New Colorado analyst Pat Shurmur talks Deion Sanders, development of culture

Pat Shurmur discussed how establishing a winning culture at CU all starts with Deion Sanders

The Colorado Buffaloes offense is going to look much different this season with a ton of new faces. Head coach Deion Sanders has brought in a flurry of new players and assistant coaches.

One veteran on the staff is former Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, who’s now an analyst with the Buffs.

With the season approaching, Shurmur opened up on his role and then gave Coach Prime some huge praise (h/t Adam Munsterteiger of BuffStampede)

“You’re always trying to establish a winning culture. And when you have a leader of your team like Coach Prime, who has won at everything he’s done in life, that’s where it starts,” Shurmur said. “If our players and the people around them just listen to what he’s saying and take his message to heart, it’ll all start to blossom and then we’ll win football games. And then we can start talking more about what the culture looks like.”

Shurmur is right: Sanders has a lengthy resume of winning. His professional playing career as an NFL and MLB player was fascinating, and he made Jackson State a big name.

Now, he heads to Boulder, and there are high hopes for the Buffs this year and for the foreseeable future.
