It was a major story as to whether a guy could go in and effectively turn over the roster completely in an off-season.Look, I give him some props. That 1-11 program was in horrible shape and the culture has shifted. However, what grated on me was the media's love fest over him and they had not even played a single game. Deion's arrogance doesn't help either.
But, Matt Rhule is doing the very same thing at Nebraska
Deion certainly had his self-promotion angle going hard at this, but this is the first time I recall a coach walking into a P5 program and basically booting all the scholarship players. The playbook before would be to try and win with what you had and what you can recruit, not starting from scratch.
They got a gift from the scheduling gods by having a rebuilding TCU as their early marquee game. That Colorado State game told just about everyone what was going to happen this past weekend in Eugene.
