Deion Sanders Gets Roasted for “Wow These Idiots” Comment Made by Him on Aaron Donald: “You Went 4–8 Last Year”

The Colorado Buffaloes head coach, Deion Sanders, brings a unique blend of skills to NFL analysis due to his elite playing experience. He translates complex plays for viewers and isn’t afraid to critique with a fiery passion that keeps things interesting. However, his showmanship sometimes overshadows pure analysis, allowing others to get back at him.

Though Coach Prime’s analysis is well respected in the NFL fan universe, his recent tweet has come under criticism from fans after he hastily posted screenshots to prove his claim. Interestingly, the drama on the internet stems from Adam Schefter’s comments on Rams DT Aaron Donald.

Deion Sanders criticized by fans for his lack of attention to detail

Deion Sanders, aka Coach Prime, took to X on March 16 to post his support for NFL insider and journalist Adam Schefter. He tweeted, “Our critics have critics so why do we listen to critics! @AdamSchefter has always kept it 💯 & his info comes from everyone that’s as close as your shadow! Wow these idiots really missed on this 1 huh. #CoachPrime.”

Coach Prime’s tweet to support Adam Schefter didn’t go too well with fans, as they started criticizing him for his lack of attention to detail. One fan tweeted, “Might wanna check the date posted on that reply big fella. With attention to detail like this, it’s no wonder you went 4-8 last year,” referring to Colorado Buffaloes’ 4-8 win-loss record from the 2023 season. Another fan noticed the date of the tweets and tweeted, “How yall get “1D” tweets from 2014? Aint no way someone kept those tweets screenshotted this entire time lol.“

Many fans also showed support for Coach Prime. One fan supported Sanders’ words and tweeted, “Prime always keeps it real💯” while another tweeted, “Gotta love Prime! One of my 🐐 with the receipts“. One fan even joked around the whole scenario and called it a troll. He tweeted, “Coach Prime getting pranked by the trolls.“

Despite an obvious blunder from Coach Prime, he was pointing toward, by citing the example of Aaron Donald, to let sports critics do the job instead of fans becoming critics.

Aaron Donald proves the fans wrong despite facing criticism

The context of Deion Sanders’ tweet dates back to 2014 when Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald joined the Los Angeles Rams. NFL analyst Adam Schefter supported Donald in 2014 when fans criticized the Terminator. Hence, fans were calling out Aaron Donald, too, in the assumption of biased reporting or media support. But Donald proved the fans wrong with his performance by becoming stable in their lineup and helping them win a Super Bowl in 2022. After his recent retirement announcement, he is destined to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
