Prior to Colorado football’s showdown with Colorado State, coach Jay Norvell criticized Sanders for wearing a hat and sunglasses during media interviews. Likewise, before the Buffaloes faced the Oregon Ducks, Dan Lanning accused them of ?fighting for clicks’ rather than wins. Although some view these messages from rival coaches as motivation for players, they are still seen as a personal attack on Sanders.?
Deion, on the contrary, is a coach who never speaks negatively about opposing teams or their coaches. He refrains from personal attacks, which is unlike some of his rival coaches. His focus remains solely on his team and the progress they are making within the Colorado football program. But, due to the escalating negativity and personal attacks, there has been growing pressure on him to speak out. In response, he posted a message on Instagram that reads, “Let’s trust God and what we see and hear. Faith is..??! #CoachPrime”.

Coach Prime also made sure to emphasize that he never tries to put down an opponent just to lift himself up.?Ev?n wh?n I play?d, ?v?rybody thought I talk?d,? Sand?rs add?d. ?I n?v?r talk?d (n?gativ?ly about oppon?nts). I just r?ally had a good tim? with th? m?dia, and I talk?d about m?. I n?v?r spok? of my oppon?nt. You can’t find on? clip of m? ?v?r sp?aking n?gativ?ly or about my oppon?nt, p?riod. I don?t b?li?v? in that. I don’t condon? that.??
