CUATG Podcast – Special Edition: Coach Prime’s Contract & the Future of CU Football
—
It took three months from the end of CU’s 2024 season to get it done, but Coach Prime’s contract extension has finally been signed. I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are here to discuss Coach Prime’s five-year, $54 million contract. We take a deep dive into how the contract fits into the national landscape of college football, and what the new deal means to the University of Colorado program, both near and long term.
We also discuss two other recent news events involving CU football, being the return of an artificial surface to Folsom Field, as well the official nixing of the CU/Syracuse Spring Game application, shut down by our dear friends at the NCAA.
We finish with a fun look at what Nebraska and “don’t showcase my players because someone might take them” head coach Matt Rhule, and what they may be running at the Cornhusker Spring “FanFest” instead of actual football.
So … If you are a Buff fan, times are good. CU’s innovative, program-building coach has been rewarded for resurrecting Colorado football, while Nebraska fans in Lincoln are being rewarded … with a tractor pull.
Let’s talk …

Good line by Neil. I’m an economist so I’m entitled to two opinions.
Also the topic of best ADs came up. I Can remember back to Crowder as coach then AD. Eddie kind of owned Boulder back in the day. I spent many an evening at Eddie’s Mexican Cafe drinking dollar margaritas with my friends. But I would rank him a very close third behind Marolt. After all Bill hired Coach Mac and extended him when it was bleaker than the ‘82 blizzard. George is #1 for obvious reasons- Hiring Prime and the construction of the Champions Center.
Tharp and Bohn are mediocrities at best.
