The Deion Sanders move to Colorado is going to be one of the worst disasters we will see in all of college football.
Deion Sanders is not an X's and O's coach. He doesn't have the football acumen of someone like Nick Saban, Lincoln Riley, or Kirby Smart. He has never been a coordinator at the college football level, and has never designed scheme on either offense or defense.
If anything, Deion Sanders is a cheerleader coach. He just gives ra-ra speeches and just "motivates" his team. This may have worked at Jackson State, where the roster talent on his team was vastly superior to the competition. But now he's going to the PAC-12, where he won't just have the most talented team on the field anymore. He's going to actually need to win with X's and O's, something he did not do in SWAC.
Moreover, it's clear that Deion doesn't care about the kids. Deion is all about Deion. The Colorado football program will now just serve as a content feeder for his Barstool documentary. Is that good for a football program? For players and coaches there, everything they do or say will be filmed. I think all of us know, that people don't really act like their true self in front of the cameras. How will that be conducive to a winning football program?
I expect Colorado to have a bunch of 3-9/4-8 seasons until Prime either resigns or is fired. He is not ready for this level. He is overmatched for this level. This will be one giant speculator failure, and I have my popcorn ready.
