Colorado
Deion Sanders (61 overall): Sanders' first season as an FBS coach started with a bang, but ended with six straight losses. He's generated buzz and excitement by talking a big game and collecting strong transfer talent. But the foundation has cracks -- see the offensive line for one example -- as the Buffaloes transition to the Big 12 and face another tough schedule.


Go Gophers!!
 

I've been saying since practically from the beginning that his approach didn't start with a solid foundation. It was all instant gratification. Perhaps it's evidence that winning isn't the primary goal for Deion, but it's more about pumping up Shadeur's and Shilo's draft stock.
 

CBS clearly has a different take than SI, who made Deion one of only 7 coaches in the history of any US sport (Wooden, Paterno, Shula, Coach K, Pat Summitt, Dean Smith) to be named Sportsperson of the Year.
 

We will see how year two goes...lots of people saying bowl game....some people saying Big 12 title contenders. Kind of like the Gophers....5 wins or 10? Colorado probably has a lower floor and a similar ceiling.
Colorado was better in year one than they were the year before.
