I think Prime will do well in the short-term in recruiting and transfers but their lack of NIL will hurt them. Yeah, CU has a lot of alumni and I’m sure a lot with $, but CU typically struggles with getting $ donated to them. 

 
I sure hope missing out of Fickell and Deion doesn’t come back to bite us in the a$$. Really hoping Rhule is the right choice…can’t help but have my doubts.

You don't think people won't start putting money up for nil deals at Colorado?? I do, I just think that Coloradan's haven't truly been behind a coach for a long time. Deion changes that perspective.

 
“Fickell isn’t leaving Cinci for any job other than OSU”
 

“Oh Deion isn’t going to take a cold weather job”

both turned out to be not true.

I do think Rhule is a better coach, but i think Deion and Fickell would of been better hires.  I hope to god this doesnt bit us in the a$$.

Nothing is guaranteed, but of the 3, only Rhule has shown to a "program builder" at the Power 5 level (also did it at Temple).  Deion is a big name, but I think he will struggle in the long-term at CU.  He may improve recruiting at CU, but he won't have the better talent like he often does at Jackson State.  Fickell is very good, but I think he's better at keeping a program going rather than re-building one.

Not at Ohio State he wasn't.   :lol:

 
Deion is a gamble. That’s why only those teams wanted Deion. He has great recruiting ability. Nobody knows how well he can develop & coach.

For having a reputation as a "program builder" Baylor is Rhule's only P5 example and none of his stops have long term attached to them.

I agree that one of the big question marks with Rhule is his ability to sustain success at a school for the long-term.  However, if he is able to get NU to the 8-9 win level, and then he leaves or that's his peak, I would consider that a success, given NU's history the past 8 years.
