Colorado coach Deion Sanders lost again on Friday night, and afterward he was stunned by how badly his 1-2 team is playing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t good. I\u2019m at a loss for words,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cNo one could have told me that it was gonna turn out like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sanders started to say something about his team, paused and then said he was being led not to say everything he\u2019s thinking.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Lord, thank you. I\u2019m thanking God for not allowing me to say what I want to say,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t good. It wasn\u2019t good at all. I take full responsibility of the foolishness that went on out there that we tried to name football. We tried to call it football. It wasn\u2019t that. We\u2019ve got to do better in every phase of the game. We\u2019ve got to do better preparing our kids. We\u2019ve got to do better, period.\u201d<\/p>\n
When a reporter asked him about his team struggling, Sanders said it\u2019s a lot worse than that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not struggling. We\u2019re getting our butts kicked. You don\u2019t have to be polite with me. You don\u2019t have to sugarcoat it,\u201d Sanders said.<\/p>\n
Although Sanders has done a lot to turn Colorado around since he got the job — it was the worst team in any of college football\u2019s major conferences the year before he arrived — he is now just 14-14 through 28 games as head coach. For all the hype surrounding Sanders\u2019 arrival, the results haven\u2019t matched it. And he knows that\u2019s his responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Colorado coach Deion Sanders lost again on Friday night, and afterward he was stunned by how badly his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140115,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-140114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140114"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140114\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
