“He helped Joshua fight the battle of Jericho, he helped Daniel get out the lion’s den, HE HELPED THE BUFFALO’S MAKE THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF” “If loving Coach PRIME is wrong, I don’t want to be right!” -Buckeye wishing this man and that team nothing but the best.
I am really happy for Coach Prime and as sure if it's Gods will he will definitely do well Coach Prime you have my support and my prayers God bless you
@Coach Jackson I heard it's two times the portal open. So keep the faith. Coach Prime knows every player for sure. He See's him. Don't lose faith if it ain't the first go around. I love Coach TC style and your son is in a win win situation. What's for him will be for him. I believe he's covered.
Forget about football!!!This man is making you feel what working hard is and in life and do your absolute best because you are your strongest competition.This guy is sooo loved by all!Loved the attitude he brought in his playing days!He played like he was against the devil and he wasn’t gonna lose!
I am a 61 year old midwestern guy who now lives in Texas, but am now an unapologetic CU fan going forward. CONGRATULATIONS CU on this selection, and let’s Ride Coach Prime ! ! ! !
Much respect to Prime! Proud to have witnessed his entire NFL career as well as witnessing his growth as a man an leader of young men. I was on the production crew of a popular tv show being shot in Las Vegas (2019) Prime was one of our celebrity guest stars... He came on set with little fanfare and zero handlers. He did his thing and went on with his life. Very refreshing to see someone so publicly hyped being low keyed and professional behind the scene.
I am 64 years old, but if I were a young man now, I would play for Coach Prime. This man is a leader of young men with a deep faith in God and a direction. Go get 'em Coach Prime!
I love listening to Deion a man on a mission with that drive I know will succeed. He genuinely cares about making an impact on these kids lives and that's a powerful thing. A lot of coaches just want to win games.
The dude is just such an awesome person. How can you not like him? Dawg fan all the way but damn I’ll be rooting for Colorado next season. Great hire for them.
Lifelong Gator and I friggin’ LOVE Coach Prime! Congrats to Colorado and JSU as well. So have enjoyed watching everything you’ve accomplished (JSU) as well. Will continue to root for you all. Excited to watch the Buff’s in the years to come. 😁❤️🐊👍
And kudos to Rick George... I'll tell you one thing, the promotional channel or channels on VNclip that Deion does and has where he lets all his players do this and that... It's little things like that that previous "Colorado" really had no feel for... I mean it's absolutely genius and it's what today's kids want and if you don't offer it they will go someplace else to get it.. I absolutely love it and it may take Colorado a little while to get used to it but in the end, it's going to be more than well worth it, I believe. As someone from the South and who attended The University of Colrado (88-93) i was sooo ready to give up all together. For the past 10+ years to me it seemed no one cared about Colorado football, not the school, not the adminstration, etc.. and its true NO ONE DID !! i felt Colorado didn't have the balls nor the desire or ability to think "outside the box". i was wrong and in the position they were in- there was no better choice ANYWHERE. I love it !!!! Go Buffs !!
Can't believe people doubt him at anything he has been elite at everything he has chosen to do. Football, baseball, coaching, recruiting, he's proven it all. They are going to win immediately
Jackson State fans are not hating we are absorbing the hurt. I am pulling for coach and want to see him do well. Now JSU, and CU will look to the future. Hopefully the schools will connect because JSU will always be where coach got his Division 1 start.
@M@tt Gats how is Eddie racist for wanting to uplift his ppl? Only black ppl get deemed racist for doing what every other community does on the regular 😂😂 that’s why I say deion sold out a lil bit
@Time Traveler See my comment addressed to ‘Got Gats’. Coach Robinson began coaching in 1941. You do realize no blacks were not allowed in SEC, ACC, or Big 12 schools until the 1960s and late 1950s respectively. ‘Hit the nail on the head?’. Only to a fellow ignorant person. Robinson did what he did because policies like Jim Crow shaped the distrust of so many blacks in the south and no, you don’t just get over that. He stayed were he felt he was needed most. Only an extremely ignorant person would label that racism.
@M@tt Gats Um, the men Robinson coaches were primarily guys who for the first 20+ years of his career were excluded entirely from every SEC and ACC(because of the color of their skin). Perhaps if there hadn’t been such racist dispositions among southern whites during the bulk of his early career, he wouldn’t have felt the need to coach the type of players who no one else would allow to play for them? Before you haul of and call a black man who experienced the brunt of Jim Crow hate racist, try considering a walk in his shoes for a mile or two. Then again, persons like yourself posses a need to try displacing the typical disposition of so many whites on black people. Your people invented and perfected racism. Try applying it to someone more familiar.
@Joey Scott No FBS school is a powerhouse. Nobody cares about them and never will. Appalachian State is what FBS schools should aspire to. Be so dominant that you get promoted to FCS. Until then, you're all just powderpuffs that better schools schedule for virtual bye weeks.
@Kevin Brown yo KB every single Super Bowl from SB 3 have been rigged/scripted for the desired outcome. Super Bowl 37 MVP is on a radio show explaining it. It's well known if you just get out of the mainstream box most people get stuck inside. 4 different occasions the NFL and league executives have been forced to admit that they have no obligation to provide real competition in a Federal court. If you study the NFL legal business model it is drawn up exactly the same as WWE wrestling. Don't waste your life debating the importance of Super Bowls bro.
