How CHAOTIC are things for Deion Sanders and the CU Buffs? | Brian Howell joins The Drive
The turmoil around Colorado football is raising difficult questions—and longtime Buffs reporter Brian Howell says the atmosphere feels familiar. He joins Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay on The Drive to discuss the growing cracks he sees in a program he covers day to day.
Having covered six CU head coaches, Howell draws comparisons to the final weeks of previous coaching eras, including those of Karl Dorrell and Mike MacIntyre. He describes a familiar pattern: mounting losses, cracks in the foundation and blame spreading as the pressure increases.
But Howell makes an important distinction: he isn’t saying Deion Sanders’ tenure is necessarily coming to an end. Instead, he explains why the current environment reminds him of difficult stretches he has witnessed before—and why that comparison should get Buffs fans’ attention.
Zach and Phil ask whether the sense of chaos they see from the outside matches what Howell is observing around the program. The conversation offers a veteran reporter’s perspective on Colorado’s instability and the questions surrounding its direction.
