You can’t argue with the drastic improvement over the last couple of years.

He’s doing something right.

I just don’t understand this line of thinking? Don’t see how you can say this with the current state of affairs in recruiting. Especially if you want to compete at a high level.

Our answer isn’t the portal heavy Deion way. But it IS the pay the best players at key positions out of HS way. If we can’t see that and adapt, we’ll perish

Nov 13, 2024, 1:23 PM

Dabo s openly anti portal and has NEVER tried to get a lot of portal players.

He whiffed on the handful of scholly guys he's ever tried with the single exception of one guy coming back from NW as a grad student/backup.

Whatever he's did isn't in the same planet with "tried".

Let his kids and hunter leave and lets see where they are. Maybe it is working but they are his 3 best players.

Re: 7-2, results arent any better than ours. Not sure I


Nov 13, 2024, 4:57 AM

DW nor TL were dabos kids. My point is his 2 star players were not as hard to recruit when you have paid their way for 20 years. He might can keep it rolling after but I do not believe he will be able to. When he ran all those kids off his first year he burned LOTS of hs bridges.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Is that a backhanded way to say...


Nov 13, 2024, 1:25 PM

That Dabo has no chance of leaving Clemson because HIS kids are on the staff?

Ya ever notice that the fathers who coach their kids in Little League usually stop coaching when their kids stop playing? Neon has no interest in coaching anyone except his kids and he will leave Colorado when his kids leave. Neon is interested in the welfare of Neon......nothing more, nothing less.

2025 purple level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Little League dads aren't generally NFL HOF guys.

Nov 13, 2024, 8:55 AM

The don't typically get $5.7 annually.
Coach Sanders does. He's reportedly the 4th highest paid coach in CFB.
Deion has no reason to leave the Buffs, barring the NFL offering him a HC job.

He will reload with more talent

They are already working on flipping 5* QB Julian Lewis. They will also add more talent in the portal. Don't think they are going away as long as Deion is there.

Yep they have the best player in college football. Curious as well as to what will happen after they leave.

Got Hunter and his 2 sons a payday so I believe he is happy.

lol, where were Colorado and Deion 2 years ago?


Nov 13, 2024, 3:05 AM [ in reply to 7-2, results arent any better than ours. Not sure I ]

Colorado was going 1-11 and Deion was at Jackson St. Not a big fan of Deion’s approach, but what he’s doing appears to be working at the moment.

It's coming next year. Mark your calendar and report back 11/13/25. I guess there's always the chance he runs from Colorado after this season.

Can't blame him, if I'm paying a freshman to come to my team, he better show up ready to play at a high level, or his next check could get lost in the mail!!!

If Trevor Lawrence, CJ, Sammy, and most of the Clemson greats were coming out of High School in this era.
Someone was going to pay for their services!

And being paid would not have made them bad character guys.

Coach prime will be irrelevant after this season....his entire offense hinges on two players. Both will be gone and I suspect, Deion Sanders along with them

This. FULL STOP


He will also bail on a program for the "next best thing". So at best you are renting him for a few years. He is all about Deion, always has been always will be.

2025 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The Colorado team and fans...

Nov 13, 2024, 8:13 AM

Disagree.

Deion has engineered a remarkable turnaround for that program.
From 1-11 to bowl eligible in only 1 & 2/3 seasons.

Speculation about next year doesn't change that.

No denying that he can recruit, mine the portal, and Coach his team up. Those guys have a serious work ethic.

Replacing Hunter and his son's? Chances are that he will find good replacements, since we're speculating.

Re: The Colorado team and fans...

There is no replacing Hunter. He is a game changer on offense and defense.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Replacing Hunter.

Nov 13, 2024, 8:58 AM

Not with one guy. He's one of a kind. If there are 2 guys that can replace his roles, Deion will likely find them.

Team sport, yanno?

#### sounds like we are doing just as good as the team spending millions. Thanks Bluff for clearing that up as well!!

Bonus though we actually have kids that want to be at Clemson. Go figure!

Dabo is doing one #### of a job with little investment.

Emphasis on "####".


Nov 13, 2024, 4:20 PM

We got killed by the only two teams we played.

The Buffa have one bad loss and a very close loss to a ranked team.

Deion didn't just have 5 decommits in barely a week, either.

Because facts.
