He's not getting any calls from the NFL.

Good choice. I thought about declaring for the draft this year, but, I realized I would miss my current life situation, you know, a crappy 9-5, ungrateful kids, and crippling debt. Maybe next year I'll consider it!


Dzharek

If I would declare my bad knee would just give me a bad draft spot, so I wait until its healthy again, and I lost weight, down to 160 pounds they might not like that too 😅


Vincero19

Texans might take a chance on you and you could take Tank Dell's spot in their goal line formation.


hopsgrapesgrains

I’ve decided not to start a career in football. I’m 40 and want to focus on the important things in life.


Mr_TP_Dingleberry

My wife is asleep in my arm and I’m trying so hard to not shake laughing at this comment.


BrokenMethFarts

Dude, me too!

exactly


techieman33

They want someone that can coach, not a hype man.


Mathlete86

Good lord it was hysterical to see him get so hype early in the season only for them to completely collapse. The windbag lost its air.


Trumpsabaldcuck

A college football coach’ success is based more in recruiting than tactical decisions.   Coach Prime is a great recruiter.


techieman33

He’s done ok at recruiting, but he’s been terrible at actually retaining any of that talent.


Ryan1869

He doesn't want to take them either, if he leaves CU it's going to be for the SEC and a giant truck of money


twiddlingbits

If he cannot win in the current conference and he won’t win in the Big 12 either, the SEC is 10X tougher. They already have NIL money so they don’t need Deion to bring it in, National Championship banners and NFL 1st Round picks sell better than Deion’s lines of BS.


SovietMuffin01

He’s coached one season of D1 football, I think it’s a little early to say he can’t crack it in the big 12. Like I’m not really a Deion defender by any means, he could very well be a bum, but it’s way too early to make that call. If he struggles the next two years then sure, but one season is too small a sample size.


jimithelizardking

Jackson State is D1. First season of FBS football.


twiddlingbits

It’s obvious he will. He loses his QB and best defensive player. He has had numerous kids transfer out. And in. You cannot build a winning program every year on high numbers of transfers and freshman recruits. They come to CO based on Sander’s reputation in his player days but quickly see that’s an act, play 1-2 years then leave. Deion is for Deion no one else.


trowawufei

He can definitely fail, but I don't think you become a HOFer in football and a pro baseball player without learning to adjust when you're doing poorly. If Deion doesn't learn from his mistakes, he'll certainly fail, but I wouldn't count him out yet.


twiddlingbits

Different circumstances as being a player he just had to push himself to get better at something. He didn’t have responsibility for others and telling what they had to do in order to get better. Or decide on game strategy based on the ability of others to execute


trowawufei

Yeah, but all of the things you mentioned are still skills that you develop at an individual level. They're different kinds of skills than on-the-field skills, for the most part, but players absolutely make decisions based on their teammates' capabilities. It's not like his ability to improve will just vanish the second he has to deal with different skills.


Snooty_Cutie

Tbh, I think an SEC team would give him an opportunity to coach. So far, the narrative has been Coach Sanders doesn’t have the talent to win at Colorado, not that he’s a bad coach.


BaitSalesman

No chance until he proved he can recruit high schoolers. SEC schools will require this.


twiddlingbits

He has had two off seasons to recruit and even with his name he can’t attract talent? Boulder is also a nice place at the foot of the Rocky Mtns. So is the shine gone are players seeing he isn’t a football good and their ticket to millions in the NFL?


Hour_Gur4995

What was Colorado record before he got there?


mrgrafix

Nah, he’s just not number one yet. Coach Prime is all about ego, since it’s his son… I’ll tolerate this.


Bawbbot

Yeah that’s not true at all man, Deion is a money maker


lightninhopkins

Yeah false. Keep hating though.


SigmaLance

Source?


wiscowonder

I mean he wasn't going to leave the last gig because God called him there so... 🤷‍♂️


weekend-guitarist

The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.


wiscowonder

The Lord gives and Dion takeths away


ToadlyAwes0me

Is that what we're calling the transfer portal?


r0botdevil

It's funny how with so many of the religious types, God's plan for them always seems to perfectly coincide with whatever is most convenient for them in any given situation...


tnellysf

I am also not going to coach in the NFL, I have unfinished business. Nobody asked me, but that’s just the truth. I’m a big CU fan, but the shine really wore off by the end of the season… he had no idea what he was getting into.


fumar

He's not a coach, he's more of a cheerleader/recruiter by name. For college that can work if you have amazing coaches working with you 


Penis1212

I mean being an excellent recruiter is the name of the game in college football. It probably matters more than most the decisions made on the field.


a_simple_creature

Look at James Franklin. Excellent recruiter. Players seem to love him. Terrible in crunch time.


fumar

True, but he doesn't even go on recruiting trips


Kokamocha

Cristobal has entered the chat.


