  1. Hahaha so over 18K likes to 175 dislikes? My point remains.
  2. This really can't be emphasized enough. It's not just you, I think anyone who's being objective at all would have to acknowledge that, other than FBS experience, Deion checks all the blocks. And he adds one that none of the other candidates have...instant brand exposure and lift, which we are badly in need of today. I know on the surface a lot of people didn't think he was a "cultural fit" but, the more I see of him, I think he's a much better "cultural fit" than most thought. Old school, no-nonsense, discipline, off the field first, builder of young men, cuts his own grass, likes to hunt and fish, man of great faith, obsessive work ethic, attention to detail, and on, and on, and on. Hell, he might be the perfect "cultural fit." The more I see from him, I might just be talking myself into him being my first choice.
  3. Hahaha So, 4 division titles, 3 conference titles, and a National Championship then? I'll take it.
  4. Did you watch the 1:30 Overtime part of the interview? It gets even better. Here's that link too...
  5. What's amazing to me is that interview has now been on YouTube for a few days and it has 18K likes and ZERO dislikes. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Even more amazing is reading the comments. I didn't read all 2,200 but looking at the first several pages and all are GLOWING endorsements for how great Deion is. I know I've never seen that before. Hard to believe (and a little disturbing/disheartening) there are so many people around here who are so strongly opposed to him. Here's a link for those who might have missed it...or who have been too close-minded to watch it...
  6. Exactly, which is why I rarely listen to them.
  7. Yeah they’re the official Dallas Cowboys station.
  8. Not all the way off, just pulled the front down a little
  9. The Ticket? Was it a ticker or just Corby f#&%ing around?
  10. I don't have compelling speculation they're both in play and nobody has compelling speculation they're not. That's my point. Just because a couple guys on here who don't want them say "we're not hiring them so let's not even talk about them" doesn't make it true. I'll give you that Urban's name has cooled in the media in the last month, but Deion's name is still being talked about. Quick google has a handful of articles just in the last few days and as recently as today. One "writer" still has Deion in his top 7, so yeah, I'd say he's still being talked about outside of here.
  11. I think that 60 Minutes interview is to blame. Opened a lot of people's eyes IMHO
  12. Speaking of QB...I'm guessing his kid is part of the package? Currently a sophomore. Offers from everywhere.
  13. Yes, Urban and Deion are MUCH more likely to be able to recruit FAR better than any other realistic candidate I've seen mentioned based on their past/current success. However you need me to phrase that, it's true.
  14. Besides himself (undoubtedly one of the best DB recruiters in the country), here's a look at a couple guys from his defensive staff.. DC - Dennis Thurman - 8 years NFL D-Coordinator experience DL - Jeff Weeks - 6 years NFL D-Line experience In the context of it being Jackson State, pretty solid. I'm not familiar with all of his staff, but it's been pretty widely reported that not only is he recruiting above his weight, he's hiring above his weight, too. All due to his connections and who he is. I don't think personnel would be a problem with Deion.
  15. So, now we aren't using past success as proof of how a candidate will likely perform at NU? Guess we better shut this thread down then because that's all it's been for over 300 pages.
  16. Where are you seeing any of this from anyone who's not just speculating?
  17. Haha well, I got news for ya....our F1 car has been stuck in the garage for over a decade and Max Verstappen ain't walking through that door. Maybe Deion can be our Lewis Hamilton. Or put another way, we are currently far from F1 and Deion is several notches above F4.
  18. Yeah, no I wasn't saying we're any of those schools in those scenarios. Just saying the fact that two successful coaches left blue blood programs in the same year, anything is possible these days.
  19. I mean, in that 60 Minutes interview on Friday, he ended the interview saying he will win at everything he does, in every facet of life. But not just win, dominate. Whether that's true or not is certainly TBD, although he's got a pretty good record of it so far throughout his life. Some may see it as ego. I see it as a winner's mentality which is something we could use at NU.
  20. Yeah, after Riley left OU and Kelly left ND, I really don't think anything's off the table.
  21. "Very little objectivity, often dismissive, and too many definitives" from which side? Those opposing or those for? I've admitted Urban has ethics question marks and Deion has lack of P5 coaching question marks. Everything outside of that has been fairly objective from those for hiring them. Deion is the Goat when it comes to corners. Who are you hoping he brings with him?
  22. Hahaha yeah, didn't seem to bother him when he was playing in Washington, or New York, or Cincinnati, or Baltimore.
