Coach Prime ‘should apologize’ to ‘wrongfully demoted’ Colorado OC
Mike Farrell Sports’ Scott Salomon predictably came on strong with another set of hater potshots to Coach Prime following the razor-thin 34-31 Colorado football loss to Arizona on November 11; one that ended on a game-winning field goal from Wildcats kicker Tyler Loop.
In addition to asininely asserting that the 2023 season is a “definite nightmare” despite the Buffs surpassing their preseason over/under win total and knocking off last season’s College Football Playoff runner-up, Salomon claimed that Deion Sanders should apologize to “wrongfully demoted” offensive coordinator Sean Lewis, who lost his play-calling duties to Pat Shurmur on November 3.
“Perhaps he should also apologize to his offensive coordinator, Sean Lewis, who was wrongfully demoted,” Salomon prefaced in reference to Coach Prime’s apology to the fanbase after the Arizona loss before saying, “While he is at it, he should also apologize to his offensive linemen, whom he said should all be replaced as his quarterback son took a beating against UCLA.”
Analyst shockingly not worried about Colorado football WR’s de-commitment
What’s this? Did Salomon say something that doesn’t suggest that the sky is falling in Boulder? Believe your eyes. The most anti-Coach Prime sunshine pumping (overcast pumping?) analyst on the internet isn’t overly concerned with Winston Watkins Jr.’s de-commitment from the program on November 12.
“Deion’s first commit 2025, four-star Winston Watkins, decommitted from Primeville and said that his recruitment was wide open,” Salomon prefaced before saying, “This is the third time that Watkins has committed to a program and then reneged, so it might not be much of a loss for Colorado.”
It’s not. Coach Prime has proven proficient in landing difference-makers in the receiving corps through the transfer portal, including the top three receivers by yardage in 2023: Xavier Weaver, Jimmy Horn Jr., and Travis Hunter.
Watkins still has CU as one of his top options, but his skepticism comes from Coach Prime potentially leaving Colorado after two years.
Coach Prime building stability for Colorado’s distant-future recruiting classes will go a long way towards silencing that notion, but before that’s even a thought, the next transfer portal cycle will answer a lot of questions about Sanders’ tenure in Boulder — and how long it will last considering every major Power Five job opening will have Coach Prime linked to it.
