Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are preparing for another practice session in the pleasant weather. However, as the spring football game approaches, Coach Prime is placing a significant emphasis on the mental well-being of his players. His morning speech revolves around the crucial topic of “complaints.”

Several months ago, Deion Sanders faced a challenging situation when a player criticized him for a controversial move. However, the 56-year-old Buffs HC is determined to prevent a similar incident this season. He now encourages his players to voice their complaints, fostering a culture of transparency and open communication.

In a recent YouTube post by Well Off Media, Deion Sanders delivered a powerful pep talk to his Buffs before their outdoor game. He underscored the word “complain” and even read out the various definitions of the term. His message was clear, “I’m sick of somebody and a multitude of people always playing like they’re the victims, that everybody has some kind of way transpired against you to get you out of here.

In his message, Coach Prime clarifies that the Buffs’ facility isn’t a ground for complaints. Instead, he calls CU “the most welcome and generous blessed” place where they provide a “multiplicity of opportunities.” He further challenged his players and asked them if anyone didn’t get a chance to be what they wanted to be at CU. Interestingly, this pep talk comes months after a former Buffs player called out his alarming behavior.

Former CU Buffs LB exposed the dark side of Coach Prime

Just one month after the 2023 season began, Coach Prime dismissed LB Eoghan Kerry from the team. During an interview on the Fearless with Jason Whitlock podcast, Kerry exposed Deion Sanders’ behind-the-scenes attitude. According to Kerry, Coach Prime released him because he wasn’t cut out to be a linebacker, and the team needed an “older, more physical, stronger guy.”

Kerry expressed his disappointment in Coach Prime, saying, “I thought he was going to come in, mentor me, and kind of take me under his wing.” Even though he had no desire to leave Boulder, he had to abide by his HC’s unconventional orders. He remarked, “To be ignored and, eventually, dismissed hurt. I can’t speak to why he did it. I just have to respect that he did.” We may never get to the bottom of what exactly happened. But hopefully, such scenarios don’t have to repeat itself.
