NFL Veteran Issues Brutal Warning for Colorado as Deion Sanders Finds Himself on Hot Seat Again: “Back to Being Awful”

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders is facing renewed scrutiny after a dismal 29-7 loss to No. 12 Texas Tech dropped the team to 2-3 overall and 0-2 in Big 12 play, following a three-game losing streak.

Despite a strong start to the season with a 2-0 record, the Buffs have struggled to maintain consistency, particularly after key departures like Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and standout Shedeur Sanders moved on to the NFL. Sanders’ tenure has been marked by highs—including a 9-4 record in 2024 and a cultural shift that revitalized fan interest—but the recent downturn has reignited debates about his future, with NFL veterans like James Jones and LeSean McCoy warning that firing him could erase much of the progress he’s made.

Jones emphasized the risk of losing fan engagement, ticket sales, and excitement if Sanders is let go, while McCoy highlighted the coach’s broader impact on the university beyond just on-field results. The program’s instability, now in its third year under Sanders, raises questions about whether the foundation he built can withstand the loss of key players and the pressure of Big 12 competition.
