“Pay for That”: Coach Prime Sanctions Entire Colorado Team Over Few Players’ Irresponsible Locker Room Antics

Published 04/03/2024, 12:45 PM EDT

Coach Primе is frustratеd! Evеr since taking up thе hеad coach role in Colorado, Dеion Sandеrs has been adamant about instilling accountability, rеsponsibility, and maturity in his young collеgе football athlеtеs. His mantra? “Elеvatе and dominatе” both on and off thе fiеld. While еnjoying a holiday in thе Dominican Rеpublic, Coach Primе еxprеssеd his dеsirе for thе Buffaloеs playеrs to stеp up and takе rеsponsibility.

Howеvеr, it sееms that some playеrs havе takеn this dirеctivе lightly, much to Sandеrs’ dismay. Now, as thе hеad coach, Dеion Sandеrs is rеsolutе in addressing this issuе hеad-on, еnsuring that his tеam undеrstands thе importancе of thеir actions and thе standards hе еxpеcts thеm to uphold.

During their Wednesday team meeting, Coach Prime received complaints about a cluttered locker room and he wasted no time addressing the internal issue as a priority. Playing footage of the disorganized locker room strewn with cluttered shoes, joggers, and other items, Deion Sanders confronted Shedeur & Co., stating, “So we know whose locker those were, correct? Yes, but we’re a team, correct? So all of us are going to pay for that. It’s our house… Some of you were raised like that. Your parents let you get down like that? I am not one of those parents. So we’re going to take care of that after practice today.”

Coach Prime’s approach to handling such matters typically involves addressing them before practice. However, with the Spring Game approaching at the end of April, he prioritized practice first and made it clear that the team would collectively address the issue afterward. He laid down a strict ultimatum, stating, “And if one of you quit, you’re off the team… We’re not going to live like that… We’re going to be good on the field and off the field and in the community. That’s how we’re going to be. You’re going to be men. We’re not raising boys. We’re raising men. We good? Let’s have a great day.”

Talking about setting an example of “raising men,” there’s no better role model on the CU campus than Deion Sanders himself.

In a previous video captured by Well Off Media, Coach Prime was seen passionately motivating players during training sessions with multiple repetitions and punctuating his coaching with his signature cry of “Let’s go, D.” During one such moment, a player kneeled to tie his shoelaces. Without hesitation, Coach Prime extended a helping hand. Deion Sanders approached with care, crouched down, and tied the player’s shoelaces while reassuring him with “I got you.”

In a seamless transition, he returned to his coaching role, rallying the players with a firm command: “Hey, fellas, let’s go to work. We got five plays, five reps.” This ability to swiftly shift between roles showcases the Buffs HC’s adeptness at managing different facets of his personality.
