Saw this guy speak once right before he got a job at Tennessee, talking about Notre Dame. He said something along the lines of ‘I develop talent I don’t get top level kids in right away’ dude lives in his own world. Dylan Jacobs was a FL champion.
Very arrogant which probably makes him a great recruiter (salesman), probably helped him in interviews for CU. But he’s not a coach that cares about young adults, people that work for him, or development. His training is decent but it’s not rocket science when you run kids very hard and see who sticks. Terrible hire IMO, and now CU will follow the likes of some other SEC schools and the Coach Prime philosophy in recruiting top talent, throwing development out the window, and only focused on performance..
If you believe the NCAA should have a professional level philosophy and performance is all that matters Sean will likely do great. If you believe NCAA should follow their mission and “Provide a world-class athletics and academic experience for student-athletes that fosters lifelong well-being.” Well Sean could give two sh*ts about well-being, and we’ve seen how many coaches that don’t care about well-being and how their practices end up. The transfer portal from Tennessee is the best indicator of all of this.
Sad day for CU. Great day for Sean.
