The excitement surrounding the start of Deion Sanders’ head coaching tenure at Colorado is at a mind-numbing level. In fact, it’s reminiscent of another recent splashy coaching hire: Nebraska after it hired Scott Frost in 2017.
Following the Colorado commitment of Cormani McClain, a five-star recruit and No. 1 cornerback in the class of 2023, a new wave of outlandish media takes hit the Internet and social media. Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt, a Colorado alum, may have the most outlandish.
“I fully expect, in year two under Deion Sanders at Colorado, that they are competing as a top two or three team in the [Pac-12],” Klatt said. “Which means they are competing for the conference crown. Which means they are competing for a chance to go to the college football playoff.”