Congrats Coach Prime! I must say I feel for those JSU players who have to watch this before they play the celebration bowl and stay motivated. You got them to believe in you, and themselves. I hope they can remain grateful above all else for your sacrifices and investments when they look back. Just understand, culturally this is not the same environment adjust, weed, do what you have to to make it do what it do. We rooting for you.
@Melissa Williams So what? So did Magic and he wasn't a good coach. So did MJ and he's been a bad owner. Belichick never played in the NFL nor did Saban. Not saying Deion can't become a great coach but usually the best coaches, GM's and owners weren't the best players.
@Kvng Rell sorry english major. Let me tell you. Nobody speaks proper english. We all speak a slang. I know mathamatics, history, geography, meteorology, science, & Quantum physics.
@KING POTUS To me, high tier is the Ivies and what are known as "public" Ivies academic wise, You got Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell and Brown. Then you got Chicago, Syracuse, Duke, California Berkeley, MIT, Georgetown. That's top tier. South Carolina isn't a bad program, but I wouldn't call it a public ivy. Athletic wise, y'all stellar.
@Amari Jackson my school (South Carolina) has the best international business school in the nation if not bumping around the top 3, This doesn’t make it a high tier academic college 🤷🏻♂️
I love listening to Deion a man on a mission with that drive I know will succeed. He genuinely cares about making an impact on these kids lives and that's a powerful thing. A lot of coaches just want to win games.
Athletes and coaches like Dione Sanders are a rare breed. They lead from the front. They ask nothing of the men following them, that they haven't done themselves! And the men behind him, know he did it better!! *Steel Talk*
Man, Prime is everything you want in a coach: 1. Legit wants the kids to succeed. Lots of these snake oil salesmen coaches are out for themselves. 2. Knows what the kids want: social, shine, a path to the NFL. 3. Has first hand knowledge on the path to greatness. HoF pro player. 4. Has a damn plan.
@Jon Williams LMAO sold out feelings hurt much he didn't change who he his and never has what's the problem with advancing he went from coaching pee wee to highschool to HBCU to now a power 5 school he's earned his way to where he's at and heading allot can be learned from that instead of hating try congratulating and be inspired to do the same
@AnthonyHayesAbyssartsStudio People have to understand that it's bigger for him. Not many black head coaches at that level and he's trying to bring them with him. Also just off of his recommendation he got another black coach the job at Jackson State from his staff. He's putting people in position to win and trying to do it on a bigger scale. Black people usually don't see that. We want great blacks to take discounts for their talents and efforts. If you have the best product why discount it? It would be like Rolls Royce discounting their cars. Also, we don't appreciate great things. His car was robbed twice when he got to Jackson State and they took a chain. That was black people who did that. He owes them nothing but should be praised for what he did for that school and community. He's a stand up guy and always has been.
I love to see the Optimism. I was born and raised in Ohio and love this damn sport . As a buckeye that has moved and created a business in this great state I hope this program finds it way again . That being said this can go either really good or really bad lol good luck & go buckeyes !
I am so happy for Coach Prime and CU it brings happy tears to my soul. CU is genuinely happy to him. I have never been a CU fan, but I am NOW…for sure. I can’t wait for next football season.
Coach Prime is leaving a legacy. Sounds like one of his staff will take over at JSU. Either way, he built a foundation for the next coach. He might do the same at Colorado. And maybe other places. I admire Coach Prime. Talk about a difference maker. He saw an issue and is making a real difference. So cool
@Translate to English you don’t know what fork I represent because you do not know me or Coach Prime. Again, I am not against any human being who is concerned about uplifting humanity. I left a powerful six figure job in order to teach K-6th grade student of all persuasion. God bless
@Translate to English I don’t doubt that he is good people! The issue is the message he is sending to the very young people he proclaims to care about. He chose money over the black community! This is a terrible thing to teach young black men! Deion might be a good Christian (if you know history we were enslaved by people professing to be Christians) but he is a selfish, egotistical, and disloyal human being in my opinion. If you can’t say no to the white man’s money, what good are you to our community! If he is truly anointed with the Holy Spirit, he would know God has a special love for the poor and downtrodden, and extreme hatred for greed. I hope this answers your concerns.
@Michael Washington Deion Sanders is a God loving man. He cares about people. ALL people!, Forget about the fact that he played in and won numerous Superbowls and played pro baseball. He cares about the kids that he coaches. He wants them to succeed. Here is a man that is passionate about competing and eventually dominating the game. He played that way, he coaches the same way. I’ve heard that he gave up half of his salary while at JSU th help upgrade their facilities. Deion is one in a million. The world needs more like him. That’s why I said that!😁😁😁
Coach Prime, I've been a die hard Philadelphia ML Sports fan (all sports) since the '60's. I'm only a couple years older than you. I "grew up" with you, watching you play FB and BB, always loved you and respected you, regardless of the jersey you wore, bc of your spirit, grace and poetry in motion on the field. I live in Arkansas now and was so thrilled when you came to JSU bc it's so close. I have followed what you've accomplished at JSU, read articles about your challenges and successes there. Now, I've listened to you speak at this PC and also your first mtg with the team...I am even more blown away by you, your words, your spirit, your passion, your vision, your humanity. I just gotta say, I love you, Coach Prime. I think you are a wonderful human being and I have a tremendous respect for you. May Hashem continue to Bless You, Deion! And I pray that you are successful in turning around the lives of these young men and all those you touch at CSU and in the community. I hope that I might be blessed to meet you some day. Amen!
