The reason people criticize Deion isn't race. I don't see anyone "hating" on Marcus Freeman. His appeal is controversy. The reason people don't like him is controversy. The reason people tune in is controversy.
But people are people. The viewers will be down slightly this week as they host USC. USC is going to blast them because CU just isn't that good. The rest of the season will be Deion fans going berzerk every time they beat ASU or Stanford. And then get mad every time "haters" mock them when they get clobbered by UCLA, OSU, Washington State and Utah. It's how its going to go.
Meanwhile, no one is talking about the fact they have the 75th ranked recruiting class. Below Colorado St and FAU. 8 recruits. Only 3 4 stars. No one is going to talk about the thing that is going to be his downfall in Colorado if he doesn't change. It isn't coverage or brashness. It's his philosophy that he wants to build a program almost entirely through the transfer portal. He's already said he wants kids with 2 years of college experience, not high school kids. He's proving that through where they are with recruiting. You're telling me Deion can only get 8 recruits? No way. he's choosing not to. Saving spots for transfers. We're already seeing you can't win against the best teams with all transfers and you can't win with no transfers (Clemson).
