On the latest episode of his show, Whitlock called the coach out for not taking responsibility for Colorado’s current woes.“He’s ducking and trying to avoid the question. Deion Sanders does not want to be held accountable,” Whitlock said. “He’s not responsible for anything negative that happens. Now, we know that if something good happens, he is primarily almost singlehandedly responsible for that. But when bad things happen, it’s distraction. It’s how dare you hold me accountable.” (21:40)“And people defend this behavior,” he continued. “They pretend like Deion is some sort of a leader. He’s the leader of the no standards, no accountability.”This was in response to Sanders’ answer to a reporter’s question regarding a Colorado playbook being left in a hotel bar following his team’s 29-7 loss to Texas Tech.“Was it a whole playbook or a script of several plays? I don’t think we even have a whole playbook,” Sanders answered. “I thought we scored on the first drive. So what’s the purpose of the question?”The two have been sparring all over the media for years, with Whitlock being one of Deion Sanders’ loudest critics. He has not just gone after Deion Sanders but also members of his family, including Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders. In his latest criticism of the Dallas Cowboys great, Whitlock placed him on his “Mount Rushmore of entitlement” along with Stephen A. Smith, Elle Duncan and Brian Flores.The coach noted that the team gets a new playbook every week, but Whitlock accused the coach of dodging the question with that answer. Sanders downplayed the incident, saying it “happens sometimes.”Plays in Playbook Matched Colorado’s Plays vs. Texas TechDuring that loss to Texas Tech, the Buffaloes opened with a 75-yard drive resulting in a touchdown. Many of the plays the Buffs ran against Texas Tech reportedly matched those found in that playbook left at a hotel bar, as photos of what was inside were posted online. As for whether somebody might get punished for that mistake, Deion Sanders said nobody is in trouble.“If someone had left that, they left it, mistake, what are we going to do about it?” Sanders said. “It’s over. Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. We could have the opposing team’s first 10 or 15 plays. We’ve still got to stop it.”The coach also noted that coaches would not trust such findings automatically, as these playbooks that were posted could be decoys.Also Read:“We Have Passionate, Amazing Fans”: Jon Sumrall Doesn’t Fault Florida Crowd’s Booing During Loss to South Carolina“Absolutely Disgusted”: Insider Makes Thoughts Clear on JMU’s Surprise Conference Realignment Move Amid Undefeated SeasonCollege Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in tennis, college football, men’s college basketball, women’s college basketball, and college baseball!