I have not cared less about CU football since Coach Mac - yea, Im old.....- but after watching Deion do his thing, and based on what he has done of late, Good God, bring it on!!!! This is going to be good.....stock up on the popcorn!!! Compare this presser to some other, reserved old coach that has done it all but figures what the hell, lets do it one more time......NO COMPARISON! Love Love Love PRIME TIME! Cannot wait! We are getting Prime in the START OF HIS PRIME as a coach....this could be just utterly ridiculous based on his values, recruiting and dedication to the kids....Holy Shit!!!
Always been a big fan of prime time. As an FSU fan I think we dropped the ball on this one. Norvell is a good coach, but man the sky is the limit with coach prime. Talk about injecting some excitement into a program! Good job Colorado!
Prime only had 1 season of coaching when the FSU job came open. So it’s hard to offer a big time coaching job to a man that only had 1 year of college coaching experience. But looking back on it, it’s easy to second guess.
I love listening to Deion a man on a mission with that drive I know will succeed. He genuinely cares about making an impact on these kids lives and that's a powerful thing. A lot of coaches just want to win games.
@LaDeya Ivy if he really would of cared about God he would of stayed at Jackson State and continue to empower the lives of young Black man and continue to bring them exposure to NFL scouts. But no, instead he chased the money. 💰💰💰
Obsessed Broncos fan here and new CU fan. I'm hella excited for this team. Shit I stood up and started clapping like I was in the damn press room my self, forgetting I'm in San Diego 😅😭. In college it's all about recruiting and he's one hell of a recruiter. Just ask me and my granny. We're heading to the portal now.💪😂
VOLS fan!Been a Deion fan for soooo many years and as a teen wore the stew out of my cowboys jersey in the 90s!we may not see a coach with this attitude in a very very longtime!Respect Colorado!!!Congrats on getting this amazing person including player!Yall are blessed to have a diamond in the rough.Goodluck in the near future with this man!AND PLEASE sell your stadium out for this guy!!!
Man, Prime has those Colorado boosters and media eating out the palm of his hand 😂 such a great speaker and motivator! Can’t wait to see what he does for Colorado
It's crazy, I was heavily recruited in 1994-95 by Colorado coach Cabral, I walked the campus with Rashaan Salaam, Eric Bieniemy and Kordel Stewart. I unfortunately ended up in Mississippi Jackson St for a semester before I walked away from the sport and opportunity. But it's crazy to see prime coaching a both Schools I had interest in...
@Dee Robinson politricks, let's say I burned a bridge that shouldn't have, and being big headed because I was 225 6'1 ran 4.40 40 I figured I'd be wherever I wanted. Then life happened... I was actually enlisted in the US Army infantry Air Bourne ranger before just not going last minute when my foster brother Tyree Washington talked me into Jackson St... Lol, I grew up across the street from Willie McGinest, I got moved around from Long Beach to Riverside because foster care, so I know quite a few SoCal names of my time, Pat Johnson, Brian Howard, Chris Claiborne, RJ Sower, David Dotson, and a few I probably forgot, but I was one of CIF top 100 recruits in 1995, but destroyed my career early. And it sucks because Colorado at the time was a perfect fit because I went both ways running back and linebacker, I would of excelled in Boulder but life... Lol I got all daughters and only one always tries racing me to win and gets mad, she may be my speedster foreal but she's only 9. But yes I had a good path, just not the best around me, and I didn't come from a good place. So 🤷
Damn; the more I listen to this guy, the more I love him! Family man, strong male role model, follower of Christ, and a dang good coach - what more could we ask for? Hey, coach prime; I might be 5‘4“ tall, 150 pounds, and 53 years old, but I’m ready to run through a brick wall for you - where do I sign up? Lol!
Watch out Pac 12 Colorado is coming. Glad to see Coach Prime get this opportunity God call him to Colorado and he will definitely change that program around.
Guys in the LEAGUE who were babies or not even BORN when Sanders played relate to Coach Prime. Can you imagine the recruiting power he'll have at CU with their facilities and resources over what he had at JSU ? MAAAANNN 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man. Would run through a fucking brick wall for this guy. He’s not only gonna make CU great, he’s going to change how the country views football in Colorado. This hire is going to impact THOUSANDS of people. He’s right about one thing. God is GREAT!
This was a great decision. There will be a lot of haters, but the reality is that the haters do not pay the bills. Also, that is the problem with many people; they fail to progress and be happy for those who do. Elevating your mind elevates your life.
I have never cared about a new coach press conference but I had to see this bc of Prime and I watched the whole thing. It's hard not to pay attention to a HOF DB Goat and winning coach. Can't wait!
