Deion Sanders was hired as the next head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes football program<\/u><\/a> in December, given the job of turning around a program that has won 10 games in a season just once in the past 21 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sanders has gone about rebuilding the roster he inherited, using the transfer portal<\/u><\/a> to add new talent with others exiting via the portal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Colorado returns just 10 scholarship players from 2022 with 68 new scholarship players on the roster, according to The Athletic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday, Sanders said there were some players who didn\u2019t love the game of football when he took over as head coach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It was tremendously tough, because you had some young men that just didn\u2019t want to play the game. They didn\u2019t love football. It\u2019s hard for me to be effective if you don\u2019t love it, if you don\u2019t like it, if you don\u2019t want to live it. That\u2019s tough,” Sanders said when asked whether it was difficult implementing his program when he first took over.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s tremendously tough when you\u2019re looking at a body of just dead eyes. That\u2019s tough on any coach, not just me. I\u2019m pretty sure a multitude of coaches have experienced that until they could clean house and get the roster they want. It was tremendously challenging day by day. I\u2019m happy with what I see every morning now. I really am.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sanders\u2019 roster overhaul at Colorado has caused controversy in the college football world<\/u><\/a>, with some coaches not impressed with how Sanders has gone about flipping the roster.<\/p>\n

Following Colorado\u2019s Spring Game, Sanders used an NCAA rule<\/u><\/a> that stipulates that first-year head coaches may cut players from the roster, although the university must honor the players’ scholarships.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi<\/u><\/a> took issue with the way Sanders used the rule.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I grew up in a profession that you can’t tell a guy that he has to leave based on athletic ability,” Narduzzi told 247 Sports in May. “I think he’ll be shocked that he probably had some pretty good football players in that room. When I got to Pitt back in 2015, I didn’t kick anybody off. Zero. Those are your guys. When you become a head coach you inherit that team, and you coach that team. If someone wants to leave, that’s great. You don’t kick them out. I disagree with that whole process. That’s not why I got in the game.”<\/p>\n

Sanders is preparing for his first season as head coach of an FBS program, and his presence alone has put Colorado back on the map.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Buffaloes open the 2023 college football season against TCU<\/u><\/a>, a game that will be broadcasted on FOX as part of the network\u2019s “Big Noon Saturday” telecast.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
