  "account": "Deion Sanders, Colorado football coach, addressed concerns about pressure he faces in his fourth season with the Buffaloes during a news conference on Aug. 6. Sanders' three-year record stands at 16-21, with last year's team finishing 3-9. Sanders' new-look team this year boasts several new assistant coaches and a virtually new starting lineup on defense, thanks to extensive turnover in the transfer portal. The coach insisted he doesn't feel pressure, comparing it to a single mother trying to make ends meet without a man in the house. Sanders emphasized that this is football, and he's really good at it, stating, \"I can play this. I can coach this. I can do this.\" The coach also revealed he was looking for a specific \"mentality\" when recruiting new players, as he got rid of those who lacked it. Sanders acknowledged the \"revolving door\" in college football due to unlimited player transfers, noting that coaches are no longer judged by a four-year building plan.",
