Colorado OC ‘one of the most underrated additions’ to coaching staff
Colorado football offensive coordinator Sean Lewis, who spent the last five years of his coaching career in his first head coach role at Kent State, was deemed “one of the most underrated additions” to Deion Sanders’ first coaching staff in Boulder by BuffsBeat’s Jason Jones.
“Deion Sanders’ squad is hitting the final stretch of Fall Camp focused on the (opener against tCU) and a new era for Colorado Football,” Jones prefaced before saying, “One of the most underrated additions to Coach Prime’s staff was offensive coordinator Sean Lewis. The former Kent State head coach brought a high-flying approach to Boulder and matches that with a very talented Shedeur Sanders at quarterback for the Buffs.”
While Lewis had just one winning season leading the Golden Flashes, his offense was humming in 2022; going for 30 or more points in six of the team’s 12 games. Just once was Kent State held to under 20 points last season — in a matchup with No. 7 Oklahoma in Week 2 in Norman.
Sean Lewis on what Colorado football must focus on ahead of 2023 season
Lewis spoke to reporters on August 22 and gave the world an idea of where his Colorado football team is at in preparation for the Buffs’ September 2 opener against TCU at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.
“We build a team, and every single day matters,” Lewis prefaced before saying, “But there’s 12 Saturdays that count, and now we’re turning the page to the ones that truly count. We’re 11 days out from playing a really good opponent, and we think we’ve got a really good team.
“Go fast, be efficient, stay on schedule. We want to work and find ways to create a numerical advantage. And then, if all those things are going to be even, we want to create leverage so that we can outflank and take away the edge of the defense.”
Lewis believes that the Buffs need to treat every day like a game situation in order for CU to succeed in a meaningful way.
“We really pride ourselves on our kids growing their situational awareness and their self-awareness,” Lewis said. “How we can stay on schedule, how we can stay on task, and just treat practice like a game each and every single day.”
