Colorado’s ‘Coach Prime Experiment’ is headed toward an ugly ending | Blaze Media
Deion Sanders’ approach creates a toxic culture that will undermine the intangibles that lead to consistent winning.

The coaching experiment the University of Colorado is conducting with Hall of Fame football player Deion Sanders will likely end with a lawsuit.
Someone — a player, an assistant coach, the athletic director, a fan, a cheerleader — is going to sue Sanders for coaching malpractice. The complainant will use Saturday’s Colorado-UCLA game as exhibit A in the suit. Deion’s postgame press conference will serve as the closing argument.
Following the Buffs’ 28-16 loss, Coach Prime unleashed a level of self-serving narcissism, ego, and incompetence that is uncommon outside Pop Warner. Sanders’ frustration was justified. It’s nearly impossible to lose a football game — let alone by double digits — when you win the turnover battle 4-0, which Colorado did.
Deon is telling his players he wants to replace them, he is trying to have his son throw every down, and making his son play injured as he fills him with pain killers.
Deon probably won't be around next year.
The entire gig is built around making his son a super star, to pad his own ego.
