Reports: CU to hire Sean Lewis as its next offensive coordinator; Charles Kelly as its next defensive coordinator. Thoughts?
- Until further notice, it's "In Coach Prime we trust". It sounds like Sanders can recruit top notch coordinators; up next are quality assistants and top-rated recruits! (49%, 221 Votes)
- Lewis' job in 2022 was as head coach at Kent State; Kelly was the associate defensive coordinator at Alabama. Every day it's another "I can't believe this is happening at CU" moment! (48%, 213 Votes)
- It doesn't sound like either has coached - or recruited - in Texas or California, which are vital hotbeds for getting talent to CU. Here's hoping their coaching skills will offset their recruiting (3%, 13 Votes)

So far, nine commitments from the CU Recruiting Class of 2023 (out of a Class of 20) have decommitted. Thoughts?
- Coach Prime said he was coming in and cleaning house, and he meant it. The quality of players CU has able to sign is not good enough to compete at the P5 level. It may sound harsh, but it's reality (57%, 300 Votes)
- The reality is that new coaching staffs across the nation are letting recruits go. These recruits have known for two months a new coach was coming to, so they knew this might happen (37%, 196 Votes)
- These players made a commitment to the University of Colorado, and are being summarily dismissed, with only a few weeks before Signing Day to find a new home. They should have been given a chance (6%, 34 Votes)

It's all important, but which to you is the MOST important off-season task for Coach Prime between now and the start of spring practices?
- Winning the Transfer Portal. High school recruits are important for the long term, but the future is now. It's not enough to get interest from transfers, he needs to land them (74%, 368 Votes)
- Hiring the right assistant coaches. Yes, it's about the Jimmie's and the Joe's, but in order to overcome the fear that Coach Prime isn't ready for this level, he needs quality assistants (19%, 97 Votes)
- The Recruiting Class of 2023. There are still spots to be filled, with uncommitted prospects to convince, and committed prospects to flip. National perception of CU goes as Sanders' recruiting goes (7%, 34 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from CU head coach Deion Sanders at his introductory press conference do you like the best?
- "This is my job and my occupation and my business and my dream to bring you back to where you know you should belong" (45%, 225 Votes)
- I'm sorry. I couldn't read past "CU head coach Deion Sanders" without tearing up. I still can't believe this is happening (25%, 128 Votes)
- When asked if he's worried about living up to this hype: "Do I look like a man who worries about anything? I’m too blessed to be stressed". (17%, 88 Votes)
- When Sanders pointed out his son, Shedeur, in the crowd and says to everyone assembled "This is your quarterback" (13%, 64 Votes)

CU announces that Deion Sanders has been hired as the new head coach at the University of Colorado. Thoughts!
- This might be the best day for the Buff Nation in the past 20 years. Welcome, Prime Time, to CU! I am so excited about the future of the program ... words I thought I would never say again (61%, 299 Votes)
- Just like a kid opening presents at Christmas, I'm already moving on ... Who will the assistants be? How many high quality transfers and recruits will Coach Prime bring in? (26%, 126 Votes)
- I'm still pinching myself - it's still too hard to believe. I guess we'll sort out later how Sanders will be able to handle his first job as a Power Five coach. In Deion we trust ... (13%, 64 Votes)

The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
