Deion Sanders — an intriguing combination of old and new school — is the talk of college football after his debut with Colorado.
Deion Sanders is the perfect disrupter for this moment in college football. The sport’s establishment has underestimated him in ways that his prolific mouth cannot articulate. Here he comes, loud and swaggering, armed with the coaching acuity and nimble leadership to navigate a wild time.Once derided as a famous outsider masquerading as a coach, Sanders threatens to be a cheat code now. After a 27-6 record at Jackson State, Coach Prime is the talk of the industry after his debut with Colorado.
A year ago, when Sonny Dykes arrived at TCU, he turned the transfer portal into his salvation, transforming the Horned Frogs from a 5-7 team to a 13-2 squad that advanced to the national title game. And Colorado just beat TCU with extreme usage of the transfer portal.When Sanders took over, he made the controversial remark to the Colorado holdovers: “'I’m bringing my luggage with me, and it’s Louis [Vuitton].” The Buffaloes began the season with 86 new players on the roster.
As a coach, Sanders is an interesting combination of old and new school, mixed with something he must have taught himself at home. He is inflexible about manners and the appropriate clothing to wear during meetings. But his teams play with flair, and the coach is as obsessed with their on-field style as he was during his Hall of Fame career. He commands respect, spurs laughter and delivers the most charismatic, unscripted locker-room speeches.
On Saturday, after his first Football Bowl Subdivision triumph, he talked about the fight for respect that Black coaches face.
