Short term or long term, what are your expectations for CU football under Coach Prime?
I'm glad you've mentioned it. No one on the site has been talking about it.Probably goes without saying, but it'd be great to see a top-tier recruiting class for 2024.
CFB as a whole is so fluid right now. The issues that teams are dealing with currently (conference realignment, TV dollars, NIL) might be sorted out in 3-5 years and be a non-issue. I doubt CFB as a whole decides to ignore the issues going on right now.I feel as though he will stay at CU until he has won a Championship, whether it’s a conference or national championship. The caveat to that would be if he reaches a point where he truly feels he’s reached his potential here and can’t take the program further.
Recruiting would be the only thing in my mind that could possibly keep him from achieving his goals. Can he actually recruit top 5 classes to Colorado without being able to offer the alleged $1-$2m bags to many of the 5* recruits?
The 2024 class will be a good litmus test and will likely determine just how far he can take this program
Winning a championship would be one helluva story. I could see how that would be enticing to CP.I feel as though he will stay at CU until he has won a Championship, whether it’s a conference or national championship.

About this but probably change to consistent top 25.Year 1- Bowl Game
Years 2/3- Top 3 Pac Team
Beyond that a consistent #7-#15 in the national rankings, possibly sneaking into the top 5 on a really good year.
IF the admin keeps him happy, he retires at Colorado. That would entail substantial financial backing for Prime on par with the most elite programs in the country.Assuming administration keeps him happy, I anticipate he'll be here for 3 years. Anything past that will be a bonus in my eyes.
Bowl game year 1. (probably 6-6ish)
Top 4 in P10 year 2 (bowl win)
P10 champion in year 3 (and in the playoffs)
National championship by year 5 is not out of the question.
I appreciate your objectivity, but we just got:We have a lot of expectations but this next year is going to be really hard. Taking a quick look with the silver and black glasses off:
I would think:
Should win: Arizona, Stanford, Colorado St
Other wins: Nebraska
Losses: TCU, Arizona St, Oregon St, USC, Oregon, UCLA, Utah and Washington St
I think it will be hard getting past 5 wins this year with this schedule. But I do think TCU and ASU will be ones which we can pull off the upset. Prime just needs to beat Nebraska and CSU and focus on recruiting this year. We need a few good classes to make us into a new PAC-12 power.
I understand where you are going but we should set up realistic expectations and unlike basketball football is a major thing.I appreciate your objectivity, but we just got:
4 Star Heisman caliber QB transfer
#1 transfer in the country
Revamped OLine
2 stud DE transfers
Transfer starting S
Plug and play freshman RB
and a **** ton of WR talent
A Sean Lewis offense and some D coaches who know what the **** they are doing.
book it, 7+ wins
It can’t happen. Losing every year to my third most hated team on the planet is my punishment for killing all of those nuns in Guyana.I have one expectation that will not happen: get that first win over USC
A signature win in ‘23 would go a long wayI have one expectation that will not happen: get that first win over USC
How's it going so far?I just want to be entertained in year one tbh
I love itHow's it going so far?
I don’t think Prime will be happy with 4-5 wins so we shall see…I am not sure if I see 6 wins in year one. That schedule is really tough. I would be very happy with 4-5 wins
