    Not many head coaches disrespect their boss and still have a job. Maybe deon can tech his boss how to talk.

    I'm breathing a sigh of relief. We did not need him in the state.

    Seems like a very strange move for him but like others have said at least hes not in our backyard.

    He didn’t get the Cincy offer then.

    May have been his best option as I don’t think Cincy was on the table. He hinted that he had other offers, but I’m not sure that was USF.

    If he can recruit well at Colorado, he can win in that conference. Boulder is a nice town to boot.

    Kind off the subject, but was talking to one of my friends who owned a
    bar/restaurant in Scranton back in the day. It was called Farley's (doesn't
    exist anymore). Its known locally as the site of Jason Miller's (Father Karras in
    the Exorcist) death.

    Primetime was playing for the Columbus Clippers (Yank's AAA club) and he stopped into Farley's for lunch. Billy immediately recognized him. He said Deion was super
    nice to his staff, etc. Before he left, Deion told his waiter that he had lost a tooth.
    Billy went over and brought him back to the kitchen and they looked through the
    bus buckets for it. Deion spotted it, and without rinsing it stuck it back in.

    He thanked everyone and went on his way.

    Now back to our regularly schedule programming....

    Colorado's problem for the last 20 years has been their admin being afraid of the NCAA coming to town again, in this new era of cheat as much as you can, he could do really well there, and it's a better place to get to his next step in the NFL.

    Only because the PAC-12 is down and will be without USC and UCLA. They should be able to recruit Texas and California based on geography and Florida based on Deion.

    Word is USF will hire Tennessee OC Alex Golesh.

    In other words, who?

    Not sure why everyone is letting him off the hook for his whole HBCU “it’s about more than money” shtick. He just convinced the best player in the country last year that he should skip playing at a major program, possibly at his own detriment as far as developing and getting recognition for the NFL and his future, in order to push black support of HBCU’s. I know the kid can transfer just as easily as Deion can leave but it still screams BS that he took the first offer for a bigger time job and ran.

    Contrast Deion’s exit with Napier’s exit…
