's jacked up, bloated, cracked, corn laden hooves for hours per day in his office while he makes phone calls.

Its done wonders for their attendance and put them in the spotlight. Which in turn helps recruiting. Energized boosters etc.

Its the Howard Stern model.

50% of the people watching love the guy.
50% hate watch.

All you care about is that people are watching.
