In one of the now-famous clips, Swasey addressed the team with intensity, saying:
“If you ain’t angry, something’s wrong—I got a problem with you.”

For a team looking to rebuild its identity and climb back to prominence in college football, the message was clear: complacency has no place at Colorado.
Although Sanders did not give the speech personally, it embodies the core values he has instilled in the program. His larger-than-life personality and straightforward approach have created an environment of accountability throughout the organization.
One fundamental principle Sanders has established for his staff is empowering them to lead with authenticity and passion. Swasey’s words echoed Sanders’ own sentiments about what it takes to succeed—not just in football but in life.

The speech comes at a pivotal time for Colorado football. After a season filled with highs and lows, the Buffaloes are looking ahead to the 2025 campaign with renewed determination. Sanders has already made headlines with his dynamic recruiting strategy, bringing in elite talent to help revitalize the program.
Speeches like Swasey’s serve as a reminder that the culture isn’t just about wins and losses—it’s about developing a resilient mindset, taking pride in the program, and maintaining an unwavering commitment to growth.
