The Sanders family is keeping all of the receipts.
Colorado head coach Deion Sanders said Monday on The Pat McAfee Show that his son, Shedeur, remembered getting snubbed by current TCU offensive coordinator Kendal Briles at a camp a few years ago.
Pat McAfee @PatMcAfeeShow"When we went to a camp of the offensive coordinator that we just played against he didn't pay Shedeur any attention.. <br><br>He remembered that and he wanted to beat that guy so bad that he just went to work on Saturday" ~ <a href="">@DeionSanders</a> <a href="">#PMSLive</a> <a href="">
"So he chose FAU because he had a relationship with Willie Taggart that derived from FSU when he was gonna go there," Sanders said. "But the coordinator that we're playing against this week was there, and he didn't treat [Shedeur] kindly. So there's a lot of blood in that thing. There's a lot of bad blood in that thing."
The timelines are a little murky, though.
Briles coached at FAU, but it was on Lane Kiffin's staff in 2017. And while he worked under Taggart for one season at Florida State (2019), he was already the offensive coordinator at Arkansas when Shedeur pledged his future to Taggart and the Owls.
Shedeur had also spoken positively of Briles after visiting Florida State, his dad's alma mater, in 2019.
Regardless of whatever motivated the Colorado quarterback, he shredded the TCU defense to the tune of 510 yards and four touchdowns.
