Bo Jackson didn't want a better two sport athlete than he was at Auburn.

less than a zero percent chance Prime would have played the "Booster game" that Auburn is stuck in.

But these recruits can ABSOLUTELY relate to a guy like Prime....and that's why he's going to recruit better than expected.

He is a program marketing machine with a great story and huge brand with ATL ties that would have killed in recruiting your footprint not to mention a pain to UGA.





Had they hired him, this quote would read

"I cant believe you fvcking morons hired this flashy little snake oil salesmen with know real high level coaching success. Wtf were you thinking, not to mention let a proven winner in freeze wait in the wings because he wasnt moral enough"

Ive witnessed it first hand. I think josh heupel won more games this season than Greg Schiano has since he has been at rutgers.The rant fans tell us all the time that not hiring him was the biggest mistake weve ever made.

Maybe I’m curious to see how prime does in a power 5 conference. Everyone argues x and o’s vs jimmies and joes but truth is with comparable talent if you can’t coach it’s going to fail. By name alone prime brought in a bunch of fbs transfers and low rated 3 star guys. Which in the fcs gives you such an athletic advantage it’s hard to lose. No matter how well he recruits at Colorado certain programs will have enough talent to force prime to out coach them. So I’m sure any name brand program wasn’t touching prime until this question gets answered

It's like a parental setting in your profile or something. It only changes it for people who haven't switched the setting.

it's interesting that they chose *that* word to switch but I'm pretty sure you can say the word "pussy" with impunity.

This has nothing to do with Tennessee, and even if it did, the choice wasn't Schiano or Heupel, it was Schiano or Pruitt, and Pruitt was definitely the wrong choice.

He succeeded in the SWAC because he had a handful of D1 players. Sure one was the number one cb (player?) in his class but the fact remains he’s a hype man. Kevin Sumlin 2.0 at best. Fast risers fall fast.

Bingo!
Watch the YouTube videos of Prime and his entourage. It is all about Prime, marketing his products and nothing else.

If Coach Prime had waited a few more weeks he could have stayed in the state of Mississippi and become the Miss St. head coach.

He's at CU, so where exactly will he fall? They just finished 1-11 for the season, there's literally nowhere to fall for that program.

IF Prime gets them to a bowl game by year two, he'll be considered their salvation. USC/UNLV are leaving in '24 and very possibly Oregon & Washington will do the same soon. Prime can have CU middle of the Pac pretty easily.

That CU team is bottom of the barrel with an engrained loser mentality. Prime will bring immediate change and he will purge that program of the defeatist culture. He'll get them in a structured S&C program, in the film room nonstop and the attitudes will change.

I don't think the kind of kids who are attracted to someone who calls themselves "Prime" are going to be the kind of team players top teams need. Always exceptions, but I doubt anyone is going to get too worried about him


For the most part if they are 5* or high 4 * everybody wants them.. but keep on acting high and mighty.

I would have been on board. Rumor was he did interview but sounded like he was well prepared. But that’s just rumor.

I was rooting for Deion right up until his last shooting off of the mouth

screw that guy, he's the same narcissist he always was, regardless of Skip Bayless covering for him in the Cowboys "nonfictions" making him out to be a normal guy

the high-level recruits he pulls in will be fickle prima donnas

I'm not rooting for the guy anymore
