Days after losing to the Oregon Ducks in Week 4, Deion Sanders is still facing hate and criticism from naysayers. The 42-6 loss came as a devastating roadblock to his honeymoon phase and an alleyway for criticism to pop through. But what are Coach Prime’s opinions about the hate he’s receiving?

Amidst the joys and celebration of Deion Sanders’ Colorado honeymoon phase with 3-0, some naysayers wish to see him crushed. The opportunity to troll came when the Buffaloes lost a humiliating game to Oregon with 199-522 total yards. Prime Time was mocked even by the Duck’s mascot, who entered the field with Coach Prime’s signature cowboy hat and sunglasses and a clock necklace that read “Time’s Up.”
In response, Coach Prime posted an interesting story via Instagram, saying, “You remember everything but they’re times you need to forget it & move on. I know what they did but move on, I know what was said but moved on & I know what they’re about but you’ve got to move on. When you do you can walk into your destiny unencumbered. LET’S GO! #CoachPrime.”
Oregon head coach Dan Lanning said, “The Cinderella story is over, men. They’re fighting for clicks; we’re fighting for wins.” Other trolls also came, such as one from Skip Bayless, who posted, “After three quarters, the Ducks are dancing on their sideline… Dancing on Colorado’s grave.“
But Deion Sanders remains determined and knows what critics have to say about him. He said, “People around the country would say, ‘This is what they needed to humble themselves.’ We weren’t arrogant or whatever, we’re confident people. If our confidence offends your insecurity, that’s a problem with you, it’s not us.”

We can’t deny Deion Sanders is writing a fairytale for Colorado after leading them to 3-0 compared to the 1-11 last season. The former Baltimore Ravens defender is the only person to make an appearance in both the Super Bowl and World Series. After leaving his mark on Jackson State as the head coach, he joined Colorado and brought transformation in every aspect.
Coach Prime’s arrival in Boulder is a blessing to college football. Under his powerful coaching, he successfully led the team to three back-to-back victories against TCU, Nebraska, and Colorado State. While the Oregon upset may be a block, he’s prepared to face the USC Trojans in Week 5.
