Okay
So worth it in our case - no proof needed
Not worth it in theirs - heisman, 9 win season and record revenue years in the bank
Makes sense
Coach Sanders $10,000,000 per Year
- Thread starter Badger Pete
- Start date

Dude, the revenue he's brought to the school and community alone makes him worth it. That's not even debatable. Even his biggest detractors have acknowledged that. You seem to have a little too much tunnel vision with the win/loss factor being the only thing that matters.
He may have helped the program get closer to break even, but without the infusion of allocated revenue from the university, the Colorado athletic program loses money. So it is debatable, their program is still losing money and now it will lose even more money because they are doubling his salary, so you have to hope you continue to increase revenue. They have a tiny 50,000 seat stadium that they are selling out now, their Big 12 deal media deal is set.
Win/ loss matters in the long run because if you don't win, fans of most programs stop showing up, then you are on the hook for the salary.
You may be right, but I've never seen that reported anywhere. Everything I've seen indicates that he's earned it purely from a financial standpoint.
Valid point. And with that cesspool of a fanbase, losses will have them losing interest even quicker than most. That said, my point remains that the win/loss piece isn't the only factor. Hell, in today's landscape, it seems wins and losses often takes a huge backseat to the financial element.
Never once said it was worth it for Rhule, you are the one that always wants to compare Rhule to Sanders, I am assuming it is because you live in Colorado and it is in your news cycle everyday.
We did kick Colorado's ass on the field last year, as much as a couple of posters in here like to forget it happened. We were a much better team than they were, but their coach used to run fast so Deion's super fans will gloss over that game and their powder puff schedule and continue to take shots at "our" coach. Just a bizarre dynamic.

That was a great game beating CU last year. But fast forward 6 weeks, and CU was greatly improved and NU had regressed significantly. CU finished 9-3 and NU 6-6. We were lucky we got them when we did. But we got them good that day, and that’s what matters.
The final records were the result of the conferences both play in .
Beating Deion is the best day of the Rhule era
Not sure why our most ardent fans constantly try to minimize this feat
Destroying Fickel was fun, winning the Bowl game was fun. What was your favorite win of CU's magical season?
Beating Wisconsin’s and Boston College’s backups was fun
Both pale in comparison to our W over CU
It’s very strange for such a “big Husker fan” to constantly want to diminish and discredit by far the best win of our coach’s tenure
Backups, whatever makes you feel better. Locke started the last 9 games for Wisconsn and James was made the starting QB for BC against SMU when Castellanos was benched.
Just sharing some games I enjoyed. What was your favorite Buff win?
How many of Wisc’s & BC’s best players played?
Zero? One?
I enjoyed them, too.
But neither hold a candle to our win over CU. Obviously.
Your desperate, repeated attempts to downplay a huge moment for our team and coach is very odd.
So revenue matters now? I thought you/fans don’t see any of that money and wins are the only things that matter? 😉
And I 100% agree Colorado had to give Deion a raise/extension. He made them a lot more money and he got them better. Not great, not even good really, but better. And coupled with the money that’s enough. At some point the fans will either get tired of losing and stop paying money and/or attention, or Deion will actually make them good for real (not fake good) and jump ship to a better job. Fake good was good enough for year 2. It won’t be good enough in years 4 and 5.
Anyone that actually thinks you are a N fan is a fkn idiot. You are nothing but a piece of garbage
NO, you were supposed to take it with context. Do better next time.
Kicked Fickell's ass, kicked Deions ass, kick BOB 's ass. Rough for you, but you are doing a fabulous job spinning it, as usual.
Now, which was your favorite CU win? Too hard to pick one in such a historic year?
Yep
Me saying our win over CU was better than beating wisconsins and BC’s backups is a narrative.
Definitely not a simple fact. Must be part of a larger agenda.
You are just on the opposite side of the hard on, you are just bobbin' his knob rather than hating.
Weird I think I mentioned three coaches and three wins, why so fixated on "Deion"?
I'm just stating how much I enjoyed some of our wins. Most of us try to enjoy the wins, look how much fun you had watching the Buffs this year!

Stop being obtuse. Deion is a joke. You holding up the 9 win season as some supposed monumental achievement and validation of his coaching acumen is beyond silly. Hope to see you kicking this dead horse in November. Should be fun to watch.
I and everyone else hopes we can get to 9 wins again
Rhule making the conscious choice to avoid competition at all costs should help
maybe we will be lucky again this year and play conference foes decimated by injuries and a bowl opponent whose best players all opt out
then we can all hold that win total up together!
Just like you're doing for CU. At least we can all be consistent.
for sure.
if we go 9-3 against the MAC and bottom of the B1G you won't hear me complaining.
we will be right back to where we were in 2014 when we all agreed it wasn't good enough.
poetry.
Except we don't play a bottom-feeder schedule like your Buffs. And winning, at any level, isn't going to keep you from complaining.
We don’t?
Could’ve fooled me.
We have maybe 3 teams on the schedule that will be in the preseason top 25.
Haha who told you that? Or, maybe define "respectful." As far back as I can remember, they have always been some of the biggest pieces of shit in college football, especially toward us. Just pure trash. You sure you're not thinking of Oklahoma? That's what I would call a "respectful" rivalry.