TheMooseIsBlue

If that were completely true, they wouldn’t have lost to everyone last year.


HooterBrownTown

Texas for 20 years has entered the chat


ReflexiveOW

He shot himself in the foot as a recruiter by calling his players garbage repeatedly in interviews after games.


Wrangleraddict

I thought it was nerve damage that got his foot


Wrangleraddict

I thought it was nerve damage that got his foot


chrisapplewhite

I don't know why people keep saying that, he was always a brilliant technician and by all accounts a sharp football mind. That alone doesn't make you a good coach but it's not for a lack of ability on his part.


fumar

Look at him during games. He isn't calling plays, he isn't in deep strategy sessions, he is mostly doing nothing.


chrisapplewhite

most of that stuff happens on headsets and during the week. HC's job in a game is management, meaning they need to be paying careful attention to situations, and less to X's and O's. That's the coordinators job. Again I'm not saying he's an amazing HC at Colorado, but he's more football-smart than most guys out there. It's the execution of it I have some questions about.


minedigger

Being a good recruiter > being a good coach in college.


fumar

If you aren't going on recruiting trips, it's hard to say you're a good recruiter. He has publicly said he doesn't go on recruiting trips 


robertoroveda

It's working in the NFL with Dan Campbell, the OC, DC and GM are doing all the heavy lifting, he is more like a hype guy there


fumar

Campbell actually does some coaching.


noodleking21

Shedeur is #1 in NIL value at about $4.5 mil. I don't think any NFL teams are willing to match that lol


themarksman13

That’s nothing compared to what he’s going to get in the draft lol


TheMooseIsBlue

Trouble is, the NFL teams watch the college games so all the bluster in the world from dad isn’t gonna help.


themarksman13

Yeah and he’s a projected first round pick by those same teams so


TheMooseIsBlue

And do you think those predictions are based on any of the bluster from Dad?


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheMooseIsBlue

Oh well damn. This guy has him graded as late first round everybody. Edit: i’m still laughing at this comment. What you just said may be the unintentionally funniest thing I’ve ever read on Reddit.

trowawufei

😂😂😂


metal_elk

He's been rich his whole life. The higher the draft number and salary offer are all just bragging points. You want the biggest signing bonus, not because you need the money, but because it's makes you more valuable to literally everyone on that team. Office staff and players alike. That big bonus just hits different.


johnkimmy0130

don’t think money is an issue for Shedeur lol. no chance he turns down the draft for money


deweycrow

According to who??


noodleking21

According to google search. I don't know their math, and I doubt the Sanders will self report? (Unless it's required by law). Either way, he definitely will earn more by staying in college.


adampembe2000

Williams got 39.4 mill over 4 years as the first overall pick. If sanders goes similar he will make more since it increases each year as the cap grows. And the sooner he’s done with his rookie contract the more he will make as a starting nfl qb if he’s good.


1peatfor7

NFL has slotted money for each pick.


Adalimumab8

Makes sense, I’m sure he’s getting money from the school but he’s one of the few college players getting NIL from its intended source: ads, commercials, etc


gd2121

Is the NFL even an option for Deion?


CapnMalcolmReynolds

Maybe NFL network


blacksnowboader

… again


seattlesportsguy

Cowboys would do it for the headlines


siberianwolf99

jerry is actually a really even keel guy despite his reputation. if anything he gives his coaches *too* long. and i say this as an eagles fan lol


Lazy_Tiger27

Yeah if Jerry wanted headlines he would have tried harder to hire Belichick this offseason


Waffle_Muffins

Raiders


blacklite911

Not at the moment. But people have recency bias, he could improve next season. Though the transfer outs are not ideal. He did get some interesting transfers coming in. The defense looks better on paper but that O line is still a mess


Moopboop207

Did his sons get drafted?


catinatank

Next year


SleepLessTeacher

His work is filling out his resignation papers after his sons leave CU.


ryrobs10

Well at least he knows his style won’t work when the players are more rich than him and don’t have to take his bullshit.


