Sanders first talk to the Colorado football team
"I'm coming!"
This hire has fascinated me from the moment it was announced.
I have seen many rah rah coaches talks to teams... this feels different.
When he returns, no hoodies, earrings, hats or phones in meetings.
Like how he told them his players at Jackson State would go crazy to have the facilities they have at Colorado but they(Colorado players) don't respect it.
As he said, "Some folks are still playing football and here we are having a meeting."
He is definitely starting where he needs to start... attitude.
The first 8 minutes or so is him talking and then he opens it up to questions of which there are not many because I think the players are intimidated!

I'd watch but I've never been a fan of Primetime, so.....
I do think this is a ballsy hire. Will be interesting to see how it goes.

Re: Sanders first talk to the Colorado football team
Gave this a cursory watch, but was reminded of how Slick Willie rolled into Eugene with his glasses and Do Something spiel. Was inspiring at the time until he sent players into the hospital. I find it curious that Slick Willie finds himself back in the P12 in almost identical circumstances albeit in a different capacity. This experiment either works with fair results or implodes with ferocity…. Will be interesting…

Re: Sanders first talk to the Colorado football team
Taggart took over Oregon after they had the worst year of the previous 25 seasons.
Sanders is taking over a program that hasn't been relevant for a good part of this century.
Big difference.
I sat there and listened to MC's bravado process mantra for 5-years until he quit and has now hit the replay button in Miami.
As for the present, I see some similarities between Oregon hiring Lanning and Colorado hiring Sanders.
Oregon went outside of the expected box and hired an assistant coach from the SEC who had never been a head coach at any level.
Colorado went outside the expected box and hired Sanders...who at 55 years old has been a head coach but has only been a coach in 32 total college games.
Colorado needs a jumpstart big time; Oregon didn't.
Like every head coach comparison, they all have their own styles but only a few weeks ago nobody was thinking Colorado would be noteworthy next season...on the field, recruiting or the transfer portal.
Now any transformation on the field remains to be seen but Sanders is a game changer with regard to recruiting in the Pac-12.
