Watch: Colorado HC Deion Sanders calls out players for unusual reason

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Grey Papke | Last updated 8/17/23

Deion Sanders is getting his Colorado team ready for the start of the 2023 season, and he is laying down the law when he needs to.

In a new behind-the-scenes video, Sanders lit in to his team after observing some players not backing up teammates during a fight. A scuffle broke out this week during a particularly intense practice that involved most of the team, but not all of it, which did not fly with Sanders.

“He just fought. I seen two of y’all walking off over there, and you got a key teammate fighting,” Sanders told a group of players. “Where they do that at? Where they do that at?

“If one fight, we all fight; you understand that? I don’t want to see y’all walking off when somebody’s fighting. Never again!”

Beyond giving a brief look at Sanders’ coaching style, the video also makes clear the kind of identity the new coach is trying to forge in his team. The Buffaloes are going to be a tough unit and a group that definitely sticks up for each other.

Colorado opens its season against TCU on Sept. 2, which is already presenting a bit of a challenge to the Horned Frogs.
