Sanders to Colorado

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet. Very interesting hire. Was ultra successful recruiting and on the field at Jackson State. Can't wait to see how this plays out. With transfer portal availability , could be very good in a year or two.

In 3-5 yrs he will be at Florida State. Colorado is just another stepping stone.

Colorado only has had four winning seasons in the last 20 years, and one was a 4-2 2020 year with Covid.

I think they needed to try to make a splash like this. I think Mel Tucker would have had success there if he stayed more than a season.

This could be the start of a seismic change in major college football coaching. If his approach works (and I think it will) the future of coaching will be more dependent on how coaches work the transfer protocols and NIL opportunities. Older coaches are struggling with this, even traditionally successful ones.

I hope so. I’ve been a Noles fan since before he became prime. Norvell sadly prolonged the wait for FSU fans the way they ran the table after giving away the NC State game

I'm expecting either spectacular success or a huge flame-out. Either way, I'm here for the entertainment value. If he can convince the top guys to go to Colorado instead of Alabama or Georgia, that would be something. Anything that angers Saban, I'm in.

It’ll be interesting to see if the ability to recruit better talent (relative to other HBCU’s) due to his own NIL, or his coaching ability has led to his success at Jackson St.

Building a talented coaching staff will be key to Colorado's success, I think. He grabbed a sitting D1 head coach to be his offensive coordinator. So he's off to a good start in that regard.

I think is way more of an undertaking than people realize. Colorado is one of the worst power 5 programs in the country right now. At a place like Jackson State, you can bring in 2-3 top end players and make a huge dent. At Colorado, they need to improve at about 50-60 scholarship positions to make a dent. Let's he brings in 3 top 5 star players...well Oregon, Washington, and Utah probably are bringing in 12-15 really good, highly recruited players to go on a roster that is already head and shoulders better than Coach Sanders'. A 5 star recruit makes so much of a bigger impact at Jackson State than it does at Colorado. To be honest, I don't like his message so far either. Yes, they are a struggling program but there are still a ton of highly talented power 5 players on that roster that he seems to be belittling.

This is a 5-10 project and I don't know if he or that administration has that level of patience for the amount they are paying him. A 5-7 or 6-6 football team is a monumental turn around next year and that still will leave them with another massive leap or two to become a good football program.
