    This part of the article says a lot, regarding OC Sean Lewis and QB Shedeur Sanders, the HC’s son:

    Regarding Coach Prime’s decision to relieve OC Sean Lewis of play-calling duties mid-season:

    “That was embarrassing. … If I’m Sean Lewis, I’m outta there on the first opportunity,” said one assistant. That coach said that Shedeur’s propensity to hold on to the ball didn’t always fit with Lewis’s quick-release tempo system, causing a rift. That coach also said that when his team faced Colorado, after a three-and-out by the Buffs, he saw Lewis try to get Shedeur’s attention but Shedeur “pushed (Lewis) off and went to the other side of the field.”

    “A lot of OCs will be hesitant to come into Colorado now seeing what Sean Lewis did,” the assistant continued. “People were talking about him as a head coach candidate after Week 4, and for you to demote him? That’s telling.”

    Lewis recently accepted the head coaching position at San Diego State.

    Nonsense, he's a fantastic coach, he never throws players under the bus, he has multiple 5 star commitments from secret unnamed players, the future is all Buffalos! :ninja2:

    I think Neon Deion's nickname should be changed from Prime Time to Flash in the Pan.

    Not according to the the clowns at SI who named him "Sportsman of the year", if you can believe that nonsense.

    I predict your Flash in the Pan is spot on; the natives are already revolting. His team will suck again next year.

    Sanders has another son he is recruiting who could be a game changer. Keeping with the S tradition, his name is Showboat Sanders.

    I went to 247 rankings for 2024 and searched for Colorado. No match.

    Why? They only show the top 50. I had to click "Show more..." to get to them at #64.

    Demoting your offensive coordinator who you convinced to go from a head coach to an OC was obscene.

    Here’s the Athletic article referenced.

    Deion Sanders believes Colorado will rise in 2024. Opposing coaches predict 'hard times'
