Breaking news; Big 12 decommited Shedeur Sanders announcing his resignation and departure because of his father coach mistakes
Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders is aiming to be the exception to the rules, as he leads a Buffaloes’ team guided by his father, Deion Sanders. Making history would be cool, he said, but he really doesn’t care about the history.
“I just focus on it as the next thing to do,” Sanders to BuffZone recently. “I let everybody do research and stuff like that. I just focus on that’s the next task at hand and that’s just what we’ve got to do.”
Per research done by CU and BuffZone, there have been only eight situations in major college football since World War II where a head coach had his son as the full-time starting quarterback.
Sanders will be only the fourth quarterback in Power 5 history to be the full-time starter for his father’s team, joining Dickey, Hawkins and Minnesota’s Tim Salem in 1980.
Sanders found that bit of information interesting, but said, “We won championships two years in a row (together at Jackson State). It’s very rare for a quarterback to go to the SWAC and never lose a game. It’s rare for a freshman or sophomore to throw 40-plus touchdowns and have the numbers I did. There’s only three people in the country that did that last year. So a lot of stuff is rare, but it’s just, like, it’s normal.
