Part 5/7:
As rumors emerge about Sanders potentially leaving Colorado, the conversation shifts to what his departure could mean. Many have speculated on the reasons behind Sanders' commitment to Colorado since he initially took the job to support his sons, Shadour and Shiloh. Now that they have gained valuable experience, the need for him to remain in Boulder may diminish, especially given the less-than-stellar results in his first two seasons.
The prospect of Sanders exploring opportunities with larger power schools or even the NFL raises questions: Was the gamble worth it for Colorado? Critics argue that a last-place finish in the Pac-12 and a fourth-place finish in the Big 12, compounded by a humiliating bowl loss, may reflect insufficient progress during his tenure.
