This is gonna sound like a cheap shot but IMO , Prime has one goal, get his son to the NFL, after his son is gone do you really see him putting in the grind of day to day operations to run a program. Prime was never known to be a student of the game, he is basically being the Elmer Gantry of college football. There has got to be something fishy going on when players transferred out, they weren't buying his brand of snake oil or his claims to be the rainmaker

Well, he did tell them to transfer out. lol

Care to elaborate?  I thought he may have gotten his life together in his later years.  But I haven't followed the Dion story all that closely.  

I agree - I rank Dion with Bo Jackson as two of the best "athletes" I have ever seen (Jerry Gray says hi). 

I once gave him a bid to maintain his property there in Prosper. But I was never able to meet him. He had some lady who makes his calls for him.

I hear he's an egotistical prick but has softened some in the last few years. Being an active Dad has mellowed him some. But you've all seen how he acts when he talks about his two boys on that team.

So far, I think we have to admit the Deon experiment is working far better than expected.

I would do the same thing. The second part, yes I do. Deion has too much passion for the college game.

Nah, I'll keep it to myself. I'll say this. I have friends that have dealings with him on different levels and the stories told by others here are on brand. 

My experiences with him are around his Prime academy days, so he may well have changed. Let's hope so.
