Deion Sanders stood in front of his
Colorado football team for the first time
on Sunday and delivered a 7-minute
sermon in a way that only he can, a
speech that referenced Louis Vuitton
luggage, his prominence on ESPN and a
theme he repeated over and over again:
“I’m comin’ .”
Because it’s Coach Prime, and be-
cause it was videotaped and tweeted
out for all the world to see, it has drawn a
spectrum of praise and criticism for how
directly he told a room full of young men
that many of them would not be there
next year.
“I’m coming to restore, to replace and
re-energize,” Sanders said in his speech.
“Some of y’all are salvageable. I’m not
going to lie, everybody that sit their butt
in a seat ain’t gonna have a seat when
we get back. But I’m coming. I started
and we gonna go dominate and we’re
going to work.”
The messenger might have been
atypical, but the message isn’t much
different from what most new coaches
deliver when they take over 1-11 teams,
much less at a program that has posted
15 losing records in the past 17 seasons.
Prime wasn’t hired for a slow and
steady rebuild; he wants to win now.
Welcome to college football in 2022.
For all the unique aspects Sanders
brings to the job, his riff on players en-
tering the transfer portal if they weren’t
good enough to make the cut was per-
haps the most he’s ever sounded like ev-
ery other college football coach.
Whatever coaching or chemistry is-
sues caused Colorado to win just one
game this season, Sanders knows why
he was hired: To bring in a lot of talent to
a program that didn’t have much of it.
There’s nothing wrong with the players
knowing it, too.
Is it one of the more unsavory aspects
of college sports? Perhaps.
Does it comport with the idealized
academic mission college presidents
and administrators like to brag about
when they tout the virtues of amateur
athletics? Absolutely not.
But is it the reality of trying to turn
around a perennial loser? You bet.
“We’ve got a few positions already
taken care of because I’m bringing my
luggage with me and it’s Louis (Vuit-
ton),” Sanders told the players. “I’m
coming. It ain’t gonna be no more of the
mess that these wonderful fans, the stu-
dent body and some of your parents
have put up with for probably two dec-
ades now. I’m coming. And when I get
here, it’s going to change. So I want you
all to get ready. Go ahead and jump in
that portal and do whatever you’re going
to do, because the more of you jump in,
the more room you make.”
Not only was it a message to the play-
ers currently at Colorado, it was an in-
vitation to the hundreds of players all
over the country who entered the trans-
fer portal Monday.
The Buffaloes are now open for busi-
ness, and aside from a few positions
where he’s already got big-time players
coming with him from Jackson State,
like his son Shedeur Sanders and cor-
nerback Travis Hunter (i.e., the Louis
Vuitton luggage), dozens of roster spots
are up for grabs. If there’s not room, Col-
orado will make room – if you’re a differ-
ence-maker.
It may be jarring for people to hear a
coach so blatantly tell a group of college
athletes that they should probably start
looking at their options, but that’s how
college sports has worked for a long,
long time. For decades, new coaches
have come into losing situations and
tried to determine who can play and
who can’t, who are the malcontents and
who are good teammates, who can help
you win and who should never have
been there in the first place.
That’s what coaches mean when
they talk about “changing the culture.”
The difference now is that can happen
almost overnight.
Buffaloes better brace themselves
Used to be that turning over a roster
of players took years of recruiting and
slowly building up a talent base that
would start to bear fruit by the time they
were juniors and seniors. Bringing in
transfers could help, but coaches
couldn’t rely on them too heavily be-
cause they had to sit out for a year under
the old NCAA rules. And because of cer-
tain standards like the Academic Pro-
gress Rate, you could risk future schol-
arship losses or even postseason bans if
you pushed too many players out the
door.
But since the COVID-19 pandemic,
pretty much everything has changed in
college sports. Players can jump from
one school to another without much
friction. The potential for players to earn
money through name, image and like-
ness deals means the non-traditional
schools at least have a chance to com-
pete for talent with the blue bloods. And
because the transfer portal works both
ways, coaches won’t be criticized nearly
as much for encouraging players to find
another home.
Whether you like this new world or
not, that’s the game these days. And
Coach Prime is more than equipped to
play it.
Though it would be far too ambitious
to predict that Colorado will go from
laughingstock to contender in just one
year, odds are that Sanders will be able
to do enough work on the roster to at
least make the Buffaloes competitive
right away. And yes, part of that will be
telling some players who simply aren’t
Pac-12 level athletes that they’d be bet-
ter off at a lower level.
“I love everything about this institu-
tion – the academic prevalence, no
crime, beautiful city, beautiful state,”
Sanders told the team. “We’ve never had
nothing (like this facility) to work out in.
Our (Jackson State) kids would go abso-
lute crazy to be in the situation you are
in. But you don’t respect it. I’m coming.
You don’t want it. I’m coming. Some of
y’all don’t even think you deserve it. I’m
coming. And usually when God sends
me to a place, he sends me to be a con-
duit of change.”
Indeed, he’s coming. And Colorado is
in for a big, big change. The way he’ll do
it may be uncomfortable for some to
hear, but Sanders will rarely be more
honest and direct than he was in that
meeting.
A whole lot of players who wore Colo-
rado uniforms last season will be else-
where next fall; their scholarships filled
by people who are bigger and faster and
more talented. But that doesn’t make
Sanders a bad guy. It just makes him a
college football coach in 2022.
