Since Deion Sanders took the helm at Colorado, he’s been all about flipping the script. Known for his assertive approach, Sanders is reshaping the team but not without some drama.
This buzz started when Xavier Smith, a former player, critiqued Sanders in The Athletic.
He claimed Sanders advised him to hit the transfer portal, saying this move shook many players’ confidence.
Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son, hit back on Twitter, defending his dad’s tough-love approach by downplaying Smith’s impact on the team.
This family tag-team highlights the inner circle’s tight defense against criticism.

The social media exchanges, especially with Colorado’s disappointing 4-8 record, caught the public’s eye.
Deion himself clapped back at a critic to stand up for his son, showcasing his readiness to mix it up online for family and team.
Deion’s clear-cut vision has led to a significant roster turnover, with 53 players exiting since his start.
While this strategy aims for better results, it’s stirred debate on its impact on team morale and player development.
With Sanders at the wheel, it’s a wait-and-see game for Colorado football.
His star power and decisive moves promise to keep fans engaged, whether they agree with his methods or not.
