Deion is a modern-day version of Spurrier

My personal comparison is to Jim Harbaugh - same meteoric rise in the college coaching ranks. Harbaugh went on to dramatic success in his NFL career before idiotic 49ers management forced him out, but that's another story. Harbaugh also didn't have a son with NFL potential playing for him.

That’s not a bad comparison, it will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

When Spurrier came into the SEC, all the old SEC thinking coaches and fans said his pass happy offense would not work in the SEC, the SEC was a downhill running, play defense and field position league, Spurrier completely changed that way of thinking, people had to change their defenses, had to start opening up the offenses and passing the ball.

Deion is on his way of doing the same thing, he brought in a huge number of transfers, he’s playing a wide-open modern style of offense.

I would not be surprised this offseason, a bunch of really talented players decided to transfer to CU and make them top-5 team by next year.
