I just watched the introduction press conference with Deion Sanders at Colorado. They spoke of support from the top and the NIL machine was already up and running. An hour after the press conference a 4-star WR had committed. Some of his new hires is the DL coach from Texas A&M, Assistant Defensive coach from Alabama. I watch the 15 minute video of him speaking to the team. You could tell by their responses and body language why were they were 1-11 this year. He was up front and told them some would not be there when he got back to Colorado. I believe his commitment to work that he spoke of, shocked more than a few.
I have no doubt based on his beliefs, and confidence in himself and his system, Colorado will be more than competitive in 2-3 years. He stated this was not a 1 year turn around that it would take time. I was sick to my stomach thinking "what could have been" right here in Bloomington, even though the coaching position was not and is not open. That might have made a difference in his response to the first phone call to see how much interest he might have.
Colorado's first game next year is with Nebraska.
You could just tell that Colorado is going to be wining football again after 20 years of losing. How nice would that be at Indiana.
