    Did we get a bump when Jimmy Lake was hired? Coach Prime has a limited window in which to sell the "Cult of Personality" but it well known in sports that black players don't always warm up to black coaches. Most didn't grow up with a black father in the home so they don't always perceive a black coach as being the same authority as a non-black. That's just the God's honest truth that applies in College and the Pro ranks.

    Jesus Christ. I also love the way you pass off the "most black players didn't have a father in the home" line as if it's an undisputed fact.

    Black families were stronger during the worst periods of American history than they are today. Since 1968, there has been a fourfold increase in the number of unmarried parents, according to Pew Research. But Census data show this trend especially applies to black families: In 2020, just 41.3% of black kids were growing up in a two-parent home...
    How many were 2 dad households?
    THIS is the correct use of that data.

    He’s done good at jsu but I agree that no coach should be considered a recruiting asset solely based on race. I also don’t think prima Donna type sports legends are good coaches over the long run. Maybe spurrier?

    I'm curious to see how Sanders meshes with the Boulder community. I agree this is probably a stepping stone to somewhere back in the South.

    I think that he's going to have a pretty short shelf life. Times they are a changing, but it's not the Buff players fault they were shitty, anymore than it was our players fault they were shitty collectively under Lake. It's shitty leadership, AD, coaches, all down the line.

    So he wheelbarrows his big HOF dick into town and tells everybody to GTFO, and his kid is the QB...what could go wrong?

    That is not how leaders treat people, even if the house needs to be cleaned. He's betting on "his" FCS guys coming with him, and poaching a bunch of guys who are quitters, over scheme, PT, or "I want my money"...He's going to make a lot of promises, and kids (and their parents) are going to buy it, for now.

    When he starts poaching guys, he's painting a big target on his back. People will be looking for anything and everything to shoot him down.

    IMO, it will go one of two ways...a fabulous success, or a flaming dumpster.

    If it isn't a train wreck, he's at FSU in three years tops...

    Yeah, so far seems like a douchebag travel team dad not a killer P5 head coach.
