Neon Deon possibly to USF

Not a chance he’d be crazy to go to that graveyard

 

That would be a really weird move.

 

Interesting. My immediate reaction was the opposite. His Florida connection and his recruiting upside would be better leveraged in Tampa vs Boulder IMO. Just my thoughts.

 

Wish he'd go to Colorado! Heard that was an option. Prolly hates the cold! Man, I'd love to see that program get some momentum. Love the Buffs. That was my other school choice for college. Glad I picked UF. Colorado is still the Number one party skool. Ha!

Go Gators.

 

I wonder if he will take that player that jilted FSU.

 

Fantastic move for Deion.

Low pressure G5 school. Will recruit the hell out of second level Florida athletes and land a 4 and 5 star kid every other year.
He can hone his coaching skills for his eventual move to FSU.
Will help them build their new stadium. The house that Deion built.
USF can dominate the AAC with UCF and Cincinnati moving to the Big12 next year.

 

Yes and his son giving them a stud on O and D right off the bat.

 

These are the schools that will be in the AAC

The University of Alabama at Birmingham – Birmingham, Alabama

Florida Atlantic University – Boca Raton, Florida

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte – Charlotte, North Carolina

The University of North Texas – Denton, Texas

Rice University – Houston, Texas

The University of Texas at San Antonio – San Antonio, Texas

The six universities will join the nine continuing members – East Carolina, Memphis, Navy (football only), South Florida, SMU, Temple, Tulane, Tulsa and Wichita State (basketball and Olympic sports only) - to bring The American’s membership to 15 schools. The American will compete as a 14-team league in football and in men’s and women’s basketball, among other sports.

USF at The Swamp

 

I thought he was all in where he was at because it was about more than money.

 

I'm gonna let the rumors play out first because he may stay where he's at but leaving for USF should hurt his integrity after all his "who is SWAC" bit and 60 minutes interview. Now he was open about entertaining offers when bigger schools come calling but I think it would make him seem pretty damn disingenuous if he were to leave this early into his coaching career to make that jump.

 

He saw those Neon highlighter uniforms last week and thought they fit his brand.

 

To be fair, this is a bigger school/program/market and outside of FSU he wont get many offers from a big time program.

I think this is a smart move. USF should never be this bad and he will probably look like the next Scott Frost when he turns them around.

 

Did you see the graveyard he’s currently at?

 

What a horrible conference. Deion will dominate it day one.

 

I think he’ll pull in more than that, every other year. Which is what worries me.

 

Yep.
Stay for 3/4 yrs then make the move to FSU when Norvell levels off.

 

Did you watch his 60 minutes interview? That doesn't really matter when you claim you are trying to bring HBCUs to light and not give in to the established universities. I would agree with your assessment if he was just a coach moving up the ranks but that isn't how he marketed himself.

 

I was being conservative. I didn't want to overstate my position.
