Wonder if we'll still consider him to replace CNS whenever he retires...

 

[4Q Basket Case]

Staying classy implies that class existed in the first place. Not the case here.

NFL embraced the ghetto culture back in the nineties with sports media doing the same shortly afterwards. The way sports media started covering college football from recruiting onwards helped bring this to the college level, especially ESPN encouraging recruits to act like clowns in front of the camera. Sanders is absolutely part of the problem, but this is unfortunately filtered down to high school.
The only way I see this genie going back in the bottle is when virtually every rookie coming into the league is uncoachable, talented coaches deciding it‘s not worth it and eventually the inmates are running the asylum. ESPN will love it because of the entertainment value, but lots of fans might not. I never thought I’d get tired of football, but I got sick of the NFL years ago and honestly I’m about done with college as it’s start to circle the toilet.

I now hope that his son drops like a rock in the NFL draft. He probably won't, but I hope he does.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Man, how awful. I was very wrong about him.

 

[Bama9001]

What will Colorado do for a football team when Deion runs out of sons? Really hard to take CU seriously at this point.

 

[GrayTide]

I would like to give my unvarnished opinion on this, but will just say "No Comment".

I was going to post something like "Hummm, ESPN, why bother clicking!!!!". But, I did click the link, read the article, and now wished I had trusted my gut...

Fellow Tide Fans, don't waste your time. Far more productive to watch paint dry!!!

 

[tusks_n_raider]

He's one of the best CB's of All-Time and was a Pretty Good MLB player too.

HC?

Definitely not ready for Prime Time.

Even as low as CO is right now in CFB I can't imagine them putting up with his antics for much longer.

 

[2003TIDE]

Man, how awful. I was very wrong about him.

Don't feel bad. A lot of people were wrong based on the threads on him when they beat a bunch of nobodies at the beginning of last season. I blame TCU(the same TCU that got boat raced by UGA the prior bowl season.)

I should dig up some of those posts for a good laugh.

I was more wrong about how he'd work out in major college football. I thought he had more thoughtfulness behind the talk. But he clearly doesn't really. He's hurting his team with this stuff now.

I didn't really expect them to be a good team last year though I did think they'd win another game or 2 than they did.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

I saw someone on Twitter put it this way. Every team they play wants to beat them and beat them bad because of Prime. But he's at Colorado. Imagine what would happen if every team Rutgers played was fired up to dominate them...

 

[4Q Basket Case]

I wonder what the Colorado's Athletic Director is thinking right about now.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

Yeah, this type of behavior isn't going to keep "Coach Prime" employed very long in FBS football. That Twitter tomfoolery by him and his son is embarrassing on so many levels.

Just wait until Warren Sapp gets "turnt up" and "turnt loose". I fully expect him to make the news at some point while he's there and not in a good way.

 

[lowend]

Looks like Coach Prime's Louis he brought with him is really just a dupe.

Yep.

Deion was one of my childhood favorites when he played for the Braves and I had previously wanted him to do well as a HC.

But seeing him behave like that towards another player is extremely disappointing for me.

It makes me feel 3rd party Shame.

 

[deltatider]

Is his son even going to be a first round pick? I generally like Deion but some of stuff he’s been saying lately just ridiculous. A couple of weeks ago he listed the only 5 or 6 NFL teams that his son and the Henry kid would consider playing for, which is a ridiculous as it gets. He will leave that program worse off than he found it.

 

[davefrat]

He's making a real fool of himself with this behavior.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when some parent asks him "So, are you going to trash my son publicly if things don't work out at CU like you did to other kids?"
