"That's a bold strategy, Cott...Nah hell man, that's just stupid!" 😕

Everyone on the Colorado team about to turn into that a hole from Remember the Titans that let the defender through and got the QB knocked out.

Meanwhile in Michigan...

There was word that the school was preparing to give Harbaugh a contract extension that would have made him the highest paid coach in college football but it's now on hold.

The NCAA needs to get this poo figured out ASAP. Michigan looks damn good. Very possible we could be looking at a vacated title in a couple of years.

That would be fine behind the scenes.  That's not what Deion did.  He went to the media and told the media all those kids would be gone. 

I don't know things will be much different.    I think there are questions about how playing for Deion actually is.  Same for coaching for him.  I wouldn't want my uber talented kid playing for him.  See Travis Hunter as the example of why not.   I also think it might be hard for him to get the type players he needs to actually round out the roster that makes a good team.  The non-super stars types.  Deion doesn't look attractive unless you have odds to be part of his reality show. 

You just seem to be holding him to a high standard.

 

That Colorado program won 1 game all last season. You wouldn't be saying this for any other coach in the country.

 

Deion has already won if we being honest.

To be fair, no other coach in the country would be publicly saying he's booting his entire OL after the season is over when he still has four games to play.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I would blast any HC that went to the media with 4 games left and said he would be replacing his OL next year. 

I would blast any coach HC that has done what Deion did with Travis Hunter. 

Deion isn't being held to some weirdly high standard with any of that.   

Deion is essentially is a fake TV character.  Always has been.  And in all honesty, he gets pass on a lot of behavior most coaches wouldn't get.

Either you love him or hate him no in between.

that's how people like to frame most discussions. 

I think Sanders has/had potential to be a good HC.   And I frankly was very high on him at Jackson State.  Really liked what he did there.  

I don't think think from the start to present day at Colorado has been an impressive example of Sanders the HC.  Think it is highlighting a lot of his flaws.  And frankly, I think the fact his kids play there is a double edged sword for him as HC.  It's basically bringing out and highlighting his flaws.  Probably creating them too.

I mean his team is pretty flawed. Defense has been trash since the beginning of the season. The Oline is the worst in the country. He has skill position players but this game is won in the trenches. 

Not sure we are questioning him as a HC when he actually gets the big boys on the line. I think next year is when we can truly judge him. He looked great early on, now he looks bad as of late. Im just looking at his roster and he really can't do anything until he gets all of his recruits. This team was created over night.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
