In an effort to shake things up amid his team’s struggles, Colorado coach Deion Sanders relieved his offensive coordinator of play-calling duties this week ahead of the matchup against Oregon State. The change didn’t result in a win, though, as the Buffaloes' season continues to slide.
Following the 26–19 loss to the No. 16 Beavers, Sanders explained why he relieved OC Sean Lewis of play-calling and instead gave that responsibility to Pat Shurmur, a former NFL coach who has been working as an analyst for Colorado.
“We’re not gonna demean Sean Lewis,” Sanders said when asked about making Shurmur the play-caller instead of Lewis, according to USA Today Sports. “We’re not gonna do that. We’re not gonna take that tone. Sean is a good man. I think he’s a good play-caller.
