I don't understand the "no hats" rule.
Why do we hate hats?

I don't understand why he's telling them they will not be allowed to wear hats in team meetings while he is wearing a hat in his first team meeting.

It's an old school thing not wearing hats inside. I had a prof at A&M who wouldn't let us wear hats in class. And Deion already said going forward there won't be any hats, hoodies, headphones, etc in meetings. He had a hat on that was given to him for his press conference. I doubt you will see that again from him. I swear some of you are just looking for something for which you can criticize him.

No Hats was the only takeaway? wow.

It's called building a team,

No hats....(as he's wearing a hat).

Has cameras rolling for his first introduction to his team.

Basically accuses them of taking their position for granted.

Essentially names his son as the starting quarterback.

Great example!

The first 20 seconds stuck out to me…I didn't catch his name, but whoever is introducing Deion says "I've gotten to know him over the last month or so." They never admit it, but we all know these coaching changes take time, and they're talking in the background to another school while coaching their own team. Lincoln Riley was a great example, he told the media he first spoke to USC after Bedlam. That was BS and everybody knew it. USC couldn't put together that offer package in 48 hours, that was going on behind the scenes for 6+ weeks or more. This clip just kinda proves that. Just thought it was interesting….

Brian Kelly did it better.

If you allow hats, you'll blink and they'll be sporting arm sleeves in cold weather. Give 'em an inch...

OP…PHRASING…

Here's why he left. Skip to 7:40 of his announcement to the JS team that he was leaving.

I count six ball caps and a beanie...

He obviously lost control of the program.

yep, I can remember in the 70s and 80s it was normal to remove a hat indoors.

Definitely removed a hat in the MSC

I hope they keep using "I'm coming" as the team motto. The memes will be incredible.

obviously you didnt watch the video. He said Im coming a bunch of times and it was the takeaway he wanted for the players.

Like when I get back, you better be ready to work

Prior to his arrival, Jackson State was just a place to play football.

Sanders arrived and you can see all of the P5 transfers he took in. He drafted a little better than Jackson State had done, including convincing the #1 player (a CB) in the country to play there.

Sanders had success at Jackson St getting players that were far better than the FCS teams generally get.

He will be looking for a different kind of player for CU than he was Jackson St. The shine and luster of the "I'm coming" schtick will wear off quickly.

God did not ordain him to coach Colorado and his whole "Divine appointment" schtick is offensive.

How much you want to bet CU is over .500 next season and contending for the conference title in two years?

In a speech at Jackson state he tells his team no slides to class, while he is wearing slides lol

He also said no wife beaters, no cutoffs, and they have to sit in front of the class. He wants his players held to a high standard since they represent the football team.

Respect, how you carry yourself, etc...

When he's something like 1-3 after 4 games we'll see how fast it gets old him talking in third person about "Coach Prime!"

LOL, I was thinking the damn same thing. I thought he was talking to his girl friend because he sure likes telling everyone he's coming.

You said "to class" but was Deion in class? Did his tell his kids no slides to team meetings? I agree a lot of the stuff he does is completely unnecessary but he does it to set expectations of discipline and how he expects the players to act as they represent him and also the university. I could be wrong but I don't remember hearing about any player arrests or issues like that at Jackson State.

Such a dewsh.

The "coaches are either elevated or terminated" schtick... Eddie Robinson has a thought or two...

I love to compare his Transfer Portal message

To Jackson State - Stay here. The Portal will be loaded. Stay here so I can win the Championship
To Colorado - Leave. Go. I don't care if you have nowhere to go. "I'm coming."

"I know God." That's a bold position.

It will be funny to see how many JSU players stay for the Championship and then jump ship to Colorado.

Lots of empty and hollow platitudes.

it's dumb, having hat hair is a worse look than wearing a hat.

The msc makes sense, but people don't remove hats at restaurants anymore either because hat hair is a worse look, especially when you're mangy and balding.

In today's free-agency portal, Sanders could bring in a whole Offense with players with great talent. Look at Kiffin @ Ole Miss and Riley @ USCw.

The question isn't if Sanders is good at Marketing and can convince a 17... 18 year old to come play for him. The question is can Sanders build a winning program?

Having said that... .500 next season? Huge leap for you.

2023 schedule.
@TCU (12-1)
v Nebraska (4-8)
v Colorado St (3-9)
@ Az St (3-9)
v Az (5-7)
v Oregon St (9-3)
v Stanford (3-9)
v USC (11-2)
@ Oregon (9-3)
@ UCLA (9-3)
@ Utah (10-3)
@ Wash St (7-5)

They open the season with 4 out of 5 teams that are terrible. They could easily be 5-2.

Colorado loses QB Shrout (RS Sr) and McCown has announced Portal intent. Deion brings his son as QB.

Colorado likely loses 5 players on O and 5 on D. Some might say, that's good they sucked. Can Sanders win replacing the whole O and whole D? We'll see. Let me see what happens in the trenches and we can revisit this after Spring ball.

Prime gonna find out even Colorado could have went 11-0 vs that Jackson State schedule… Prime's fluff won't last long..

I generally like Deion, but I don't know if this will work out.

To those who think the message may be harsh or fake - this is pretty much the "ain't gonna be like it used to be" message Jimbo gave. I think it is pretty normal for a new coach.

I'm conditioned that way.

As he wears a hat and saying no hats allowed
