Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, has faced criticism from media personality Paul Finebaum, who dismissed his team's relevance and playoff chances. Despite last season's struggles, Sanders received unexpected support from Nick Saban, who praised his efforts in transforming the Colorado program, which has gained significant attention and talent. However, Sanders' recent behavior, including banning a local columnist from asking questions over perceived personal attacks, has led to accusations of hypocrisy and weakness. Critics argue that Sanders' reactions undermine his own messages about character and resilience. With the Colorado football season approaching, questions about Sanders' ability to handle pressure and criticism intensify amidst rivalries. The situation raises concerns about the program's stability as they prepare for their upcoming games.
