No consensus around Colorado right now — the fanbase is genuinely divided.

Deion Sanders's year 4 (2026): 2-0, behind Mike Sanford Jr.'s 3-9 in the same spot.

Most Colorado fans liked what they saw — but a real minority isn't convinced.

What the hell was with Georgia Tech calling that timeout when we were trying to spike it after the big run? Thanks I guess. Let us set up the game winning TD play

job securityOne fan's take

One fan thinks Deion Sanders is being criticized more than other coaches for similar actions

Let's be honest we can all name several coaches and Universities who are terrible..But to just focus on Deion and Colorado shows me something about you... Colorado is much better. They were 1-11... has he been 4 years yet? We give other coaches time but for some reason we don't give it to him.

coaching decisionOne fan's take that season

One fan believes the team's offensive line is poorly managed

The coaching isn't great right now, but all of the other position groups are playing well enough to win these games. It really is pretty much squarely on the quarterback.

One fan argues they should be lined up differently

Whatever youth coach put miller as a wide receiver did us an injustice

One fan criticizes Deion for running out the clock too early

Deion's clock management is still a fucking nightmare 3 seasons in. This was inexcusable at the start of last season. Actually insane it has not improved at all
