Ive lived in Boulder my whole life and I can promise you that those kids need to hear that. Mediocrity and complacency have tainted what was once a stellar program

I grew up in the same generation as Deion and he didn’t say anything I didn’t hear growing up playing sports. This is what accountability and not coddling sounds like!

I was treated this way in both jr. high and high school and I loved my coaches for it. Those of us that survived the summer were a closeknit family of overachievers.

The reason why what Deion was saying was "shocking" to a lot of people are because these "kids" grew up in an era of everyone gets a trophy and now real life is smacking them in the face! More of this is needed!

When Mike Ditka was hired by the Bears he said: "I've got good news and bad news; the good news is that we're going to win the Super Bowl; the bad news is that half of you won't be here."

Josh, that's WHY he was brought in, to weed out the weak and build/recruit the strong. To have a facility as wonderful as CU's and have a losing record for that long . . . . something has to give! I'm following Prime!!!

This is by far the best take and commentary on Coach Prime's speech.

Thank you for playing the whole clip. It makes what he said much more understandable and shows that while it may be unpleasant it's honest.

Inviting kids to consider the portal will help separate those who are into working with Deion from those who are not. It's that simple. "A lot is going to change and if that's not for you you are welcome to go" is a valid message when taking over a team be it in sports or business.

When Kiffin came to Tennessee his intro meeting was the same way. They want to scare off the weak and build with guys that want to work hard and buy in. It’s the same with the summer workouts. They start off absolutely brutal to scare off the weak then they become more normal and functional before camp. Normal meeting🏾‍️

The warning he gave them was more than most people get in the real world. Coach already got the respect of every college kid out there. He's a legend in Pro Football, he's what they all aspire to be. He immediately showed up and put them on notice that they need to step up their performance if they want to stay on his program. I'm looking forward to Coach Prime working his way through the coaching ladder and back into the NFL. The man knows what it takes to win because he's been there.

I like the straight forward, no bs approach

I notice there were not 85 players in that auditorium which explains the 1-11. Deion spoke about that also.

He is bringing change to Colorado. He is a type A personality. He is a class act. He is telling all players that there is a new sheriff in town. They were put on notice.

Now this is real coaching .He has to be tough.

Totally agree with everything that was said. He wasn’t being mean to them. He is trying to motivate them to compete and get better. Only the best players will stay.

He is totally allowed to make those changes and speak to those men. You nailed it bro 🏾 Josh bravo 🏾
