I can't remember if it was him or their other RB but one of them looks like he would be a good scat-back type.

I think you're thinking of Dylan Edwards, who is the shiftier RB.

Her are some cliff notes from another site.

Interview highlights / bullet points:

1. Deion no-showed his first 3 weekly team meetings. Had entire team in meeting auditorium & they just sat there for 1 hr each time. Then an assistant coach came in at the end and said "yeah, he's uh not coming, you guys can go"
2. Assistant coaches were afraid to cover during the no-show meetings for fear of "disrespecting" Deion
3. Deion would not acknowledge holdover players even if you were w him 1-on-1 in an elevator. He would not look up from his cell phone even when addressed directly by the player. But Deion would hug, high 5 and dap up players he recruited like they were family
4. When they cut 50 holdover players, Deion and staff purposefully avoided telling all 50 players that the school would still honor their academic financial aid. So everyone rushed to the portal with no place to go. 3 players knew the rules and knew CU had to honor their academic financial aid so they stayed. Other 47 did not so they rushed to the portal w no place to go and many got screwed over.
5. Deion made it a rule that he would not meet any parents when they visited Boulder and he forbid the position coaches from meeting parents (one kid said this)
6. Deion had a red carpet outside his 5th floor private office & it had a sign that said no shoes allowed (he's since removed the carpet)
7. Deion's office had a sign out front that said "were you ASKED to be here?". You were not allowed to visit Deion's office or knock on his door unless you were invited or asked to be there.

Who knows how much of that is true BUT my guess is that all of it is at the very least, sort of true.

 

The red carpet and the sign on the door, well, I feel like someone would have taken a picture of that.

Even Deion's fiancee is entering the portal.

4th assistant jumps ship. OL coach follows Lewis to SDSU.

Not surprising.  He was with him and Kent State.

This makes 5 assistants to leave now?  I didn't think it was possible, but at the end of his tenure, Deion could actually make them worse than when he got there. That will be an impressive feat.

I know this probably won't happen because he'll find someone to fill these spots.

 

But, It would be so damn funny if CU had to forfeit the entire season because they didn't have enough players and coaches.

Well the CU fans on Reddit will be the first to jump in and tell you that Hagan wasn't an assistant this year. He is in an off-field position, blah blah blah. It doesn't change the fact that people are jumping ship like crazy lol
