Coach Prime is finally being called out for letting Shedeur run wild and this time, it’s his friend who is making the brutal judgment. The Colorado Buffaloes haven’t had the best 2023 season with a 4-8 record. Despite their poor performance, overconfidence continues to be the policy that Deion is leading his program with, as was evident in the case of Xavier Smith’s exit.

Xavier Smith, the former defensive back for the Colorado Buffaloes, had a negative opinion of Deion Sanders and talked about how the HC told him to leave the Buffs and enter the transfer portal, in a brutal way too. The tweet that was going viral had Shedeur respond to it with sheer arrogance. Now, both Deion and Shedeur are at the forefront of all the backlash as their fans slowly turn against them.

Kayce Smith, who is known to be a dear friend of Deion, said, “I don’t care who you are, it’s just a bad look. NFL teams are not going to like this. I don’t know why Deion thinks it’s a good idea. Deion, the player, was cocky, but as a coach, you do kind of have to separate that. The problem for me is the shine has obviously worn off people are able to criticize him. I like Dion a lot but you can’t be talking s*** like that and be so public about it and there’s no leadership and then have another year like you did.

He clarified his words and said, “I gotta do better on that and not ride with it, but I was bored. I was bored, and I didn’t say nothing hurtful. I don’t attack people. I try my best to refrain, but like when you posted like stats, I said, `Lawd Jesus,’ like dang, he really went at him, like he really shot him. That’s really what I meant, and I think that was taken wrong. I think that was taken sideways or something else.

Thus, Deion seems to be apologizing, but what the entire social media scandal has done is raise the standards for the fans’ expectations from Colorado, going into this season.
