Deion Sanders recruiting looklist

Wants his QB to have two parents, and be smart. And his linemen to be poor and raised by single parents.
 
Reincarnation of Donald Trump. You don’t have to say everything that comes into your head. Trump ran the country well but couldn’t keep his mouth shut leading to his downfall. If Prime keeps this up it doesn’t matter how good a coach he is. He will fail just the same.
 
Local sports radio in Denver is all over Prime. Bowl game 1st year, 9+ wins 2nd year and in the playoffs by his 3rd is what they've been spouting. I've got news for Buffs fans - a much better recruiting and transfer haul will get them to a bowl (if Prime & co. can actually, you know, coach). But the chasm between their roster and OSU, GA, Bama, LSU, et al is still extremely large. No way in hell he takes what was probably the worst team in D-1 last year to the playoffs (top 12) in 3 years. He isn't that good. Not sure anyone is.

He's all about Prime. No one with any sense at all believes he'll stay in CO more than 3 years if he's at all successful. No telling what his ultimate goal is, though - NFL, elite P5 program?
 
Can you imagine the backlash if Kirby or Stoops said something like that.
That’s what I was thinking. I don’t really care that he said those things if that’s how he feels. But we all know a Caucasian coach could not get away with that.

5 or 6 yrs ago the Stanford coach (who just quit) bragged that there probably wasn't more than 1 football player in each SEC state who would even academically qualify at his school

As a minority himself, he wasn't crushed for his blatant racist remark towards the large African-American hs football population of the southeast USA.

At the time a highly successful minority coach. Oh well, it is what it is. Things are better but still not where they need to be.
 
Not me Deion if you don’t have 18 tattoos and gold grillz I don’t want you on my football team.
 
And obviously he knows there’s a limited amount of quality OL and DL out there and doesn’t really care where they come from background wise. He’s just talkin’ with the dudes.

SEC state means black? He didn’t mention a race, you did. LOL at you want to be offended by everything folks complaining about the wanting to be offended by everything folks. Y’all’s are all the same, anything to show fake outrage.
 
I think Deion is going to win there, but these comments speak to a really privileged as well as ignorant mindset

He didn't say it meant black. He said the player base was largely black.

Speaking of fake outrage....
 
I think it was an inelegant way to say, for a QB we need someone who is much smarter and more mature than his peers, while defensive lineman don't necessarily need those qualities. With that position, we need brawn & rage, so we widen the cohort from where we look for those athletes. A coach probably should not be speaking like that, as it is certainly in poor taste, though in business it is similar. I want my CEO to be very smart, mature etc, while my sledge hammer guy, needs more physical tools and brains are less important for that job.

the ignorance in his comments is attributing IQ and leadership qualities to how many parents someone has. It's incredibly stupid
 
F David Shaw...failure. the only thing worst than his coaching as the Harbaugh talent left is the fact Stanford didn't care enough to fire him. The 2 point nonsense in overtimes is his brilliant plan.

Good riddance
 
I want my offensive lineman to come into my office, dressed in Khakis and a tucked in polo, wait to be seated, open their bag to get notebook and pen before saying “hello sir, I’m an offensive tackle. I’d like to take some notes on the 5 step drop pass protection scheme.”

I want my defensive lineman to come into the office, boots and jeans (both dirty), sit down with his spit bottle, put his feet up on the desk, and say “hey coach, I play Dline. When do we start hittin people?”

I think both are then very moldable to be coached to what we need from there.

Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.

Deion was just making a joke. Everybody wears their feelings and opinions on the shoulders now. They should make everybody go back and watch the old comedians like Pryor, Sanford, Rickles, Dangerfield. All of this woke and diversity crap has ruined any hope that people can just make fun of people and their circumstances.
 
This Sunday, my pastor says d from the pulpit that Deion is catching flak for being an outspoken Christian. I was like LOL. He's catching a ton of flak, but I haven't heard that in the laundry list of gripes.
 
Such a soft world we live in

Who cares about a clear tongue in cheek joke. I mean the damn man’s own son wouldn’t fit the mold….

This world really sucks. Can we please go back to…. Sanity?
 
Sanders kicking players out of workouts for not wearing the right socks and making coaches do wind sprints. Wonder if Stoops does any of that kind of stuff?

30 years ago I knew we were doomed. I was coaching a YMCA rec league tball team of 4 year olds. It was the only league for kids thar young. First game my kid ripped one up the middle and busted the pitchers nose. Next week they make only my kid hit a foam ball that literally would blow backwards after he hit it HARD. I threw a fit. The rule stood. Those are the same kids we hear crying today about the dumbest stuff. They were never challenged, never faced adversity and the world was nerfed at every turn. I dont think it was an accident.
