The Deion Sanders coaching era at Colorado begins Saturday when the Buffaloes visit No. 17 TCU. Colorado hired the charismatic Sanders away from Jackson State.

You know how I got banned from reddit CFB?
Repeatedly telling Penn state and Baylor fans that their football programs shouldn’t exist.
Penn state has warmed themselves to me a bit after the students fucked up a fascist speaker
It is INSANE to me that Briles and Lebby aren’t blacklisted from the sport. I don’t know how anyone can cheer for TCU, OU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Baylor etc in good conscience.
TCU, OU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Baylor, FSU, Syracuse, Tulsa, UNC, UNT, UCLA, and that’s just the current homes of the 2015 staff. Can’t forget FSU and FAU for Kendall Ooh, maybe we can find a B1G school whose head coach is determined to protect the legacy of an abuse enabler… or maybe three! Four if you include the one where a recent and successful head coach WAS the enabler. Maybe we can find a noble blueblood whose coach was such an obsessive, domineering asshole that he sent a scared kid up in a rickety cherry picker on a crazy blustery day and the kid died. Better not root for anybody who would continue to employ that kind of asshole, and certainly not another school that would hire him away because he wins more football games than he loses. Maybe you could even find a really solid B12 program whose blameless coach fostered a culture where players were betting against their own team.
You know what, just to be safe, maybe we should only support schools that are known for their academic prowess and would never foster decades of hazing that crossed the line into sanctioned sexual assaults.
Kendal Briles did some absolutely assholish things. He might not regret them. I wish TCU hadn’t hired him. But this is a dirty, dirty sport. You want to call me out for drawing my line in a place you find disagreeable, alright, but it’s awfully high and mighty to just pick your favorite set of lives wrecked by these functional sociopaths we all watch every year and decide THAT’S the one where the decades of community and personal connection are no longer good enough and it becomes a moral failing to hope that the worst is past us and that our team will do well.
I am not fond of Deion because everything was known, and CU still hired him, and because he’s openly cruel and dismissive in a way that even other coaches are not. I think he’s bad for the game in addition to being a bad person, and he has a level of sanctimoniousness that makes it very easy to root against him. I’d say it’s almost a job requirement to be a deeply flawed person to become a big time head football coach, but I don’t see many luxuriating in it like Deion.
