When he was still with the Colorado Buffaloes, new Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Ryan Staub did not get much playing time. Now that he has left Boulder, he has not been silent and even took a subtle shot at his former coach, Deion Sanders, worth $60 million.
As he was presented to the media as the latest addition to the Vols program, Ryan Staub noted that he is being coached there a lot more than he has ever had over at Colorado. This is taken as a shot to Sanders who he subtlety accuses of not coaching him as much as the coaches over at Tennessee.
“In my three years of college football, I haven’t had as much coaching as the month that I’ve been here,” said Staub.
Sanders had been dealing with plenty of health problems, particularly cancer, in the leadup to last season and before, and this forced him to not be as available in recruiting. This then led to the Buffaloes lagging in player development, with the transfer portal taking priority over developing future stars.
For next season, Sanders had to dip into the transfer portal a lot more than relying on high school recruits. He also had a massive staff overhaul as coaches were replaced left and right, particularly on defense.
Ryan Staub was not the biggest name to have left Colorado during the transfer portal period, but his indictment of what was going on at Boulder left many questioning Sanders’ ability to lead the Buffs after his surgery to take out his cancerous tumor.

Despite saying that, Ryan Staub clarified that he still loves Colorado and says it is a “great place” and that he has a lot of memories there. However, he could not help but compare it to Tennessee.
“Colorado’s obviously a great place. I have amazing memories there,” he said. “But the way that things are run here, it’s just – it seems like it’s a next level up. I mean, everything here is just so buttoned up. It’s organized. It’s awesome. Obviously no shade on Colorado – I love that place – but everything here is just even that much more professional, it feels like.”
Staub was considered a three-star transfer and the No. 110 QB from this year’s transfer portal. However, his indictment of the program at Colorado may have shown he could have been better.
