Rick George on the Future of Coach Prime, NIL & Colorado Football

[@marie6885]

Not only is Coach Prime affecting football positively he is motivating, inspiring all coaches and athletes across all sports disciplines. He is a gem!

[@RobSoRandom]

This AD will be credited with one of the best hires in college history, Hired one man that AFFECTS the damn economy. Rick took a chance and believed in prime. Just didn't believe in em tho he gave him the keys to do HIM that's something a lot of these pwi schools WOULDNT of done, Boulder is on the MAP MAP.

[@jeromegreen9057]

These be Facts!!!!! Prime has been Prime his Entire Life!!! Rick took a chance that has effected 1000s and 10's of thousands of lives❤

[@antonioallen-mi5nm]

Absolutely 💯

[@rudyflores8246]

I know you’re late to the NIL party Rick but hey. Better late than never. It’s really simple. The prime era brought a financial boom to Boulder. So many businesses are benefiting off the prime era like it’s nobody’s business. 80+ mill to be exact as far as the financial boom the prime era has brought to the area. Each business Should want to donate at least 2% to the NIL sector .. bc they’re benefiting off it….All you gotta do is sit down with all of those businesses pull out their net gross BEFORE the prime era and in the current prime era. Ask them “do yall wanna go back to that financial statement that was before the prime era or do yall wanna stay with the increased boom in y’all’s business.. bc if yall vote no he might leave .. and if prime leaves its back to the norm business wise. It’s a one hand wash the other both hands wash the face situation.

[@Soulkhon]

This is literally as simple as it gets. And remember.....that 80mil you are referencing is from previous year. Imagine what that amount will be at end of year! Especially when the football team keeps winning

[@Idontcare0081]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@rudyflores8246]

@@Soulkhon if I was a business owner I’d definitely be more than willing to donate 1-2% of anything I make to something that’s helping me financially. I’d wanna keep it going. CU doesn’t have to outsource asking for help in the NIL sector when it’s right in front of them which is the community/city. If prime had help NIL wise omg the caliber of players he’d get would compete with the Alabamas , Georgia’s etc. They can’t expect him to keep recruiting these sought after players outta high school with just the “come play for prime” pitch. That can only go so far. These kids wanna get paid . I don’t blame them. So if each business that’s benefiting donates sheeeesh .. we’d be right there with the big boys.

[@Roshondacoleman]

As a business owner, you’re statement is on target. Everyone has to work together. 🎯

[@jcnlaw]

I hope Colorado goes undefeated the rest of the season.

[@PrinceJenkins-rj8wt]

Agree

[@cbjones6910]

It’s entirely feasible.

AD of the Year. Blessings and continued Success DNVR and Sir Rick George.

[@michaelpaul4293]

He gets credit for having the foresight to make the obvious right decision. Thanks to Jackson!

[@nechemyahyasharal3678]

All respect to JSU but we all know Coach Prime left Jackson because the President drop the ball. Therefore Coach Prime leveled up and elevated for his opportunity which is Colorado. And this is coming from a supporter of JSU and Coach Prime who also played football with him at FSU.

[@perezblackmon5076]

If you can't see God's hands on Mr. George, Coach Prime and THE CU BUFFS to include SUPPORT STAFF, then something is wrong. Mr. George believed in Coach Prime, Coach Prime believed in his Coaches, his staff believed in it's players and we the fans believe in God, Mr. George, Coach Prime, CU Coaching Staff, and the BUFFS. Thanks for listening to God and giving us Coach Prime and The Buffs Mr. George. #boulderi'mcoming

[@Chris_The_Maintenance_Guy]

Well Said 💯

[@streetgainer]

One man turned an entire state’s economy around. A governor couldn’t do what coach Prime has done.

[@UnthinkableProvision]

Please don't take Prime for granted Rick/CU! Pay Him and His Staff. Make him the highest-paid Coach.

[@nia-d3x]

@UnthinkableProvision At least competitive salaries.

[@objective_evaluation]

​@nia-d3x bare minimum, their coaching budget should be top 10 in the country. Prime is VERY rich, but he is motivated to reward his staff too.

