Watch Jason Whitlock of Blaze TV’s Fearless explain why he’s always going to pull against Deion Sanders as a head coach and remain arguably Sanders' biggest critic in the media, as Whitlock says he has no respect for the phony and deviant way that Coach Prime is exploiting a new age of college football where ‘corruption’, not team-building, can get you immediate success.
Check out the segment above as Whitlock details the spiritual issues he has with Sanders intertwining a phony facade of Christianity with a degenerate locker room culture at Colorado.
Jason Whitlock: "Are the Colorado Buffaloes improved? Absolutely. Only a fool would say that they’re not. Their defensive side of the football, particularly their front-seven, but their whole unit. Between Travis Hunter, number seven the safety is a really good player, [Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig], the other two corners that play opposite Travis Hunter... Their defense is improved, hats off to them. Their offense is dangerous. There's speed on the outside, their receivers are talented, Shedeur Sanders can get them the ball, and the offensive line has improved. 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. I’m not going to apologize for that, and I'm not going to 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-using and drug promoting world to your football program -- I’m never getting on board with that. NEVER. There's part of me that wants Deion and that approach to fail spectacularly. Yes, it is true.
Here's where I will give Deion credit and I mean this sincerely. Everybody here knows I like Warren Sapp. LOVE the fact that Deion Sanders gave Warren Sapp a chance to coach. I'm not sure if anybody else would have done it, particularly at the Power-5 level. To see Warren Sapp come into his own and now have this successful career as a coach with or without Deion from this point forward. Warren is the assistant defensive line coach and he's going to get a lot of credit. Anybody that watches Colorado's defensive line play knows it's significantly better than a year ago, and Warren is going to get credit for that. I respect the fact that Deion gave Warren Sapp this opportunity. I really do and I mean that sincerely. Deion has given some Black coaches a chance to come together and do something significant. These guys will benefit from their experience with Deion. Hats off to them, that's the part of Deion I respect. The rest of it I still have no respect for. They can win the national championship and I won’t respect the way they did it.
No different than there are many people that don't like Urban Meyer and all the criminality that went on at the University of Florida when he was winning national championships at Florida. Looking the other way as Aaron Hernandez, and the other arrests were going on at the University of Florida. This is what goes along with 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!’, he's won 'X' number of games... And yes, I'm aware that corruption in college football was there before Deion Sanders, it'll be there after Deion Sanders, and he's not the first -- just like I just referenced Urban Meyer. Urban Meyer is someone, just being completely honest, is someone I have respect for. Deion -- the whole rap thing, the whole leading with ‘Christianity’ while none of his approach matches that – that's what bothers me.
If Deion wants to come in and be a secular coach, take the cross off, and quit trying to pretend that Jesus is walking right with him as he builds this football program – it's offensive to me. There’s no humility there from Deion. It’s all about his sons. He favors both of his sons and Travis Hunter, it’s not a whole team spirit. It’s a group of mercenaries; Deion being one of them.
Deion may win ten games, I hope he doesn't. I'm never going to back away from that. If he does, credit to him; thank you for giving Warren Sapp an 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.”