Iowa fan AND Colorado fan as I used to live in Boulder and my brother went to school at CU. I don’t see any negatives to this situation whatsoever. This man motivates like few people I have ever witnessed. For the first time since the mid 90’s I am actually jealous of Colorado’s football program over Iowa’s!😂 When I first learned about the possibility of Coach Sanders coming to Boulder, I didn’t think it was going to happen mostly based on knowing the culture of the city. I’m a God fearing man and my love for God was absolutely not appreciated or respected while living there and people let me know it. But hearing how confident and open Deion is, lol, yeah I don’t think he’s going to pay any attention to the haters. This guy is going to make people respect him whether they want to give it to him or not lol. So that tells me he is going to recruit at an extremely high level and be able to build a national powerhouse in the time that he chooses to stay there. Imagine a high profile recruit trying to tell Coach Sanders “No thank you” while he is sitting in that recruit’s living room…😂. Yeah if he wants somebody it’s very simple: Coach Sanders will get them. This part of the message is for Coach Sanders personally: Glad to see you lead these Buffs to national prominence again but please don’t touch any of my Iowa Hawkeye recruits we need them! Lol. Also Coach Prime I have to disagree with you on one thing you said. There absolutely IS crime in Boulder believe me on that lol! Yes lock your doors at night. You’re about to see more homeless panhandlers on every Boulder corner than you have probably ever seen except for downtown Los Angeles, Portland, or maybe Seattle. Boulder is home for the elite wealthy and for the elite panhandler lol. I wish nothing but the best for Buff nation and Coach Prime.
“He helped Joshua fight the battle of Jericho, he helped Daniel get out the lion’s den, HE HELPED THE BUFFALO’S MAKE THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF”
“If loving Coach PRIME is wrong, I don’t want to be right!”
-Buckeye wishing this man and that team nothing but the best.
Fellow Buckeye, same boat! Go Bucks and Go Buffs!!!
@Lennon Mabry ⁰
I am really happy for Coach Prime and as sure if it's Gods will he will definitely do well Coach Prime you have my support and my prayers God bless you
I'm 40.years old and I just jumped in the portal and signed with CU.... Lol love you Coach Prime keep being great for these student athletes....
I'm a strong lady like ralphie I entered the portal as a kicker lol
@Isabella Marascalceaux 🤗 ♥ 🤗 ♥
Same expect I’m a 40 yr old woman 😂😂😂😂😂❤️
@Coach Jackson I heard it's two times the portal open. So keep the faith. Coach Prime knows every player for sure. He See's him. Don't lose faith if it ain't the first go around. I love Coach TC style and your son is in a win win situation. What's for him will be for him. I believe he's covered.
@SoljaB05 Amen... They recruited him at JSU he holds a JSU offer hopefully Prime brings him to CU or offer him before February
Forget about football!!!This man is making you feel what working hard is and in life and do your absolute best because you are your strongest competition.This guy is sooo loved by all!Loved the attitude he brought in his playing days!He played like he was against the devil and he wasn’t gonna lose!
I'm adopting excerpts from this speech for my insurance business
What a great leader, in words and actions. I could listen to Deion Sanders all day! Welcome to Colorado, Coach Primetime. I will be a supportive fan.
I am a 61 year old midwestern guy who now lives in Texas, but am now an unapologetic CU fan going forward. CONGRATULATIONS CU on this selection, and let’s Ride Coach Prime ! ! ! !
65 in Florida, and I'm right along with you..... My kids got me all Buffs gear for Xmas....
#wecoming
40 year old living in South Korea and I'm yelling SO BUFFS! Never even knew their mascot
Much respect to Prime! Proud to have witnessed his entire NFL career as well as witnessing his growth as a man an leader of young men. I was on the production crew of a popular tv show being shot in Las Vegas (2019) Prime was one of our celebrity guest stars... He came on set with little fanfare and zero handlers. He did his thing and went on with his life. Very refreshing to see someone so publicly hyped being low keyed and professional behind the scene.
I am 64 years old, but if I were a young man now, I would play for Coach Prime. This man is a leader of young men with a deep faith in God and a direction. Go get 'em Coach Prime!
I love listening to Deion a man on a mission with that drive I know will succeed. He genuinely cares about making an impact on these kids lives and that's a powerful thing. A lot of coaches just want to win games.
I can't take you serious with that fake profile pic.
Haven’t watched many introductory press conferences. But this was prolly the best one ever. Motivational and funny. They may have something.
The dude is just such an awesome person. How can you not like him? Dawg fan all the way but damn I’ll be rooting for Colorado next season. Great hire for them.
You know what time it is bulldawgs all day but I'm checking for CU too
Lifelong Gator and I friggin’ LOVE Coach Prime! Congrats to Colorado and JSU as well. So have enjoyed watching everything you’ve accomplished (JSU) as well. Will continue to root for you all. Excited to watch the Buff’s in the years to come. 😁❤️🐊👍
Lifelong dawg but we are united in rooting for CU. Only coach prime to can make a bulldawgs fan agree with a gator!
I’m a die hard LSU fan and I can’t wait to see Colorado next year.
I’m a Miss State fan and I can’t wait either!!
Definitely tuning in from Da Boot.... I used to watch CU back in the day when Bienemy was RB..
#GoTigers 🐅
Same here. LSU die hard and a new Buff fan. As long Prime stays out of Louisiana it’s all good with me
The transfer portal and Coach Prime recruiting capability could make this team competitive sooner than you'd think.
It's gonna take a few years for all the bums on this roster to be gone first. My guess is Prime doesn't win until year 2 or 3.
