Like he cares. He’s just gotta make it work for a year, maybe 2, then he’s gone.
I don't necessarily like what he's doing at Colorado with the roster, but I don't blame him either. They were HORRIBLE last year. There can't be much talent to keep. I feel bad for the players but college football isn't amateur sports anymore.
Not sure I see the issue with Deon's approach.
College athletics has devolved into professional athletics. Enough Presidents, Athletic Directors and Coaches are OK with "pay for play".
Deon's taking a professional approach to roster management and EVERY player is on a 6 month contract with cut-down days when the season and spring ball end.

This is really the bottom line.
It sucks. It changes a lot about what I enjoy about college athletics and the concept of a student athlete.
But this is the world we live in.
I don't have an issue with Deion doing it...but I still hope he fails! I just can't root for that guy...as for his strategy/tactics...there is no "right" way anymore...whatever it takes to win.
Also, he’s just being a complete *******. Not giving tape to transfers to show why other teams should accept them, basically calling the people transferring out trash etc.. You can do an overhaul while not being a jerk. And it’s not like he’s treating them like professionals either. NFL coaches don’t do that.
I liked a comment I saw on Reddit that he should only get two years. Coaches typically get more time (and I feel like they should get more time) because it takes time to bring your guys in and teach the system. But Deion will basically have a team of “his guys” this year. So any problems he has are basically self-inflicted
I am rooting that ND's Jack Swarbrick's possible view of the future of major college athletics is correct:
1). Schools aligned with where the current college model is evolving.
2). Schools that take the Ivy League approach and integrate student-athletes into their universities.
IMO there are enough P5/G5 schools that would choose option 2 that it would be a viable model. It might not be TV centric, but it could be fan centric.
It sounds like they are now going to provide practice tape.
To be honest, I was surprised this is common practice. If I am a college coach, not sure I would want a competing conference coach to have tape of my practices.
Game tape and high school tape should be enough for prospective new coaches.
Agreed....i don't love it (with the lens of traditional college athletics).....and we know this stuff does happen.....but now it's just more in the open...the game is changing so quick. I remember last summer when NIL was unleashed....the first approach was "we don't want players that lead with that" in terms or recruitment or transfers and our collective is tied to community service...which is great....BUT....that is evolving very quickly as i'm sure our coaches (and WeWill) know that the "goal posts keep moving."
This will either be a huge success or be a quick tailspin. But again, moving forward, anyone in his program will know what it'll be...and likely will benefit with NIL and other things when they are on the ride.
