End of the Prime mystique

First it was he was a bad coach and Colorado wouldn’t do anything.

Now it’s he’s going to abandon them for a big job because another school thinks he’s a good coach.

Even if he does leave, he’s increased the profile of the university, increased the number of black applicants substantially, and begun to turn around arguably the worst P5 program. You can hate his personality but it’s been quite the journey.

“Increased the profile of the university” I guess is one way of putting it. Embarrassing the university is another (calling out the media, throwing the team under the bus when they lose, running off players). 4-8 last year and I predict the same this year.

I doubt a larger program is poised to hire him at the moment and he absolutely hasn't achieved any kind of turnaround at Colorado as of yet.

UNLV QB takes redshirt due to NIL dispute

Based on the QB’s story, UNLV boosters aren’t living up to their end of things. So he’s quitting now, will preserve eligibility, and will go somewhere that will live up to its verbal agreement next year.

Hilarious in its inefficiency, its total upending of the concept of ‘college’, or ‘team’, and just glorious because it’s the result of the NCAA dragging its feet forever.

From what I've seen stupidity/culpability on the part of the Sluka campt too. Their claim is that the UNLV OC "verbally promised" him "at least $100,000" if he came to UNLV. Sluka, his family, and his agent's next act was to... enroll at UNLV and start (after finishing his degree at Holy Cross, missing spring practice). He didn't say okay, set up a meeting with the collective, he didn't ask to talk to the donors, he didn't even talk to the head coach.

Finally like months later they offered him $12,000 and he went to the head coach, who basically told him that whatever the OC said didn't count.

Even if it was the head coach, the head coach doesn't hold the check book and doesn't make the payment. You say okay, set up a meeting with the collective, are you allowed to attend? They're who you're actually directly dealing with. I understand the coach maybe has to commit to helping raise the money or whatever. But some OC says something verbally and you just act on that?

Stupidity all around.

Where’s the stickem for our receivers?

Stop. Fitz did not lead to the transfer of top OL, or the transfer of Sullivan and Tyus. He was not the reason we lost the top half of a recruiting class and had others in another class decide at the last minute to go elsewhere. And like it or not, Jake is the reason we even had Lausch and Sullivan. (Gray is still an unknown) The blame is more Gragg and Schill and the way things were handled that left us in the situation we are in. It hurt the 23 class (guys deciding at last minute not to come) and absolutely destroyed the 24 class that ws shaping up to be Fitz's best (more than the top half went elsewhere and replaced with mostly 2 stars ). Portal exits (over entries) have killed our depth. Have to think that Fitz might have tried to adress RB room through portal as well and it was getting thin.

But you are likely talking mostly about QB and we did not get as much in the way of top QB targets as we would like but Jake did bring in a couple guys that he could work with in his system and he was bringing them along (Sullivan and Lausch)

There is no way to defend Fitz or Jake's record on receivers or QBs. None.

His agreement with the school is to play and in exchange he gets a scholarship. The school should kick him off the team for breaking their agreement.

Even if the school isn’t making the NIL payments, everyone is talking to the coach. I thought Gundy put things well in his characteristically blunt way the other week.

“Tell your agent to quit calling us and asking for more money. It’s non-negotiable now. It’ll start again in December.”

He was testifying before Congress for stealing $7 million from programs dedicated to helping Mississippi’s poorest so that he could build a women’s volleyball-only facility for his daughter’s teams.

This despite the fact that his career salary of $140 million, and certainly a similar amount in endorsements.

So, while called before Congress to testify about this obvious wrongdoing, he mentioned his illness so that media focused on that instead of his theft.

Yeah, he’s one of our worst.

I have no idea what is true or isn’t true. That’s the problem with these horrible stories, the masses assume guilt based on what they hear through the media. Like I said, he may have done everything he is accused of, but to my knowledge he hasn’t been convicted as of yet.

There are a lot of bad people in the country, I would at least wait until he is proven guilty before calling him one if the worst in the country. I got murderers, rapists, child abusers, school shooters and people that dress up as clowns as worst even if proven guilty.
