BOMBSHELL: Deion Sanders DEMOTED OC Pat Shurmur

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has reportedly demoted offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur following the Buffaloes’ disappointing 3-6 start to the 2025 season. The move comes after Colorado’s offense has struggled mightily, ranking near the bottom nationally in scoring and total yards. Shurmur, who was promoted to play-caller in 2023, will reportedly have his duties reduced as Sanders looks to shake things up for the final three games. With bowl eligibility still mathematically possible, Sanders is searching for a spark to salvage the season and reestablish momentum after high preseason expectations faded amid mounting losses and offensive inconsistency. Host Kevin Borba breaks down why Sanders missed a chance to win some points with the fans by not sharing the news sooner. Deion Sanders explained why he doesn’t allow his Colorado players to speak with the media this season, saying the decision is about protecting them — not controlling them. Sanders emphasized that young athletes already face immense pressure and scrutiny, and he wants to shield them from unnecessary criticism or distractions as the team navigates a tough year. The Buffaloes have faced mounting challenges in Sanders’ third season, but the head coach made it clear his players’ mental and emotional well-being come first. He said his focus remains on helping them grow both on and off the field. Borba dives into why he understands this move, but also doesn't love it.