Very happy for Prime! He's going to bring a level of swag and expectations to that program.
And discipline. These kids don't know what's coming
How could you not root for this Man... Coach Prime "we coming "
This is awesome! Congratulations Coach Prime. God bless you with much success. 😊🙏
Deion is really a blessing to these Colorado kids. No one should be hating on this man
Guy literally sparked a fire on some of them kids respect hell of a coach right there and he assured them about competition.🔥🔥
But they should be "hating" on this team.. Because Colorado Buffaloes will now be a threat. ✅💯💪🏾
We need more coach's like deion. So all young men who came from broken homes can be molded into good young men.
CU built there program with McCartney an he recruited alot of troubled young men from California an molded them into great men...
And kudos to Rick George... I'll tell you one thing, the promotional channel or channels on VNclip that Deion does and has where he lets all his players do this and that...
It's little things like that that previous "Colorado" really had no feel for... I mean it's absolutely genius and it's what today's kids want and if you don't offer it they will go someplace else to get it.. I absolutely love it and it may take Colorado a little while to get used to it but in the end, it's going to be more than well worth it, I believe. As someone from the South and who attended The University of Colrado (88-93) i was sooo ready to give up all together. For the past 10+ years to me it seemed no one cared about Colorado football, not the school, not the adminstration, etc.. and its true NO ONE DID !!
i felt Colorado didn't have the balls nor the desire or ability to think "outside the box".
i was wrong and in the position they were in- there was no better choice ANYWHERE. I love it !!!! Go Buffs !!
King George 👑
Can't believe people doubt him at anything he has been elite at everything he has chosen to do. Football, baseball, coaching, recruiting, he's proven it all. They are going to win immediately

@M@tt Gats how is Eddie racist for wanting to uplift his ppl? Only black ppl get deemed racist for doing what every other community does on the regular 😂😂 that’s why I say deion sold out a lil bit

@Joey Scott No FBS school is a powerhouse. Nobody cares about them and never will. Appalachian State is what FBS schools should aspire to. Be so dominant that you get promoted to FCS. Until then, you're all just powderpuffs that better schools schedule for virtual bye weeks.
Man I love this guys confidence , and his love for the lord !!!!Welcome aboard Coach Prime !!!!
@Kevin Brown yo KB every single Super Bowl from SB 3 have been rigged/scripted for the desired outcome. Super Bowl 37 MVP is on a radio show explaining it. It's well known if you just get out of the mainstream box most people get stuck inside. 4 different occasions the NFL and league executives have been forced to admit that they have no obligation to provide real competition in a Federal court. If you study the NFL legal business model it is drawn up exactly the same as WWE wrestling. Don't waste your life debating the importance of Super Bowls bro.
@Kevin Brown 🇺🇸 great in Seattle! But, in Denver NOW!
@Seymore Fact Russell Wilson is a super bowl champion. That's the biggest win of em all. You can't erase history!
@Seymore Fact Dude the entire mainstream world is Luciferian including Primetime.... that's how Earth works
@Seymore Fact 😀😀
Bravo to the athletic director for taking a risk and going in with Coach Prime
Lol risk
Now I'm really liking the athletic director. What a good guy for that position. I like his character, and foresight. And determination.
Remember. It was his character that Deion said made him choose Colorado.
Congrats Coach Prime! I must say I feel for those JSU players who have to watch this before they play the celebration bowl and stay motivated. You got them to believe in you, and themselves. I hope they can remain grateful above all else for your sacrifices and investments when they look back. Just understand, culturally this is not the same environment adjust, weed, do what you have to to make it do what it do. We rooting for you.
Alot of those JSU guys now have a connect
@Richard Williams What was he at Jackson State?
I have a sneaking suspicion that many of them will be coming to Boulder
@Melissa Williams So what? So did Magic and he wasn't a good coach. So did MJ and he's been a bad owner. Belichick never played in the NFL nor did Saban. Not saying Deion can't become a great coach but usually the best coaches, GM's and owners weren't the best players.
@Kvng Rell sorry english major. Let me tell you. Nobody speaks proper english. We all speak a slang. I know mathamatics, history, geography, meteorology, science, & Quantum physics.
This is truly awesome. This means that the University is serious about winning.
Yes he is!!! I just can't stand the HATERS AND NEGATIVITY!!!!@ BUTTWIPES
So they'll be getting rid of Marxism.
@KING POTUS To me, high tier is the Ivies and what are known as "public" Ivies academic wise, You got Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell and Brown. Then you got Chicago, Syracuse, Duke, California Berkeley, MIT, Georgetown. That's top tier. South Carolina isn't a bad program, but I wouldn't call it a public ivy. Athletic wise, y'all stellar.
@Amari Jackson my school (South Carolina) has the best international business school in the nation if not bumping around the top 3, This doesn’t make it a high tier academic college 🤷🏻♂️
@Rage Triano Nothing you have said means anything. Your just reaching. We shall see.
I love listening to Deion a man on a mission with that drive I know will succeed. He genuinely cares about making an impact on these kids lives and that's a powerful thing. A lot of coaches just want to win games.
Love Neon. Need more of him in this world.
