Deion Sanders has already achieved a lot during his ongoing commendable stint in Colorado. As one can expect, the media coverage around him has been extensive, being mostly on the positive side. However, former OL Jason Whitlock reckons that most of the coverage around Coach Prime is a reflection of his weakness and not strength.

On his show Fearless With Jason Whitlock, Whitlock referred to Coach Prime as ‘weak’ and ‘fragile’ in response to a clip from ‘The Undisputed’ where Skip Bayless showered praises on Deion. According to Whitlock, the image of Sanders by the media is driven by the fear of missing his appearances in their shows.
Jason Whitlock Lashes Out at Deion Sanders
During a recent episode of ‘Fearless With Jason Whitlock,‘ Jason responded with utter dislike for Coach Prime calling him names in a response to Bayless’ stance on the Colorado coach. In a recent episode of ‘The Undisputed’, Skip Bayless went harsh on the ‘white coaches’ like Dan Lanning who pursued Prime Time with a sense of vengeance. Responding to Skip’s positive take on Deion, Jason said,
“It speaks to how weak Deion is, because they know if they don’t drop to their knees and kiss Deion’s b*tt, he won’t come back on their show. You get punched on the mouth and oh now maybe I’m not coming on the show.”
Whitlock went on to accuse the likes of Skip Bayless and Keyshawn Johnson for being way too positive about Coach Prime in their coverage. “What Ryan Clark did, what Skip’s doing, what Keyshawn Johnson’s doing, everybody is dropping to their knees and kissing Deion’s b*tt. Deion is so fragile that if they don’t kiss his butt he won’t come on their show. It is such a cowardly form of alleged manhood and leadership. I just can’t respect it,” Jason stated.
Whitlock didn’t stop here as he continued to attribute Deion’s success to the people who provide him with unconditional support. He blamed everyone in support of Colorado Buffaloes HC of rationalizing everything that he does, with an intent of being softer on him.
Fiery Replies from Dan Lanning on Skip Bayless’ “White Coach” Criticism
Skip Bayless’ criticism of Oregon Ducks HC Dan Lanning wasn’t taken sportingly by the latter. Bayless recently referred to Lanning as one of those coaches that are going up against Deion with a sense of vengeance. After this, Lanning shot back at the Undisputed host with a fiery response aiming right at his credibility.
Lanning added, “I mean I don’t know Skip at all. I’ve never had a conversation with him. I’ve watched them enough to know how often he gets it wrong. So I mean that sounds about right.”
It will be interesting to see how Lanning’s Ducks perform in the coming games. As far as Deion and the Buffs are concerned, they do have a herculean task ahead of them in the coming week. The Buffs would be up against the mighty USC this Saturday and without a doubt, it will be an entertaining clash.
