Hope it's not coach T-Rob. Guy has done a great job this season. Maybe it's Pete, please be Pete. But I really hope it's not Coach T-Rob.

I'd have to say no way is it Golding. Deon and Golding don't sound like a match to me.

I'd wager Trob wouldn't jump ship that quickly but you never know.

I know. Just hoping.

I can't think of anyone else on staff that be a good fit for deion than him. Charles Kelly maybe? I don't think so, plus I'd rather not lose him because he's out best recruiter on the team.

Sal? Headed to Denver for the week Sunday, I'll see if I can bring him back or leave him...depends on who it is and how much y'all can stash in my "Go fund me " site.

There's a lot of assistant coach movement potentially going on the the SEC right now, until some dust clears not much of it is in stone IMO. Odom for instance at Arkansas... he's on the move, but it depends if it will be for a HC spot or another DC spot (like maybe auburn). Some of these tend to act like dominoes when they fall. In re: to Bama, Golding has options. Roach and Svoboda will likely seek other jobs. Robinson and Kelly will be targeted by others (likely at least one of them by auburn as they want not only more auburn blood, but a Saban staffer).

Dust will settle in next few weeks.

Deion Sanders agrees to become next head football coach at Colorado

Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders will be moving on from the Tigers and taking the same job at Colorado. The news came via On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Saturday night following Jackson State’s 43-24 victory in the SWAC Championship game over Southern.
“Coach Deion “Prime” Sanders has officially announced he will be the next head coach at Colorado,” wrote Fawcett on Twitter. “Coach Prime went 27-5 in his head coaching tenure at Jackson St. and landed some of the nation’s top recruits. Has already begun recruiting staff and players to Colorado.”
Colorado officially announced the news shortly after reports broke of his Sanders’ hiring:

“Deion Sanders, known as “Prime Time” during his Hall of Fame playing career and has since transitioned into “Coach Prime,” has been named the 28th full-time head football coach at the University of Colorado, athletic director Rick George announced Saturday evening.”

Athletic director Rick George released the following statement on Sanders with the announcement:
“There were a number of highly qualified and impressive candidates interested in becoming the next head football coach at Colorado, but none of them had the pedigree, the knowledge and the ability to connect with student-athletes like Deion Sanders,” George said. “Not only will Coach Prime energize our fanbase, I’m confident that he will lead our program back to national prominence while leading a team of high quality and high character.”
This news comes after Deion Sanders previously confirmed that Colorado has offered him the job. However, there were reports that the Buffaloes weren’t the only team in on Sanders.
In three seasons at Jackson State, Sanders led the Tigers to a 27-5 record. That includes two conference championship seasons and appearances in the Celebration Bowl.
Deion Sanders landed at Jackson State in 2020, with his previous coaching experience coming at the high school level. He quickly turned Jackson State into a juggernaut among HBCU schools, largely through his ability to recruit.



The biggest name recruit that he was able to land while at Jackson State was Travis Hunter. A five-star recruit and the No. 2 overall prospect in the Class of 2022, Deion Sanders was able to flip him from Florida State.


Now, Sanders takes over a Colorado program in need of a major rebuild. Outside of the 2020 season, which was shortened due to the pandemic, the Buffaloes haven’t had a winning season since 2016.


This season, Colorado went 4-8 overall and 3-6 against Pac-12 opponents. Previous Buffaloes head coach Karl Dorrell was fired after the season. In two years at the helm of Colorado’s program, Dorrell had a record of 8-10 overall, which included a 6-7 mark in Pac-12 play.

Officially done...



Not sure how to feel about this one, weird fit aside. I'm not nearly as high on Deion as most, but he will recruit well and knows he needs a good veteran staff (*more on that in a second). My opinion of him is likely tainted from how I viewed him as a player... a great athlete, but a selfish dick and terrible teammate. I know he's matured some, but I personally wouldn't trust him, or want him, leading a power 5 team that I was a fan of. He could certainly prove me wrong in time, but this feels like a train that could derail at any moment. He's basically he exact opposite of a guy like DeMeco Ryans who always did everything the right way and demanded respect from a HS player, to a college player, to a pro player, to a coach. Deion skipped a few steps and it's hard (for me) to overlook that.

*Bama safety coach Charles Kelly is likely headed to Boulder to join his staff, which was referenced in the top post.

If it pertains to what I said about Kelly, then no. Technically he's not(yet) in terms of the rankings right now. But he's probably going to jump to first if he lands Russaw and Smith. He's their primary recruiter.

 

[ElephantStomp]

Congrats to Boulder and Coach. He’ll be able to build something there and pull recruits.

There’s deep deep pockets in Boulder. I work part time and in a PhD program at CU, he’s going to be able to do some damage at CU

Good hire for CU. That program was on life support, and Deon will give that entire program vitality.

No RISK for CU and a real chance of REWARD
