Deion Sanders is losing more than commits following his disastrous second half of the 2023 season with the Colorado Buffaloes. Per multiple reports, Sanders lost his offensive coordinator to a school offering a head-coaching promotion.
After Colorado’s eighth game of the season, Sanders demoted Sean Lewis from the Buffaloes’ play-calling duties. According to Brett McMurphy of Action Network HQ, Sean Lewis is taking the head-coaching job at San Diego State University.
Deion Sanders loses Sean Lewis to SDSU
Lewis was Kent State’s head coach before accepting the Buffaloes offensive coordinator.
Lewis’ hire by SDSU to become their head coach reflects poorly on Sanders after he demoted Lewis earlier this season. Given how Colorado performed after the demotion, Sanders looks like a coach who makes impulsive decisions when trying to shift blame.
Sanders has now lost two members of his staff this season in three days. Tim Brewster, who was demoted from tight ends coach to analyst midseason, announced his resignation from Sanders’ staff on Sunday.
Sanders lost three recruits in a 24-hour span this week, including two quarterbacks. He will be busy assembling a staff while adding new blood to his declining roster.
Sounds like a repeat of Sanders’ first offseason as Colorado’s coach. Will the results be better next season?
