Don't think Cal and Stanford are returning. UNLV makes sense because it covers the Vegas market. Expanding into the Texas market (UTSA) makes sense too.

I was about to say they should just package up all the nerds. The Big NERD Conference. They can solve formulas to go for 2.
Not a bad place to be. I’d happily go to any of those schools lol

Based on what? This whole experiment has been a massive flop. What’s to make anyone think that he would do better running and even bigger program in a super competitive recruiting area? He doesn’t even cultivate recruiting relationships with HS kids now

Based off the fact that his lone skills reside in marketing and sales and he would have a pretty good pitch. It would probably end horribly and not go well, but I wouldn't bet against him landing a bunch of five star recruits from Florida.
I get things are getting of the rails already in Boulder and it seems he's has no control really, but Colorado is a place I'm not sure anyone could really do a decent job at in 2024. It's why I thought he should have been a little more patient before taking the first P5 job that came across his lap.

There’s not “a bunch of 5 star recruits from Florida” each year. And you’ve gotta fight Miami, FSU, Bama, Georgia, Texas, Clemson, Ohio State, etc for them. He’s shown nothing but being able to win games in the SWAC with P5 kickbacks. This stuff sounds good on PlayStation, but Deion doesn’t know how to run a big time football program. And these kids want to get to the league. His celebrity isn’t enough to win over against the big time schools when he’s already gotten hyped up and fell flat on his face 2 years in a row. I hope Florida hires him
And again, he actively chooses not to visit HS kids and cultivate those relationships now. What sort of staff would even follow him to Florida after word has traveled around the industry of how much of disaster working for him is. You’ll inevitably be scapegoated like he did Sean Lewis, who was a highly regarded G5 coach, or stick around through toxicity of how poorly he treats people. He’s a Trump level scam artist.

Ignoring HS recruiting and slapping a team together through the portal is not going to lead to wins. And his team is really undisciplined, which is a reflection of his coaching.

I agree with all of this really, but you kind of hit my point on some level with the Trump comparison.There’s not “a bunch of 5 star recruits from Florida” each year. And you’ve gotta fight Miami, FSU, Bama, Georgia, Texas, Clemson, Ohio State, etc for them. He’s shown nothing but being able to win games in the SWAC with P5 kickbacks.

People will take a bullet for Trump regardless of how little he cares about them and disrespects them etc. because he has managed to tap into a zeitgeist where he represents something bigger than himself to the people who dogmatically follow him. Deion is kind of the same, and not everyone would sign up to play for him but enough would.
I don't think a UF type of program would ever hire him but I also think it's silly to pretend he doesn't have the ability to be a recruiting juggernaut with impressionable young people. There is a reason we are discussing him now and if we've learned anything from Trump, all publicity is good publicity.

Listen…if Lance Leipold can build KU back up from the depths of the toilet bowl that program was in Deion could have / or still could do the same for CU.
The problem with Prime was he had a massive ego to begin with and experienced success overnight by building his program via the Portal which everyone knew was not sustainable. Prime isn’t a Coach, he is a selling CEO but unfortunately he has surrounded himself with coaches who have zero college coaching experience and really no desire to hit the road and ‘croot to build the program for the long run.
Prime was never going to stay in CU long. In his mind he was going to turn CU around and then move on to another bigger job. Now, unless he turns it around CU might be his last stop in CFB.

It’s almost as if kids become a product of their environment where they grow up. Some of this **** y’all get stuck on is hysteircal.
And can’t even tell what’s fake/AI vs real now, but as long as it’s for the lulz it doesn’t matter.
You know posts are dumb when Nako isn’t laughing and piling on an anti-A&M post.

Yea, that’s not translating to the actual roster building for Deion though. The people who would take a bullet for him are online arguing for him
. Kids are impressionable but adults with nostalgia of Deion from the 90s are the cult here.

I think wherever he goes Deion will be able to attract a handful of talent if only because he’s a superstar and a great salesman. But as you and others have pointed out that isn’t roster building or sustained success.Yea, that’s not translating to the actual roster building for Deion though. The people who would take a bullet for him are online arguing for him
What Deion needs is to go somewhere with a foundation already built where all he has to do is show up and be a figurehead The right AD and president could make that happen but I’m not sure Scott Strickland is that guy.
