Hired as RB coach at Colorado. NFL HOFer who last played before most of the players he'll be coaching were born and with no prior coaching experience at any level. Does this hire make any sense given how crappy the Buffs running game has been under Deion?
OT: Marshall Faulk
- Thread starter goldencohusker
- Start date
Sorry to interrupt the farm weather, AI facial recognition, first date, sleep apnea and Malachi Coleman threads.
I’m not a Deion fanboy or anything, but hiring Faulk fits what he’s doing there. If Deion can create a celebrity atmosphere in Boulder and get CU on TV a lot while winning 8 or so games a year, the CU brass will be very happy. I mean, you’re talking about a program that couldn’t give away tickets 3 years ago.

If Faulk can get the RB room better and teach the things he can for the guys to get better, his name and rep will help get better talent there to work with.
Otherwise the assumption I make is he needs money or likes some of the laws of Colorado and wants to fully use them.
They aren’t on the Huskers schedule so don’t otherwise give a damn unless we see them in the post season.

That staff is pretty wild. Wow. ...i didn't think he'd stick next year. Good for him, it will be interesting.
While my original post has some CU/Deion implications, what I'm really wondering is in today's college football world of attracting talent through NIL, do 18-20 year olds really care about playing for a guy who has never coached and whose claim to fame was being a great player back when they were a nothing more than twinkle in their dad's eye. My sons are in their early 20s and I know they have no idea who Marshall Faulk is.
