In his?latest Instagram story, Coach Prime addressed his haters in an absorbing statement. He posted, “If you’re reading this and you don’t like me, you don’t like what I’m doing or how I’m doing it but you seem to watch EVERYTHING I do you’re a FAN! Therefore I’m gonna allow you to continue to blow (air) because I’m gonna stay HOT! #CoachPrime God got me!“
The faceoff with Oregon did a lot of damage to Colorado when they sank 42-6. Coach Prime’s son, Shedeur Sanders, was sacked seven times. It was a humbling experience for the 56-year-old Super Bowl champion and the Buffaloes. However, he still portrayed a confident front and faced the backlash with grace.?
One hard blow came from Oregon’s head coach, Dan Lanning, who told his team on ESPN, “The Cinderella story’s over, men. They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins. There’s a difference.” While it is not clear to whom Sanders’ recent story was addressed to, it was clear that all the critics received a powerful message.?
Deion Sanders sounded confident in God and himself. Not only that, ‘Coach Prime’ applied the ultimate way to handling this tough time. Referring to his fault-finders, he said, “you’re a fan.” This was Sanders’ way of putting across the message that at the end of the day all that matters is striving forward and not giving up. Per Coach Prime, this term is probably justified as they watch his every move, eager to get everything out of him.?
