Jason Whitlock has been known for firing shots at anybody and now he is directing his ire toward the direction of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.
On a recent episode of The Blaze, the former Fox Sports and ESPN analyst revealed that he believes that Colorado lacks culture, and is more so predicated on boosting the stats of Shedeur Sanders.
“I watched the (Colorado) game and then I watched Deion’s post-game press conference where he threw his offensive coordinator basically under the bus,” Whitlock said.
He continued talking about the nepotism he feels that offensive coordinator Sean Lewis has to deal with in coaching Shedeur.
“I think Sean Lewis, the offensive coordinator at Colorado, probably has the toughest job in all of college football, He’s got to coach the coach’s kid at quarterback. A head coach of a team with his son at quarterback in major college football? This is a recipe for chaos and little league pee-wee football type stuff going on.”
Whitlock then stated that Shedeur was turning into Johnny Manziel.
“It comes off very Johnny Manziel-ish, and that did not go over well in the NFL,” Whitlock said. “He’s in a protective bubble with his dad there. Their offensive line is not great but I’m not sure if it’s as bad as it’s being forced to look, because they could have established the running game.”

Whitlock continued attacking Deion:
“Deion celebrates a loss against USC and then turns around and takes a dump on a victory against Arizona State, and he’s wondering why his team isn’t playing with the fire and emotion early in games that he wants? I’m looking at a very inexperienced head coach that’s flying by the seat of his pants and is worried about his son, his son’s NFL future, and his son being in the Heisman Trophy race. Deion is taking care of his son but I’m not sure he’s taking care of that football team.”
At 4-2, the Colorado Buffaloes are just two wins away from bowl eligibility. That is only a feat they’ve accomplished only twice in the past seven years. After last week’s win at Arizona State, the Buffs surpassed expectations from oddsmakers, who had the team winning only three games this season.
Bowl eligibility would notch yet another major milestone for first-year head coach Deion Sanders, who’s proven he’s capable of getting results after months of preseason hype.
The Buffs haven’t won a bowl game since beating UTEP in 2004.
