Colorado Buffaloes football coach Deion Sanders just announced that he overcame bladder cancer this past Monday.
Not only did he announce what comes next in his recovery – he cracked jokes that he depends on Depend, and now has a sponsorship with the diaper company – but Coach Prime made it clear what his purpose at CU is:
Make sure his players are healthy and get checked up to avoid being a statistic like he almost was.
On3’s Ari Wasserman believes Sanders’ noble return earns him the right to never have his commitment to Colorado questioned ever again.
“Throughout his entire coaching career, Sanders has been so easy to criticize. He doesn’t recruit high school kids enough; he doesn’t travel to high schools or other towns for in-home visits; he spends too much time in Texas rather than Colorado; he’s only into coaching so he can have a hand in the development of his son, Shedeur Sanders; he’ll leave Colorado the second a bigger, better job opens. You’ve heard the usual tropes, some of which have come from me,” Wasserman wrote.
“But after witnessing what Sanders just did, it feels wrong having criticized him at all.
“Yes, some of the criticism is/was warranted. When you’re a college football coach, you open yourself up to critiques, especially in the realm of talent accumulation. There is one criticism, however, that none of us can collectively ever say again: that Sanders isn’t fully committed to being a college football coach.”
Sanders has set up several future options with his recent health revelation, as Wasserman pointed out.
He’ll never have to go on a recruiting visit again. He can bow out of Boulder at any time, and it can not be held against him. His results on the field won’t be as scrutinized as it was during his highly polarizing debut season at CU…