Athletes and coaches like Dione Sanders are a rare breed. They lead from the front. They ask nothing of the men following them, that they haven't done themselves! And the men behind him, know he did it better!! *Steel Talk*
They are very lucky to have Coach PRIME these young men are in for a challenge
Yes the sad part coach is going to destroy this current roster!!
Well you all may have a golden ticket with this man. I know for a fact he's in it to win it. I put him up there with Bo Jackson. Also a legend.
Man, Prime is everything you want in a coach:
1. Legit wants the kids to succeed. Lots of these snake oil salesmen coaches are out for themselves.
2. Knows what the kids want: social, shine, a path to the NFL.
3. Has first hand knowledge on the path to greatness. HoF pro player.
4. Has a damn plan.
Congrats to Colorado! What a moment for the program.
Congrats Coach Prime! We have your back, as you embark on your new endeavor! May GOD continue to bless you and your family!
Congrats Coach Prime and Colorado, you guys got a great one.
This is epic!! Faith will get you into an unbelievable place as this is good for all aspects of football!!
Faith without work means nothing, you have to put in the work to make things happen. Nothing will happen sitting on your ass
Faith indeed will move mountains. Lovin it.
As a Faculty member at an HBCU, I'm Pride of Coach Sanders. I would do the same if I was in his position. Life is about upward mobility.
@andrewtrotter9023 The person said they were on the faculty not an actual teacher. Great point though.
You’re a college professor and you just wrote “I’m Pride of Coach Sanders”?
@Jon Williams LMAO sold out feelings hurt much he didn't change who he his and never has what's the problem with advancing he went from coaching pee wee to highschool to HBCU to now a power 5 school he's earned his way to where he's at and heading allot can be learned from that instead of hating try congratulating and be inspired to do the same
@Patrick Calvary first thing he noted, "Boulder has virtually no crime rate"
@AnthonyHayesAbyssartsStudio People have to understand that it's bigger for him. Not many black head coaches at that level and he's trying to bring them with him. Also just off of his recommendation he got another black coach the job at Jackson State from his staff. He's putting people in position to win and trying to do it on a bigger scale. Black people usually don't see that. We want great blacks to take discounts for their talents and efforts. If you have the best product why discount it? It would be like Rolls Royce discounting their cars. Also, we don't appreciate great things. His car was robbed twice when he got to Jackson State and they took a chain. That was black people who did that. He owes them nothing but should be praised for what he did for that school and community. He's a stand up guy and always has been.
I love to see the Optimism. I was born and raised in Ohio and love this damn sport . As a buckeye that has moved and created a business in this great state I hope this program finds it way again . That being said this can go either really good or really bad lol good luck & go buckeyes !
GO COACH PRIME GO BUCKEYES!
Like him or hate him; he’s smooth as his speed was. I wish him and them the best.
I am so happy for Coach Prime and CU it brings happy tears to my soul. CU is genuinely happy to him. I have never been a CU fan, but I am NOW…for sure. I can’t wait for next football season.
Coach Prime is leaving a legacy. Sounds like one of his staff will take over at JSU. Either way, he built a foundation for the next coach. He might do the same at Colorado. And maybe other places. I admire Coach Prime. Talk about a difference maker. He saw an issue and is making a real difference. So cool
We need more people like Deion Sanders!😊😊
@Michael Washington your next to last comment was deleted, as was mine. Have a nice rest of your day.😀😀😀
@Translate to English you don’t know what fork I represent because you do not know me or Coach Prime. Again, I am not against any human being who is concerned about uplifting humanity. I left a powerful six figure job in order to teach K-6th grade student of all persuasion. God bless
@Translate to English I don’t doubt that he is good people! The issue is the message he is sending to the very young people he proclaims to care about. He chose money over the black community! This is a terrible thing to teach young black men! Deion might be a good Christian (if you know history we were enslaved by people professing to be Christians) but he is a selfish, egotistical, and disloyal human being in my opinion. If you can’t say no to the white man’s money, what good are you to our community! If he is truly anointed with the Holy Spirit, he would know God has a special love for the poor and downtrodden, and extreme hatred for greed. I hope this answers your concerns.
@Michael Washington Deion Sanders is a God loving man. He cares about people. ALL people!, Forget about the fact that he played in and won numerous Superbowls and played pro baseball. He cares about the kids that he coaches. He wants them to succeed. Here is a man that is passionate about competing and eventually dominating the game. He played that way, he coaches the same way. I’ve heard that he gave up half of his salary while at JSU th help upgrade their facilities. Deion is one in a million. The world needs more like him.
That’s why I said that!😁😁😁
@Translate to English why do you say that?
Coach Prime, I've been a die hard Philadelphia ML Sports fan (all sports) since the '60's. I'm only a couple years older than you. I "grew up" with you, watching you play FB and BB, always loved you and respected you, regardless of the jersey you wore, bc of your spirit, grace and poetry in motion on the field. I live in Arkansas now and was so thrilled when you came to JSU bc it's so close. I have followed what you've accomplished at JSU, read articles about your challenges and successes there. Now, I've listened to you speak at this PC and also your first mtg with the team...I am even more blown away by you, your words, your spirit, your passion, your vision, your humanity. I just gotta say, I love you, Coach Prime. I think you are a wonderful human being and I have a tremendous respect for you. May Hashem continue to Bless You, Deion! And I pray that you are successful in turning around the lives of these young men and all those you touch at CSU and in the community. I hope that I might be blessed to meet you some day. Amen!