Deion tells the truth in 1st meeting
Dan Wolken
Columnist
USA TODAY
Deion Sanders was introduced as the
new Colorado football coach on
Sunday. RON CHENOY/USA TODAY SPORTS
BOULDER, Colo. – New Colorado
head football coach Deion Sanders met
his new players for the first time Sunday
and told them exactly what he would do
to them.
It wasn’t nice. He said that some of
them would be replaced. He told them
they should get ready to find new teams
and take the transfer portal out of town.
He also said he would try to make
them quit.
And he did it all on camera, with a
video of it posted on YouTube later via
his son Deion Jr.
“Those of you that we don’t run off,
we’re going to try to make you quit,”
Sanders told his new team. “That’s what
our season is going to look like. I want
ones that don’t want to quit, that want
to be here, who want to work, who want
to win. … I don’t want to get in the game
and then find out I’ve got Jane, when all
offseason I had Tarzan.”
Colorado, a former national power-
house, has had only two winning sea-
sons since 2005 and finished 1-11 in
2022. But here is Sanders, the newly
hired celebrity coach, vowing to over-
haul the program to change that – all
while turning it into a reality TV show of
sorts to be shared online.
At one point in the team meeting
Sunday, Sanders laid down team rules –
no earrings, hats or hoodies in meet-
ings. At another point, he told the Buffa-
loes that there “ain’t gonna be no more
of the mess that these wonderful (Colo-
rado) fans, the student body and some
of your parents have put up with for
probably two decades now.”
“I’m coming,” Sanders told them.
“ And when I get here, it’s gonna be
change. So I want you all to get ready to
go ahead and jump in that (transfer)
portal and do what whatever you’re
gonna get.”
It’s a formula he’s revealed after just
one day on the job – combining cam-
eras, social media and an old-school
coaching style for the new name-image-
and-likeness era of college football
(NIL).
After all, his nickname isn’t “Prime
Time” for nothing. Under the production
of his son, cameras follow around Sand-
ers and others, capturing meetings and
moments to be posted and spread on so-
cial media, for better or worse.
The goal is simple – to increase expo-
sure for the program, attract top recruits
and boost the fame of his players, help-
ing them increase opportunities to earn
money from their NILs, which was al-
lowed for the first time last year in the
NCAA.
“We know how to do social media,”
Sanders told his team.
Sanders then turned to his son with
the camera and asked him the best way
to increase their followings.
“ Just post,” said his son, also known
as Bucky. “You’ve just got to post. …
You’ve got all eyes on you right now. …
Everybody want to know what y’all
about to do, who y’all are, what every-
thing is.”
As the man with the camera and so-
cial media skills, Bucky Sanders also
told the team what his job would be in
the meantime.
“I’m going to make y’all the most
famous people walking this planet,” he
said. “But you’ve got to win.”
Sanders the coach explained it in his
introductory news conference Sunday
at Colorado.
“I want you to get ready to start see-
ing cameras because we film documen-
taries,” he said.
It’s a carryover from his tenure at
Jackson State in Mississippi, where his
team went 12-0 this season and will be
part of a docuseries on Sanders that will
premier later this month on Amazon
Prime. Some of the show will show his
arrival at Colorado.
“The kids, they want exposure,”
Sanders said. “They want to be on tele-
vision. They want the lights and the ac-
tion, but they got to understand, the
same thing that caused you to shine will
show your blemishes as well. So we’re
going to give them that. We’re going to
give them the followers. We’re going to
give them the attention. We’re going to
give them the support, and we need
each and every one of you, because the
caliber of players that we’re getting
ready to bring to you, they gonna want
something. But guess what, I’m going to
want something back. I’m not crazy
about the NILs, but I understand the
NILs. … I’d rather our kids be focused on
the NFL, and not just the NIL.”
Sanders also mentioned in the team
meeting that Bucky Sanders soon would
get help for his production efforts to
make it even bigger. “He’s been a one-
man machine,” Sanders said of his son.
The show got a little tense Sunday.
Sanders kept telling the room full of
players that “I’m coming,” meaning he
was coming in to turn the program
around.
“There is not going to be any more
mediocrity, period,” he told them.
“I’m coming.”
He said he was going to coach his
Jackson State team in its final game
Dec. 17 – at the Celebration Bowl in At-
lanta. Then he was coming back with
new players to replace some of them. He
said his son, quarterback Shedeur, is
coming to Colorado from Jackson State.
“Yep, about 10 more of them coming,”
Sanders told the holdover players. “ And
they dogs. And they gonna hunt. And
they gonna eat.”
He was blunt.
“We have a few positions already tak-
en care of because I’m bringing my lug-
gage with me, and it’s Louis (Vuitton,
the luxury brand),” Sanders said.
The players looked at him in silence.
He even suggested they were spoiled,
telling them that Boulder was a beauti-
ful city with a beautiful stadium and no
crime. He compared it to Jackson State,
where his players had less.
“We’ve never had nothing of sort to
work out in and to train in,” he said to
the Colorado players. “Our kids would
go absolute crazy to be in the situation
that you in, but you don’t respect it. I’m
coming. You don’t want it. I’m coming.
Some of y’all don’t even think you de-
serve it. I’m coming. And usually when
God sent me to a place, he sent me to a
place to be a conduit of change. I’m
coming.”
Colorado’s administration, fans and
alumni are glad he is.
“We needed somebody like him at
this program that could re-energize not
only our student-athletes, but our base
and our community and our state,” Rick
George, Colorado’s athletic director,
said Sunday. “I think he can do all of
that.”
