I wish descriptions on players going into portal had their recent stats, not necessarily how many stars they had coming out of high school. Some show impressive recent stats and those are the ones that get me more excited. Sometimes high star players don't turn out great - we've seen that before.
What have you done for me lately...

interesting... what are the repercussions of him entering as a lacrosse player vs a football player?
That he won't be able to play football
He likes playing with sticks?
This is essentially the only practical reason you bring Sapp in as an on-field coach. To win recruiting battles for elite DL.
Big Jim
WTF?
I'm certain you are right. I'm trying to figure out if Sapp can actually coach. I mean, he has the yelling and crazy eyes thing down so I guess he can coach.
Is this a scenario where Sal can carry some of the coaching weight if the recruiting is worth it?
And after reading the sports media last week I thought that Colorado lost half their team and the wheels were falling off. Hello Utah?
I assume the DL and DE practice together quite a bit and when they don't, I have faith that Sapp can work on technique and other "tricks of the trade" with his guys. I mean, he was a physically gifted beast, but I assume he also knows a thing or two about the position.
Right but can he teach things he was probably able to do with natural ease?
Same could be said for Prime, yet we sit here and say over and over, "this CB recruit can come learn from the GOAT".
I'll say it again, Prime is a Head Coach at this level because of his recruiting and relationship building abilities. That's also the only reason Sapp would be brought in. Charles Kelly and Sean Lewis (now possibly Pat Shurmur) are the x's and o's coaches.
Recruiting is 80% of the assistant coach job.
What's the concern about on-field coaching? Do you doubt that Sapp knows techniques as well as other DL coaches? How to play specific to assignment within the defense? If he's able to motivate guys to go hard? I'm honestly confused about what the concern might be. In my mind the question is never about whether a guy of Sapp's stature can coach, but rather about whether he would have a passion for it. And he found out that he did when he volunteered this year. So what's the concern?
I think a better question is why anyone would trust someone who didn't have NFL ability (most coaches) to be able to relate to blue chip recruits. They're like priests giving marriage counseling in many cases. It takes those guys years on the job before they are able to effectively coach guys at this level.
Keep reading. I don't really have much concern. Warren Sapp is probably this programs best chance at getting elite DL talents. If he can do that, he'll look like an amazing coach.
Dawg Unc W. Sapp will have a ton of credibility with these dudes. If he can translate that into even 2-3 recruiting wins, this is a grand slam hire. Colorado isn’t even in the conversation for the guys he’ll get access to this offseason.
Aged well!
What? Me saying it's a tough program to go play for? Arguably the worst job in the ACC in a state that couldn't give two ****s about college football. They spent a lot of money on assembling an amazing recruiting staff. We'll see if it pays off
He gets no money and instantly becomes 1,000,000,000% douchier.
Big Jim
WTF?
Not with his credit. But perhaps he can get them a discount.
You can’t let me dream for longer than 5 minutes?
Objectively funny even if I like lacrosse.
It’s objectively funny that you like lacrosse.
