Colorado’s hire of mentor Deion Sanders away from Jackson Condition in Dec. 2022 quickly transformed the Buffaloes into 1 of the most carefully followed teams in faculty football. Their fanbase expanded right away as they reeled in tv audiences in dimensions commonly reserved for Alabama or Ohio State.
Even so, Sanders’s methods alienated some—and not just men and women inside of the recreation itself. Several observers took difficulty with his wholesale turnover of Colorado’s roster, which started with the most infamous video of Sanders’s tenure.
On Tuesday, Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders responded dismissively to just one this sort of criticism of his father’s procedures. In The Athletic, now-UTEP (and former Austin Peay) defensive back again Xavier Smith charged the elder Sanders “(ruined) guys’ self esteem and belief in them selves).”
“Ion even remember him tbh. Bro had to be extremely mid at finest,” Sanders wrote on social media.
The shrug-like tweet drew widespread condemnation, accruing practically three situations as lots of quotation-tweets as retweets in about an hour.
Sanders’ on-area expertise are obvious, but his tact may possibly have to have some tinkering in 2024 as he presumably eyes the 2025 NFL draft.