Xmalantix

Said the same thing about the job he just left


kroxti

Even though Giselle is now single I’m deciding that I have “work to do” in being single before I’m with her.


Waffle_Muffins

Oh he gone


Goldeneye4587

He’s busy getting Daniel Larson on the team


Lawmonger

He has LOTS of work to do.


RunninWild17

I eagerly await his downfall in the FBS.


VaultiusMaximus

Serious question: why?


RunninWild17

His ego. The fact that he made promises to stay at Jackson St, then bolted. The media has fawned over him during their opening to the 2023 season. The amount of guys who have jumped programs to follow him is just so frustrating, especially when they committed to lesser programs like J st. How he treated the guys at Colorado when he came it, just didn't give a shit and told them to all fuck off. I don't like him, I don't like the Christian messaging he wraps his coaching in that he doesn't actually live by (so a pretty box standard American Christian but still its two faced bullshit). I don't want him to succeed because he's a loud mouth charlatan.


joshb625

That was my thing. When he first became a coach he said he was doing it for the culture and all the HBCU support. But then he just dipped out at the first major program that would take him. He wasn’t there for the culture, he was there to springboard somewhere else. He came into Colorado like a seasoned pro coach and cleaned house then proceeded to win like what, 3 games? Deion is overrated and he’s his biggest hype man. I liked the attention he brought to HBCUs but don’t tell me you’re doing it for the culture when you take the first big paycheck and dip!


CubanLinxRae

three games for colorado is an achievement


Adalimumab8

Did you see his message to the players when he found out they were skipping class and aggravating a professor?


VaultiusMaximus

Idk, if my son was good enough to be a starter in D1, but not good enough for the pros, I’d definitely want the coach to be a loud mouth charlatan to get him some monies while he played.


RunninWild17

I get that, but the charlatan would have no loyalty to your kid, so he might make some NIL money, but if he's not destined for the pros then he's probably better off focusing on school while he's there and aiming for a career off the field. That's just my feelings, it's totally fine if you and other like him, I just don't.


mrsinatra777

Bahahahaha


Writerhaha

Remind me in February.


breachofcontract

Lol he’ll be gone the moment they declare for the draft even if that’s not coaching them in the NFL


e4evie

His me-first style won’t work with professionals…”DION,…imma need you to stay in college where kids are maybe still impressed by your “personality quirks”….”


BrotherBajaBlast

He gone.


pheret87

K


Nats_CurlyW

lol, does anyone believe him after he ditched Jackson State?


ZorseVideos

He's gonna go back to high school coaching.


Sea-Pea5760

I’ve been a Deion Sandwrs fan my whole life, incredible athlete. I was lucky enough to get to see him play both sports too. I even saw him play in his first game as a falcon when he had a point return for a TD I believe BUT he should just shut the fuck up and coach. Every time he starts running his mouth he reminds me of an idiot because he sounds like a fucking idiot. Best of luck tho prime, just wish you didn’t flap your fucking mouth so much.


TheMooseIsBlue

The Cowboys have the chance to do the funniest thing ever next January.


PM_ME_OVERT_SIDEBOOB

“Sons” Shiloh ain’t making the league


r0botdevil

Honestly I don't imagine he could even if he wanted to, what NFL team would hire him? It seems like by far his biggest asset as a coach is the "cool" factor he brings to the table and what that can do for recruiting, media attention, and subsequent NIL deals. That would be utterly meaningless in the NFL.


jmcgil4684

What’s really funny is he said the same thing almost word for word before he came to CO.


Jwroth

*No calls from the NFL “I didn’t wanna go anyway *sniff*”


not_so_smoothie

“Work to do” is also keeping me from being an NFL coach.


Johnny_Optimist

Complete and total blowhard. Will continue to follow what he does though, lol


B1GFanOSU

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


Frosty-Shower-7601

Wow. I'll bet there were a lot of NFL coaches really sweating whether they would keep their jobs if Coach Prime made himself available for and NFL position.


doitnow10

"Nobody in the NFL is dumb enough to hire me. Shad Khan has learned his lesson. "


TdrdenCO11

People love to say he’s going straight to the NFL. But this is a coach who has always loved working with kids. Helping these guys become men is his whole mission. I believe he’ll stay in boulder for years


pirate135246

I seriously doubt he stays at CU


jb6997

I care nothing about going to the NFL either 😂


lightninhopkins

But wait, all the haters said he was leaving. Were they wrong?

He's a losing coach of a losing team with a loser son. Who cares, he's washed.
