On Friday, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders got into it with a local reporter, resulting in an awkward press conference situation in Boulder.
The Denver Post’s Sean Keeler started by wishing Sanders a happy summer but was quickly interrupted by Sanders over his negative coverage of the program.
While Sanders had made his fair share of enemies since taking over as the head coach in Colorado, the Buffaloes head coach calmly conducted himself in the argument with Keeler, which eventually came to an abrupt end.
Coach Prime started off hot in 2023, leading Colorado to win their first three games against TCU, Nebraska, and Colorado State. Shortly after, however, they underwent a drastic nosedive. Sanders’ squad dropped seven of its last eight games, finishing with an overall record of 4-8 in the first year of the Coach Prime era.
In addition to their catastrophic finish in 2023, Sanders built one of the worst offensive lines in all of college football. Sanders’ son, Shedeur Sanders, was the most sacked quarterback of any Power Five signal caller, with 52 sacks surrendered on the year. Despite many issues on the OL, Sanders was able to prove himself through the air by breaking the school’s single-season passing record with 3,230 yards.
Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes enter the 2024 season with hopes of writing new headlines that feature Colorado finding success on the gridiron. Colorado kicks off their first game on Thursday, August 29th, against North Dakota State.
