There aren't many who can self-gloss, back it up accross the sports and entrtainment world and stay in our conciousness for litetally decades. Prime Time is a rennaissance man.

Great hire by the Buffaloes and the conference. The only problem I have is how Coach Prime reconciles this opportunity with his kids at Jackson State. Wasn’t he trying the prop up HBCs and trying to prove a point that teams in that conference should get more high end talent and help advance opportunities of students who go there? Go Cougs!

"Sanders-to-Colorado is splashy."

Welcome to the PAC 12! Increased competition raises the quality of performance of all participants.

I’m not sure how anyone can forecast it will end poorly or is even risky hire. Nothing in his past shows he is anything but a winner. He’s a brilliant recruiter and his teams have been outstanding. If he fails it will be a first for him.

Let the fun begin! I can’t wait to watch all this happen! Do you think Prime Time can elevate the Pac-12 media contract payout for all the schools?

Colorado has nothing to lose. Why not give it a try? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Love it! It almost seems surreal. What other HC in FBS has Deion's persona and energy? Not even PJ Fleck can match Sanders or Pete Carroll before him. All HCs will need to elevate their sideline and recruiting game to compete. And it has to help with the media package. Amazon and Bezos must be drooling to get a piece of this action.

Wondering with all the exciting news swirling around the PAC-12, if possibly UCLA and USC might be pondering their jump. Just a thought.

I’d argue this hire is a heck of a lot bigger than Lanning to Oregon or Riley to USC in terms of actual impact to a program

Win, win, win watch out ducks and beavers the pac 12 just got that much tougher.

This is a great hire for both the Buffs and the PAC as a whole. I agree that this may be a sign of a good TV deal in the works as well. I’m excited to see what the next month brings with news on that front.
