Dang, that's messed up about Shedeur. So his dad was making him play with a serious injury that could have left him paralyzed?

You know what might have kept him from getting killed? Attempting to run the ball at least a little bit. He wanted his kid to be the star of the show so he kept dropping him back. No defense feared CU’s run game because CU didn’t even bother with a run game.

3/4 of Colorado's wins were games that coulda gone either way against borderline bad or straight up bad teams

They also took a loss to a shit tier 3-9 Stanford squad

This was not some team that was "close" and some good luck away from being a "contender" like people like RG3 want to pretend.

Not one of those wins was to an above.500 team.

The new car luster is gone completely. Those massive early season TV ratings we saw this you for Colorado aren't going to be there next year.

I bet the media talking heads throating Deion are made to back off a bit by their masters and go back to focusing giving that energy to the real ratings dogs when that becomes obvious

I'm not even sure if Sanders is an early rounder

I can't decide whether to laugh at CU for only winning 4 games this year after all their hype or cry because one of those wins was against Nebraska...

He should have scheduled more OOC games against TCU and Nebraska. Everyone thought those two wins were good at the time. They don't look so hot now.

In spite of all the hype and being Neon's son, I thought the kid was a pretty good QB. When QBs are constantly under pressure and can still manage to accomplish anything is a good sign to me. Compared that to QBs that hardly ever get pressured or even touched and still don't perform.....

I don’t really blame Deion because I didn’t really have expectations for him. It takes more than “I’m an NFL legend come play for me” to run a P5 program, even a middling one like Colorado.

The media and celebrity slobberfest is what turned me off.

Thats all they’re able to sell to recruits and you might get a few starry eyed talented kids to buy into that but I don’t know how you build a successful team culture around that.

If a white coach to a team from 1 win to a whopping 4.....

no one would even have noticed.

UVa's black coach has won 6 games total in 2 years. Compare that to the white guy he replaced that won 6 games in his final season.
 
In all honesty, he did do a great job when you put things into context. They won 1 game last year, and lost by an avg of 29 ppg. Winning 4 games and losing a lot of close games is a step in the right direction. Sure, they could have gone 1-11, but they just as easily could have gone 8-4.

Is blowing a 29-0 lead to a totally garbage 3-9 Stanford team at home and losing 56-14 to a well below average 5-7 Wazzu squad all part of the right step?

At first I was a hard no but looked back again and 8-4 was doable. Improbable but doable.

You can't say "they" when like 90% of the team and coaching staff are brand new. He disrupted the entire program and likely won't be there long. I think by the time he leaves it will have been a massive net negative for them.
