Sanders is worth every penny you pay him..
The Deion Sanders thread
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
Everybody should know that this is about program momentum and making Prime happy, it’s not about Shadeur being worthy of this or not. Is he possibly? Sure it could be in consideration but that’s not the goal here for CU
So over two seasons, Sanders led the team to a combined 13-12 record. They went to one bowl game and got smacked. Didn't appear in a conference title game. Sure, seems like the kind of resume that gets your number retired 4 months after you walk off the field.
Winning doesn't really matter. If he is making the university more money than he's costing them that's all that really matters. Now normally winning does that but Deion has figured out how to do that with a mediocre team. I don't think too many other guys could do that.
From what I've seen, Colorado desperately needs to work on their offensive line. That was a glaring issue to me.
Oline gets a lot of blame but Sheldeur refused to throw the ball away in obvious situations that called for it. He literally took sacks instead of incompletions. What a team player....
How? No idea but revenue is up since he got there.

Deion (while wearing a hat) told his players in a team meeting there will be no hats worn when they meet.

The program was dead pre prime. Think Iowa basketball. No energy, no passion. Prime is selling the stadium out and merch is flying out the doors.
I remember selling Chizik coins too. The style with little substance wore off fast. Colorado was much better last year, but I'd think they need another good season or the Deion schtick will wear thin.
Ticket prices under Prime went way up, and they are selling out. idont Know the exact amount, but it feels like 2x.
Could I get my # retired? My win % at CU is almost as good as Shedeur's.
That's neat and all but Prime has what maybe this year and next to make Colorado a conference contender? His act is gonna wear out if the results stay flat.
FWIW, the current AD isn't likely to do anything before he retires and he also signed Prime to an extension just recently. In reality, for good or bad, CU is likely stuck with Prime unless he decides to leave.
