“You’re Not the Only Person Recruiting”: Deion Sanders Handed Brutal Reality Check Amid Criticism Over No-Home Visits

Being a college football coach can be a highly taxing job due to the constant media coverage and scrutiny from naysayers, especially when you’re Deion Sanders. Recently, podcasters have made severe allegations about Sanders on the Until Saturday: A show about college football questioning his dedication and loyalty towards his job with the Buffaloes.

They identify the factors that propelled him to the top stage, comparing him with other coaches and keeping his high brand value in mind. They also criticized his recruitment technique, alongside his decision to venture into a book tour during the off-season. Should he have dedicated more time to improving the Colorado roster and helping them become national contenders? Let’s dive into it.

Is Deion Sanders not embracing his job at Colorado?

With Colorado showing signs of improvement, it is evident that fans and analysts probably need more convincing of his dedication towards the team. A critical factor in the podcast is how his celebrity status can help Colorado equip five-star prospects even without personally meeting with their families.

Despite securing such deals, they questioned his commitments. Travis Hunter is termed as a prime example of Coach Prime’s massive pull. The podcaster underlined how he is in the ‘result-oriented business‘ to build a competitive college team. Delving further into the topic, they discussed, “The results for building a college football program at a high level are not there…. If he’s able to close on a 5-star prospect at the end of every cycle, without visiting….. what would he be if he actually embraced the job fully?” While the podcasters appreciated his efforts, they questioned his stardom and showmanship coming in between his jobs.

Is Deion leaving Colorado soon?

Deion has said time and again that he’ll be in Colorado until the end of his career, but now more than ever, his words are under doubt. Being critical of his decisions, one panelist said, “You’re Not the Only Person Recruiting.” Talking about his recruitment strategy, another podcaster said, “He won’t visit kids and seems disinterested in recruiting high school classes… I feel like I’m watching him fail in real-time. I don’t think he’ll be the Colorado coach two years from now.”

The analysts bluntly question Sanders’s reasons, like health concerns between traveling to meet the recruits and players, by saying he had time for his book tour instead, casting a double-shadow on the Buffaloes. His celebrity status, coming in between his ability to recruit, has been questioned relatively straightforwardly, underlining that these factors should help him get five-star recruits instead.

The general sentiments in the podcast could be felt that they could have been more impressed by Coach Prime’s persona, which, on most occasions, does not take away the attention from the players and the game. Could Sanders keep aside his other commitments and be more dedicated as a college football coach in the changing landscape? Let us know in the comments below.
