The last few months haven’t gone as some people expected for Deion Sanders and Colorado. The Buffaloes have lost seven of their past eight games, and the first-year coach lost eight pounds recently after he battled flu-like symptoms.
Regardless of the 4-7 record, Sanders insisted his program is on the pace he wants on Tuesday.
“Did we sell out every game? Did this team get better? Is hope instilled?” he said. “What’s the problem? Somebody tell me what’s the problem. So what you’re trying to say is we didn’t live up to whose expectations? Because I know this team. I know what this team is capable of doing. So what didn’t we do?”
Sanders also said he encouraged his players to be confident despite outside noise, questioning if humility and silence truly go hand in hand.
“What does humility really mean? So if I’m sitting up here, talking about a program, positively with energy and life and aspiration and passion, that means I’m not humble?” the coach asked.
Sanders rounded out his comments by saying the Buffaloes would win again the way they had early in the season, promising the college football world would never be the same after the final product in Boulder.
