The debut season for Deion Sanders with the Colorado Buffaloes was unbelievably tumultuous. The chaos appeared to have delayed itself as the season ended with the Buffs making a 4-8 departure. This ended rather quickly as the offseason brought in more whirlwinds as a series of high-profile coaches departed from the team, as well as recruits de-committing.

One of the most notable exits was the resignation of TE Coach Tim Brewster. He left a heartwarming note before leaving Sanders’ side, calling him an ‘amazing man and leader’. Reportedly, he has now joined the Charlotte team as a TE coach and associate head coach.

The confirmation that the resignations were cordial as the exit notes already suggested gave a breath of relief to the Buffaloes fans. However, even as Coach Prime appeared happy for the staff, there is no doubt that the team needs better men to lead them. Warren Sapp’s induction into the team has brought some relief, even as the former staff left in search of greener pastures.
