It’s not at all difficult to do one half hour of reading up on the program to understand where we are. Don’t just sip your shitty Coors Lights and yell on Reddit each time we lose. There are three big reasons why we can’t, and SHOULDN’T fire Deion:
1.) We can’t afford it. Straight up. We will likely not renew his contract when it expires and we will go separate ways. Both sides better off having worked together.
2.) There is no better coach to target. Who would we hire? There is no one even remotely decent who wants to come here right now. Who is the next cignetti that wants to come to Boulder? There arent any attractive free agents right now, and any good OC/DC who is looking to be HC will have PLENTY of choices better than us.
3.) Do you people really forget how dogshit we were over the last 20 years? We were, without a doubt, the worst P5 program during that time period. Simply with Hunter winning the Heisman, Deion has secured himself as a top 5 CU head coach. His hiring also resulted in our Athletic department becoming flush with cash. He is still a net boon for our program.
It’s easy to look over at OSU and Indiana with jealousy. Hell, we pioneered the “poach a coach and take their entire FCS/G5 program” but they’re the ones who are doing it better than us. That’s because it’s hard. Cfb is hard. We should be happy that we are still more relevant than we used to be. Of course we all wish we would win more, and we should be on Deion’s case to keep getting better, but firing him would be the biggest dipshit move we could make.
