Deion Sanders Facing Backlash Over Decision to Demote OC, Colorado Loses Fifth Game in Six Weeks
Despite promising start to season, recent losses under coach Deion Sanders lead to questions over sudden demotion of Offensive Coordinator Sean Lewis and aggravate Colorado's chances for a bowl game.
- Despite an impressive start to the season, Colorado’s performance has declined significantly, leading to the team's fifth loss in the past six weeks against No.12 Oregon State.
- Head Coach Deion Sanders has faced criticism for his decision to demote Offensive Coordinator Sean Lewis and promote Pat Shurmur, former NFL coach, to the role.
- Colorado's performance under Shurmur was poor, with the team managing just 78 yards and three points on offense through three quarters during the recent match with Oregon State.
- Famous actor Samuel L. Jackson publicly expressed his disappointment with the recent performance of the Colorado Buffaloes, criticizing Coach Sanders, his son and quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Pat Shurmur, and Defensive Coordinator Charles Kelly.
- Despite growing backlash, Sanders remains unapologetic about his decision to switch offensive playcallers, asking fans to 'trust the process', while also receiving criticism for not adding a tight end or running back to the protection scheme.
