Sure, I'll play along...why not?
First of all, you didn't say that, you said his best players had his last name. There were only 2 of them and one was mediocre at best. And no, those 2 weren't his best players. There are several that are better than Shilo and at least one that's probably better than Shedeur. Second, of course they came to him because of a personal relationship. Just about every player on every team does. It's called recruiting.
I don't think it's weird that people are justifying Deion's pay raise. The thread is about it. I expect it to be discussed. I don't see anyone "white knighting for Colorados scum ass coach and program" though, which is what you said. I've stated multiple times what a ass herpe puss filled sore of a program sCUm is and I haven't seen anyone else in here even disputing that, let alone white knighting for them.
Again, that's not really what you said (at least in the one post that I quoted). What you said was, "relative to the absurd hype he's brought them by being a successful black coach who's beating back racism and changing the sport, then yes he has earned his salary from monetary value alone." Look, I'm about as generic middle aged conservative white guy as it gets, but if that's not nonsensical rhetoric, I don't know what is.
Eh, sorry to break this to you, but again, not exactly what you said. What you said was, "it was the biggest sham team and heisman winner in modern NCAA history." Huge reach with regard to the team. They finished 25th. There are several teams every year that benefit from a weak schedule. It's part of the game. And you're flat out wrong on the Heisman part. A consensus first round NFL pick is not "the biggest sham heisman winner in NCAA history."
You seem to be going backward in this argument so I'll do you a favor and end it there. I get the point you were trying to make, I agree with and respect your dislike for sCUm as a program, and I sincerely appreciate your willingness and ability to stay (mostly) civil in this entertaining off-season sports debate. Respect!
