Deion Sanders’ first season as head coach of the Colorado football program didn’t end nearly as well as it started. After a 3–0 start to the season, the Buffaloes limped to a 4–8 finish.
Colorado’s disappointing 1–8 end of the year resulted in many of Sanders’s critics making their opinions heard. But ESPN’s Robert Griffin III took the time to commend “Coach Prime” on a considerable improvement over the 1–11 team he took over.
Not everyone shared Griffin’s sentiments on the matter, however, and that included former NFL head coach Jay Gruden.
