OMG!

UCLA may want to look a little deeper into who they recruit.

Has the shine worn off of Prime yet? The hype was nauseous earlier this yr

I am a Prime fan, but the hype was ridiculous. I didn’t even hear an advertisement for last night’s game so I am guessing most of it has died off. It will be funny to compare tv ratings from these last couple to the early season ones.

Fox is in a ratings war with ESPN. Prime is a very marketable commodity. Fox was shoving Prime down our throats after that first win against TCU. Its all about ratings.

with that 5 star recruit de-commiting, i think “prime” has one more year. sure, CU will keep him for 4 or 5 but if he goes 4-8 next year, there will be enough disbelief that its going to be a hard road to the top.

If Prime leaves Colorado, it’s because his sons are no longer there.

It may also be because he just isn’t getting it done. He’s killing his own hype machine.

It’s already gotten old for the general public and I know MANY Colorado fans have grown tired of the circus.

QB Sanders has been mocked for a year as a top 5 pick.
I don’t know how NFL GM’s view him but leaving the field early, throwing his teammates under the bus, etc.

Those are not the leadership skills they look for
.unless he changes his ways and matures I could see NFL teams passing on him.

At this point it is looking like a dumpster fire:

  • Prime turns it around
  • Prime leaves on his own after this season
  • Prime gets fired

Why would he leave on his own and leave all the buy-out money.

It’s more likely to be “by mutual agreement” and he might negotiate the buy-out to move on to a better situation. I’m not convinced that he REALLY wants to be a head coach when his kids aren’t playing - not sure he’s ever tried that.

I just looked up his contract and if he got fired after this season Colorado would owe him 75% of his remaining contract including base and supplementals. That would be somewhere between $12M and 15$M. I would sure take that to go away.

Colorado will not fire prime irrespective of his record. He has pumped millions into that program.

He will walk away on his own volition.
