Watch Jason Whitlock of Blaze TV’s Fearless respond to a post that Whitlock alleges Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt made about Whitlock regarding the ‘Deion Sanders haters’, as Whitlock explains why he has no respect for what Coach Prime has done in Boulder.
Check out the segment above as Whitlock details why Deion’s supposed ‘success’ is more about a corrupt system that Deion is deceptively exploiting than a maestro head coach who’s actually building a legitimate program.
Jason Whitlock: “The Buffaloes are 6-2, all my enemies are gathering up and laughing at me, -- ''wHiTlOcK, wHeN YoU ArE GoInG To gIvE DeIoN HiS FlOwErS??’...
They have an outside chance at a Big 12 championship and what do I say to that? How you win matters. Much of my criticism about Deion Sanders has been about his approach to building that football program, and I didn’t think his approach would work. His approach is not good but it is working. His approach is not healthy but it is working. That speaks to the corrupt system that has been built in college athletics, and it disappoints me that we’ve built a corrupt system.
It’s like rap music in the music industry. It’s so corrupt, so perverted, so evil, that rappers that rap about killing, stealing, and drug-dealing can reach the top of the music profession. That speaks to how corrupt the music industry is, it doesn’t say ‘HEY, SNOOP DOGG IS RIGHT!’... What it says is the system is so corrupt that corrupt people now reach the top.
Are the Colorado Buffaloes improved? Absolutely. Only a fool would say they’re not. Colorado has improved, but the system has been changed in a way that someone like Deion can come in, work the transfer portal, work name/image/likeness, and buy up enough talent to be competitive. Hats off to him, he’s working a system that I don’t respect, and I’m not going to apologize or back away from being critical of Deion’s approach. Coming in and kicking all those kids off the team, coming in and claiming ‘Christianity’ and inviting the entire rap music world and drug-promoting world to your program... I’m never getting on board with that. Part of me wants Deion and that approach to fail spectacularly.
They can win the national championship and I won’t respect the way they did it. No different than many people not liking Urban Meyer and all the criminality that went on at the University of Florida when he was winning national championships. This is what goes on at big-time college football at a lot of these places. The more corrupt your program is, the more unsavory people you allow in, the more success you have. How you go about winning matters to me. It doesn’t matter to everybody – other people just look at the results and say ‘THAT GUY IS SUCCESSFUL!’
The whole rap thing while leading with ‘Christianity’ while none of his approach matches that – THAT is what bothers me. If Deion wants to come in and be a secular coach, take the cross off, and quit trying to pretend like Jesus is walking right with him as he builds this football program – it's offensive to me. There’s no humility there. It’s all about his sons. He favors his sons and he favors Travis Hunter. It’s not a whole team spirit. It’s a group of mercenaries with Deion being one of them.
Thank you for giving Warren Sapp, who I like a lot, a coaching opportunity and a second career. Love that about Deion and what he’s done there, but the rest of it I have no respect for.”
