00:00Boy, I tell you, college football is really heating up
00:02and it's been absolutely awesome this year so far,
00:05but not so much for two coaches right now
00:09that are on the hot seat as we're speaking.
00:11And I'll say this to you about Deion Sanders
00:13and what he's meant to Colorado.
00:15There's no question he put them back on the map again.
00:19He is 19 and 26 as a Colorado Buffalo's head coach,
00:25making $11.5 million.
00:27Here's something else to put in context.
00:30He's 10 and 21 in conference play.
00:33He's three and six this season,
00:35and he's one and five in the Big 12.
00:37Last two years, they're six and 15.
00:41Like I said, a lot of recognition to the program,
00:45boosters coming back to the program,
00:48advertisers coming back to the program,
00:50but you got to win and they're not winning there.
00:54And there's no question when you make that kind of money,
00:57you've got to produce.
00:59And you know why?
01:00Kurt Sicknetti and Bloomington shows you the blueprint.
01:04You can win anywhere if you do it right.
01:08I think Deion Sanders has more issues
01:09when it comes to trying to recruit kids
01:11because he doesn't leave Boulder.
01:13He sits behind his desk and he zooms interviews
01:16with potential players to his program.
01:19Dude, you got to get off your ass
01:20and you got to go out and get kids
01:21if you want them to come and play for you.
01:24And they've got to be meaningful places
01:26for you to want to come and play.
01:28You can't just sit there and do what you're doing
01:30and not recruit.
01:33Deion is Deion.
01:34You know this.
01:35However, he was asked about his job security.
01:38Man, I don't think about that, man.
01:40I'm not here for my job.
01:42I'm here for these young men.
01:43I'm not built like that.
01:46Like, I'm really not.
01:48I'm really, really, really not.
01:51Like, I want these kids to graduate,
01:57to provoke change in their communities
01:59and their lives and their families.
02:02I ain't worried about me.
02:03I'm good, my brother.
02:06I'm not worried about me.
02:08I believe that.
02:09I know the guy.
02:10And I do believe that.
02:11I believe he does care about those kids.
02:13I do believe that he cares about their futures
02:16and wants them to be great people in the community.
02:20But you don't get merit badges for that
02:21in college football today.
02:23Hey, I want you to do the right thing.
02:25I want you to be a good man.
02:27Hey, well, thank you for not robbing a bank.
02:30These are the kind of kids you should be recruiting anyway
02:32to your program.
02:34Deion's got to win some football games
02:35or it's time for a change there in Boulder.
