Deion Sanders, the coach for the Colorado Buffaloes, has a strong opinion of his new offensive coordinator, Pat Shurmur. The 56-year-old NFL Hall of Famer has been in the NCAA headlines since his debut with the Buffs this year. Recently, he was in the eye of controversy when he demoted Sean Lewis quite abruptly mid-season.

After a lot of public speculation, it was finally announced that Pat Shurmur, the former OC for the Denver Broncos, will be replacing Lewis. This decision wasn’t met with open arms, and Shurmur would have to prove himself in today’s match against Arizona. Fortunately for the fans, Shurmur didn’t disappoint, as the Colorado team only lost by 3 points. Coach Prime took to the post-match conference to discuss the significance of his new OC and the effect he had on the game.

In the post-match conference, Coach Prime talked about the much-awaited topic of Pat Shurmur and how his calls helped the team get to a score of 31 points. Though the fans were in doubt about his capabilities, he managed to hit the mark in today’s match.

Coach Prime said, “We’re not as tempo as we once were because instead of going fast I want them to get it right and uh they did a phenomenal job they did a good enough job for us to win.” Thus, even though the season is coming to a close, this new change might prove to be highly beneficial for the team’s future in the long run.

With only two games left for Coach Prime’s team, their chances of making it to the playoffs are really slim.
