Losing record. Butt kissing somewhere.
Sportsperson of the year...more clicks on ESPN and si website than anyone else.
What a dumb accolade. If UC had gone 9-1....maybe.
They must have voted in September.
I'd nominate Harbaugh for bringing electronic surveillance to college football.
Truly AMAZING!
In the year of the TRANNY a straight Christian family man is SI’s sportsperson of the YEAR?
Talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations.
He did bring a lot of attention and excitement to Colorado. But I’d expect he’ll leave as soon as his sons are drafted by NFL teams, so there’s definitely a time limit.
I am in agreement with the award. Prime has brought tremendous interest into NCAA FB.
I am amazed at the disdain shown in previous posts.
...because everyone gets a trophy - especially those the Left wants to exploit.
Media like SI touted Sanders as the Second Coming for several weeks, and now he is the Man of the Year despite a mediocre record, so there is a circularity about the whole thing. This is an insult to people far more deserving. It is more a testament to the power of the media to distort reality for their own purposes.
For what! Being a black man in sports?
Well he did manage to win last place in the Pac 12. Did they give him coach of the year too?
Love him or hate him, he brings excitement.
Watched him play at Doak Campbell a few times. Did not disappoint.
He’s a marketing scheme, a ploy, a self serving megalomanic who is teaching young Black men to be as bad or worse than he is.
Watching some commentary from Michael Irvin and Keyshawn Johnson on FS1 about this. They said Deion won for being “unapologetically, authentically black” and for “bringing people of all races together.” And that Deion’s W-L record wasn’t nor should have been even a consideration. It’s all about his blackness, and that’s enough. Like Obama winning the Nobel.
He was the singular most important person on the team when they were winning early. Not a good approach to coaching or a team.