Hope the love stays the same through the tough times as well. Congrats coach prime.
You know it won’t 😂😂 them white ppl don’t love black ppl unconditionally only we love each other like that even in our darkest times
Congratulations Coach Prime. You got this!
I’m not about politics I’m about people!! Breath of fresh air for Boulder, Colorado!!!
Coach prime!!!! A TRUE definition of a REAL MAN.... Congrats man, u deserve the best!!!
How can you not root for coach Prime.
Just love the way he gives the praise and glory to God, he truly knows.
He will be one of the best coaches ever.
I’m happy for Coach Prime! 🎉😄🏈
I have not cared less about CU football since Coach Mac - yea, Im old.....- but after watching Deion do his thing, and based on what he has done of late, Good God, bring it on!!!! This is going to be good.....stock up on the popcorn!!! Compare this presser to some other, reserved old coach that has done it all but figures what the hell, lets do it one more time......NO COMPARISON! Love Love Love PRIME TIME! Cannot wait! We are getting Prime in the START OF HIS PRIME as a coach....this could be just utterly ridiculous based on his values, recruiting and dedication to the kids....Holy Shit!!!
One thing, that defense is gonna be unbelievable
Always been a big fan of prime time. As an FSU fan I think we dropped the ball on this one. Norvell is a good coach, but man the sky is the limit with coach prime. Talk about injecting some excitement into a program! Good job Colorado!
He'll be next at FSU if he can elevate Colorado. It's not a destination job
Prime only had 1 season of coaching when the FSU job came open. So it’s hard to offer a big time coaching job to a man that only had 1 year of college coaching experience. But looking back on it, it’s easy to second guess.
Way to go Deion Sanders, I’m proud to see you elevated to make change for the good of all.
I love listening to Deion a man on a mission with that drive I know will succeed. He genuinely cares about making an impact on these kids lives and that's a powerful thing. A lot of coaches just want to win games.
I like how Deion always puts God in every speech
@LaDeya Ivy if he really would of cared about God he would of stayed at Jackson State and continue to empower the lives of young Black man and continue to bring them exposure to NFL scouts.
But no, instead he chased the money. 💰💰💰
That’s one reason I follow him. Not so much for football but his faith, inspiration and ability to motivate. He’s a well rounded man ❤
Obsessed Broncos fan here and new CU fan. I'm hella excited for this team. Shit I stood up and started clapping like I was in the damn press room my self, forgetting I'm in San Diego 😅😭. In college it's all about recruiting and he's one hell of a recruiter. Just ask me and my granny. We're heading to the portal now.💪😂
"The same thing that causes you to shine will show your blemishes as well."
The things this man says really blow me away.
You either live up to the light of GOD and get expose by your weakness in sin. That's what he means
Deion is going to build something nice at Colorado.
It’s ain’t sad they fucking suck! Bring and keep the good players from leaving the state!!
And soon as he does,they will fire him and hire a white coach so he can get all the credit
Coach Prime makes me want to run through a wall! Love this guy
A reinforced cinder block wall. 😁😁😁
@james doe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😍
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😍
A double brick wall …..
I’m 33 , sports fanatic. & I swear ya G!, that was the best damn press conference I’ve ever seen, Start to finish
Congratulations to Coach Prine to the all the players involved and to Colorado University
Rooting for you coach prime ❤🏔️
VOLS fan!Been a Deion fan for soooo many years and as a teen wore the stew out of my cowboys jersey in the 90s!we may not see a coach with this attitude in a very very longtime!Respect Colorado!!!Congrats on getting this amazing person including player!Yall are blessed to have a diamond in the rough.Goodluck in the near future with this man!AND PLEASE sell your stadium out for this guy!!!
I love it! Prime is crazy !😂
Man, Prime has those Colorado boosters and media eating out the palm of his hand 😂 such a great speaker and motivator! Can’t wait to see what he does for Colorado
Welcome Coach Prime ..We waited a long time for this .here in Colorado 🎉🎉🏈🏆
It's crazy, I was heavily recruited in 1994-95 by Colorado coach Cabral, I walked the campus with Rashaan Salaam, Eric Bieniemy and Kordel Stewart.
I unfortunately ended up in Mississippi Jackson St for a semester before I walked away from the sport and opportunity.
But it's crazy to see prime coaching a both Schools I had interest in...
Rashaan Salaam was my only NFL jersey and I have no regrets.
@Dee Robinson politricks, let's say I burned a bridge that shouldn't have, and being big headed because I was 225 6'1 ran 4.40 40 I figured I'd be wherever I wanted.
Then life happened... I was actually enlisted in the US Army infantry Air Bourne ranger before just not going last minute when my foster brother Tyree Washington talked me into Jackson St...
Lol, I grew up across the street from Willie McGinest, I got moved around from Long Beach to Riverside because foster care, so I know quite a few SoCal names of my time,
Pat Johnson, Brian Howard, Chris Claiborne, RJ Sower, David Dotson, and a few I probably forgot, but I was one of CIF top 100 recruits in 1995, but destroyed my career early.
And it sucks because Colorado at the time was a perfect fit because I went both ways running back and linebacker, I would of excelled in Boulder but life...
