Coach Prime to the Colorado Buffaloes?!

Not a genius, but certainly more than the accusation (which I see from others, so I'm not pointing at you) of 100% hype. He has turned out to be a much better coach than I think anyone thought he'd be when he first started getting serious about it. He can recruit, and he's attracted a good staff. He seems to let them coach and is clearly the leader and energy of this programs. I'd say of him, so far, so good. If he goes 7 wins, I'm sorry, that is a YUGE improvement from what they just were. YUGE! Effectively Owen to 7 wins, with the teams they have to play, would be massive. And he's putting ass in the seats and has generated a ton of new interest in the program. Genius? I rarely use the term when discussing football. Promising? Oh, hell yes.HHusky said:
Surprising they beat TCU. Fortunate to win, but a win is a win. Good for them. But TCU is no better than mediocre.creepycoug said:
I feel like the goal posts are being moved for Coach Prime. We are talking about a team that was Cal-too-high away from Owen last season, and not a single loss was even close, or close to being close. I've been told it's impossible to compete in P5 first year after a thorough roster ass cleaning. Now we're saying anything less than 5-7 is an abject failure? Well, it would represent a 4 to 6 win improvement over last year, despite said roster turnover.HHusky said:

TCU frittered away about 20 points through its offense's incompetence when presented opportunities.
If I had to bet, after this weekend's meeting of mediocre teams in Boulder, the Buffs will be 1-1.
As good as the rest of your analysis and takes.
And 3 - 0 after CSU is more than likely. 'Cuz CSU. And they get to play both Arizona schools this year.
Less than 5 -7 seems like an abject failure.
I don't get it. The guy has turned out to be a semi-serious coach with ambition to get his team to be better. Nobody doubts that when they run into SC, UW and UO that they're going to get their asses kicked at least two out of those three, and lose the other one. But you have to give him a fair standard to beat and not move it around every week he wins.
Nebraska is terrible--can't execute a snap or a handoff without giving the ball to the opposition. At this rate, they might win 3 this year, assuming they beat their 2 remaining non-Power 5 foes.
Colorado State looked pretty awful.
Personally, I never claimed it's impossible to bring in a whole new team and win. It happens in the NFL from time to time. In an era of unlimited free agency, it'll happen in college too.
So he'd be a genius at 5-7? -

I see we've moved the window significantly but Prime is still just all flash and hype.creepycoug said:

7-5 good enough to get poached by USC... -

I was wronger than most about prime so I get what @creepycoug is saying. The season is already a massive success for CU, even with some big potential losses on the horizon. They’re fun to watch and super competent offensively. They’ve already exceeded the median expectation

Actually, I think we? finally do.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

Mostly agree except he didn't keep the roster from last season.creepycoug said:

They will win at least 7. My guess is 8 or 9.theknowledge said:
Not a genius but his OC is a good coach and he gets his guys ready to go. Beating TCU was a win I didn’t think he’d get. Nebraska was always a toss up and CSU is bad. He will be 3-0 after next week but the P12 is tough this year. His team is thin on players. If they stay healthy 6-6 seems on the table. That would be pretty amazing. That defense is bad and thin. I imagine they’ll get worse, not better as the year goes on. The offensive line isn’t great and I’d think his son will take a pounding. 3-9 was my original thought but I’ll think anywhere from 4-8 - 7-5 is on the table depending on injuries.HHusky said:

They have 22 good to great CFB players. Do they have 50? Depth and defense are my concerns for 7-9 wins. UW gave up 40 twice last year with a decimated secondary. Colorado was fully healthy when TCU torched them for 42. EWIWBIRoadDawg55 said:
