Can’t stand the dude. He’s toxic. But by all accounts he did a marvelous job at Jackson State, and effectively paid his dues working at an HBCU for squat. So, a lot of it is his shtick and there is probably a decent guy somewhere behind the shine. What is clear is Deon is always about Deon when spotlight is on.

“Paid his dues”

He was there for like 2 years.

There's seems to be a lot of reports about how toxic Colorado's locker room is lately. Sanders is playing favorites to his kids and the everyone else not in that clique is miserable

At this juncture I'd keep Mora over Deion.
I like Mora's approach to coaching and recruiting too. Sure we not be competing for high ranked recruits, but neither was Geno or Calhoun when they started. He's building relationships out here and pipelines to funnel talent to the program.
I want an adult in charge who can speak well and makes rational sense when he talks. We need level headed thinking and someone who can evaluate players AND opposing coaches' schemes. That's Mora. He ain't flashy, and he sure ain't trashy, but he's ours.
But..... but...... but..... How could we be possibly be comparing DS to JM ???
JM does not have 14 pounds of bling around his neck. That and no narcissistic, I love me attitude. How could he possibly coach the modern day player? ;)

You Got a point lol. Mora has a proven track record though. Sanders brings the money. Jackson State he just out recruited everyone else. Colorado he needs to show is coaching acumen. I'm not saying Sanders won't be a good coach, but it sounds like he's very much playing g daddy ball.

Deion makes UConn football as a brand so much more appealing, as a coach? I'll take the coach who had more success in the same conference

I can’t find the Colorado post but this will do fine.

Nobody likes it when someone says I told you so.

That being said.

I told you so.

And Shilo Sanders is a total creep.


If that stuff is really true, oof, that is bad. I read another story where he forced players on the team to attend some event where Shilo was rapping. I don't know if that is true or not, either, but if it is that is awful.

I like what Deion did at Jackson State and he did a really job there and did great work for the community as well.

As much as I wanted Colorado to succeed last year and got on the hype train, where I really fell out of favor with them is when they blew that 29-0 half time lead vs. Stanford at home, not on the road, and lost the game. That was a horrendous choke job by the players and Deion Sanders. That's when I knew that team was not going to amount to anything that season.

Deon can recruit. His class for 2024 including transfers is ranked 22. Highest ranked class in BIG 12.

it doesn’t really matter what they do on the field if these allegations are true. It sounds like you are more upset about them losing a lead in the game, than the fact that he ruining a bunch of kids lives.

Thanks @ZooCougar for posting that. Just goes to show that Slime Time isn't a coach, he's a concept, and a contemptible one at that. I'll still take the adult in charge we currently have.

Wow.

It's not difficult for me to believe the stuff that Shilo is accused of is true, given his past history. Honestly, it's not hard for me to believe anything mentioned in this report.

Like, in what planet is DS a better coach and better for a program than JM?

College football a weird ass sport. We take the publicity that a person/program generates off the field and immediately assign it value on the field.

Listen, there is no amount of hype, talk, publicity that is gonna save Colorado.

Ratings don’t matter when you lose. Last time I checked, I want dudes who can win games.

Huh? I merely bifurcated my post by writing about the allegations and then the team's performance last year separately. I was not making any comparison between the two or suggesting on field performance was more important than the horrible culture Sanders created in the background (if true).

I do not how you or anyone else would infer that from my post. I was not even remotely implying the performance on the field would erase the "culture of violence" or was more important than that. I clearly stated that if the allegations were true that it would put Deion in a revolting image as it's a horrible think to put young players through due to nepotism.

Remember, we don't know if the allegations are true.

Sanders seems to not be able to handle critism at all. He's playing favorites to his kids and not focusing on playing the best on the field. And now he gets called out for his antics and he's all pissy about it.

Apologize.

Do it now.

This is classic college football, all sizzle no steak.

In college football you have to be the cool kid, do the cool thing. But, at end of day, what you do the field will doom you.

Sanders is way too much a marketer right now, not much a football coach. His kid is a good player, for college, but he acts like we owe him something .

We owe Sanders fam nothing.

Deion Sanders is fraudulent and you should be forced to apologize to the entire Boneyard.


Just one of many reasons why I think the answer to the question is:

Mora > Sanders