[@UnthinkableProvision]

@@objective_evaluation When you become older, you still have that youth competitive drive. Prime's drive is to build up his kids' and grandkids' pockets, so trust me, he wants more money, too.

[@nia-d3x]

​@@objective_evaluation For sure. But, I read recently, that a large slice of why CP can't compete with recruit, with other colleges like Mich, Alabama, Ohio etc. toward recruiting available dawgs, is because CU Alumni group is not contributing to NIL funds, like those colleges Alumni are. Bottom line, is not all of our young men are going to be motivated like Seaton to invest in creating history with CP. Most are being motivated, unfortunately, by large NIL deals. So Athletic Director has work to do. Also, benefiting busineses gonna have to solicited to buy into CU's NIL capacity. Salute

[@objective_evaluation]

@@nia-d3x yeah, those programs have a long history of success, so I’m not surprised. I’m not a CU Alumni, but I’m 100% a coach prime supporter and he knows,better than most, how to build the NIL system at CU. I’d imagine Rick is going after Alumni/Community while prime brings the corporations. I saw the vision at JSU, so It’s amazing to watch at this new scale.

[@TO-456]

I think it’s safe to say since hiring Coach Prime, the economy has greatly improved for CU and Colorado. I really hope they don’t take him for granted and keep him around for quite a while.

[@NewWokeMedia]

Probably won’t ever see a coach turn a whole program around like this ever again.. People criticize him for the 4 wins last season not realizing this team was 1-11 the previous year.. That’s huge in this game.. Now they are 4-1 against some pretty solid teams and people still hate 🤷‍♂️ They will continue to be better and better. Mark my words. This team and these coaches are ELITE.

[@PrinceJenkins-rj8wt]

Yes

[@jasperfairman21]

[@normank5190]

Coach Prime face should be on a mountain in Boulder.

[@The-Man-Right-Chea]

Coach Prime can build a winning team in the Big XII and dominate if he gets on a recruiting roll. He shouldn't go to the SEC to coach a bottom feeder team or the ACC accept FSU because he could actually build a dominate team there and own the ACC after a couple years. At Colorado they will treat him like a king if he win 9 games. But in the SEC the fans will run him out of town only winning 9 games at Florida because they won't playoffs and nothing less. So stay at Colorado and dominate the Big XII 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

[@PrinceJenkins-rj8wt]

Correct

If I were Deion Sanders I would have had a clause in my contract for 1% stake of every $100 Million in university revenue growth $25 Mill is nothing compared to the ROI Sanders has ALREADY generated being head coach, let alone the remaining 3 years in his contract. Deion Primetime Sanders is his GREATEST Hire to date by Rick George already, Economically, Professionally and Culturally. All the Deion Haters can cry in the mirror with the lights off and your shower running lol.

[@Boxinghockey23]

I have pretty much 0 confidence in CU doing the right thing moving forward based on what they’ve done the last 20+ years. Always behind on everything. Changing academic rules, stadium upgrades, NIL, etc.. Shoot, even CSU has a more technically upgraded stadium than us at this point with the sound system and light show. All that being said, if they don’t do everything possible to retain Coach Prime for the foreseeable future idk how I can keep supporting them. You throw whatever amount of money you can, and stop acting like you’re a poor school, you’re not. I’ve always disliked that sentiment. This Coach has single handedly brought the entire school back to being relevant in literally every aspect. Winning skiing competitions doesn’t elevate you. Football does. And it was about time the higher up’s realized that. It’s about time Boulder quits it’s snippity attitude and joins the real world. Keep Coach, throw everything you’ve got to him, finish upgrading that basically Texas high school stadium into a modern college football stadium, and get back to winning serious games. Please for the love of god

[@Shaun39]

Is CU in trouble because they were late to the party? Do you see coach as more of a rental for CU as they grow or more of something that they can keep?

[@Boxinghockey23]

@@Shaun39 I’m praying something they can keep, and that’s my whole point. GTMH id guess short term. But I’m hoping CU puts the money out to keep him
