The Colorado Buffaloes finished with just a 4-8 record in their first season under head coach Deion Sanders despite starting the season 3-0. It might have been a disappointing result to some, but Sanders actually sounds quite pleased with what happened, because it gives him and his team a chance to grow.
During a press conference following the end of the season, Deion Sanders said that he is “truly thankful” for the way this season transpired because it allows him and the team a chance to grow as a result.
“In the beginning of the season, I kind of saw around the corner,” Sanders said. “I forewarned you guys at the Oregon game. You better get us now because I know what we have in house. I know we don’t have, I know what we’re lacking tremendously and that was a prelude to some things that kind of fell apart as well, that they really dominated our weaknesses.
“But I love everything that transpired. I could not grow if I didn’t go through what we’ve gone through. I could not prosper if I didn’t glean from what transpired this season. I could not be who I am if I didn’t have these tasks at hand. I’m truly thankful. This is not the first challenge I’ve had in my life, but I know how I finish. I know how this is gonna end. I promise you I know how this is gonna end.”
Despite the 4-8 record, Sanders still sounds quite optimistic about the future. It will certainly be interesting to see how the team handles next season.