Lol I got all daughters and only one always tries racing me to win and gets mad, she may be my speedster foreal but she's only 9.
But yes I had a good path, just not the best around me, and I didn't come from a good place. So 🤷
You had Rashaan Salaam, Eric Bieniemy and Kordel Stewart, three of the best buff players of all time recruit you and you still walked away?
Congrats Coach Prime looking forward to next season
Damn; the more I listen to this guy, the more I love him! Family man, strong male role model, follower of Christ, and a dang good coach - what more could we ask for? Hey, coach prime; I might be 5‘4“ tall, 150 pounds, and 53 years old, but I’m ready to run through a brick wall for you - where do I sign up? Lol!
😂😂😂😂
I'm so excited!! Seriously this is amazing! I'm more excited to go to a buffs game then a Broncos game now
I’m very very happy for this opportunity for you coach Prime
I am a die hard miss. state fan, I will be following Colorado and excited to see what they will do next year
Watch out Pac 12 Colorado is coming. Glad to see Coach Prime get this opportunity God call him to Colorado and he will definitely change that program around.
Coach prime!!!! A TRUE definition of a REAL MAN.... Congrats man, u deserve the best!!!
Congrats on your promotion Coach Prime! Go get em!!
Look what God has done 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m soo happy for Coach prime 🔥🔥🔥 let’s gooo Unc
I just laced up my cleats....congrats to a true legend
Love the move! Prime will do great things there
Deion is a great motivator
Guys in the LEAGUE who were babies or not even BORN when Sanders played relate to Coach Prime.
Can you imagine the recruiting power he'll have at CU with their facilities and resources over what he had at JSU ?
MAAAANNN 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well deserved. Coach Prime I wish you the best.
Man. Would run through a fucking brick wall for this guy. He’s not only gonna make CU great, he’s going to change how the country views football in Colorado. This hire is going to impact THOUSANDS of people. He’s right about one thing. God is GREAT!
You have my support! Give your best, and support and encourage the person walking next to you to be their best.🥰 LIVE FORWARD!✊🏾💯
He is a talented coach. No denying that!
Congrats! Prime you’ve put Central MS on the map and you deserve this!
He is a really good speaker Deion is gonna make a change at Colorado for sure:) imma bama fan but I'm rooting for this program to turn around!
Congrats Coach Prime! Makes us Proud!
Deon will be an incredible blessing to so many! All glory be to God 👆🏻🙏🏼
Not a fan of collage ball but damn just listening to coach Prime made me a Colorado fan 🤘🏼
Wow! Coach Prime is great!!! That press conference warmed my heart. Im a Colorado Buffalo fan now.
This was a great decision. There will be a lot of haters, but the reality is that the haters do not pay the bills. Also, that is the problem with many people; they fail to progress and be happy for those who do. Elevating your mind elevates your life.
Im a Gator fan. But I will most definitely be keeping my eyes on Buffalo out there in the PAC-12 to see this growth.
Proud of u Coach Prime 🤞🏽❤️
This man is a incredible human being
Congratulations Coach Prime! God is good! We wish you nothing but the best! To God be all the glory!
This is the best thing to happen to CU Football in 30 years! Chills
This seems to be genuine appreciation for what they have...
Genuine?
Man, Colorado is finally taking Football seriously. I'm rooting for the Buffs.
I have never cared about a new coach press conference but I had to see this bc of Prime and I watched the whole thing. It's hard not to pay attention to a HOF DB Goat and winning coach. Can't wait!
Well said 🎯. The whole sports is watching. 💯
As an Oregon I’m happy for you guy’s 🦆
Thank you duck fan! To quote neon deion.... we comin'!! Hahaha can't wait to see the buffs at autzen!!!!! Goin' to be lit!!!
Iowa fan AND Colorado fan as I used to live in Boulder and my brother went to school at CU. I don’t see any negatives to this situation whatsoever. This man motivates like few people I have ever witnessed. For the first time since the mid 90’s I am actually jealous of Colorado’s football program over Iowa’s!😂 When I first learned about the possibility of Coach Sanders coming to Boulder, I didn’t think it was going to happen mostly based on knowing the culture of the city. I’m a God fearing man and my love for God was absolutely not appreciated or respected while living there and people let me know it. But hearing how confident and open Deion is, lol, yeah I don’t think he’s going to pay any attention to the haters. This guy is going to make people respect him whether they want to give it to him or not lol. So that tells me he is going to recruit at an extremely high level and be able to build a national powerhouse in the time that he chooses to stay there. Imagine a high profile recruit trying to tell Coach Sanders “No thank you” while he is sitting in that recruit’s living room…😂. Yeah if he wants somebody it’s very simple: Coach Sanders will get them. This part of the message is for Coach Sanders personally: Glad to see you lead these Buffs to national prominence again but please don’t touch any of my Iowa Hawkeye recruits we need them! Lol. Also Coach Prime I have to disagree with you on one thing you said. There absolutely IS crime in Boulder believe me on that lol! Yes lock your doors at night. You’re about to see more homeless panhandlers on every Boulder corner than you have probably ever seen except for downtown Los Angeles, Portland, or maybe Seattle. Boulder is home for the elite wealthy and for the elite panhandler lol. I wish nothing but the best for Buff nation and Coach Prime.
