For me, I am a fan of old style college sports... where the coach devotes themselves to the players and isn;t looking for every moment to be in the limelight. Thats not to say I want a shadow of a coach, I loved and miss Mike Leach's press conferences...

Coach Prime looks to make the team about himself, like a reality show on par with the Kardadshians, and the players that will attract will be hungry to be social media influencers... so they will all feed off each other... if I wanted that type of drama I would just watch Orange County Housewives with my wife

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but you’re totally ignoring the benefits that come with Prime.

He is a legit leader. He demands accountability. He is building men, not just football players. Ultimately that is changing lives of young men and has the possibility of changing the trajectory of lives for generations to come.

No coach throws his players under the bus than does The Pirate.

If you don't like a show-boater that's certainly understandable. But then to bring up enjoying Mike Leach, yikes. Kind of makes me think you just want someone who thinks, looks, and talks like you.

I'm not a fan of Sanders, but he brings instant credibility as one of the game's greatest players at all levels. He's nicknamed Primetime for a reason. But he also seems to genuinely want to see players that put in the effort succeed on the field, off, and make money in the process. And he is more relatable for a young, African American football player.
