Deion Sanders, the infamous Colorado football coach, thought Mount Rushmore was in California during a press conference on Tuesday.
It’s actually in Keystone, South Dakota, where Sanders apparently confuses America’s monument of four presidents with the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles.
“What are those little four heads in California, what do they call them, with people’s faces engraved in them?” Sanders joked before being corrected that Mount Rushmore is not on the West Coast.
‘Where is it? All this time I thought it was in LA,” Sanders continued. “Wow, my geography… thanks for enlightening me.”
Sanders originally tried to use the reference to describe how high his expectations are for his players, making a gesture of how high they are.
Deion Sanders’ first season with Colorado isn’t going according to plan as the regular season comes to a close
Sanders could make fun of himself for confusing basic American geography trivia
The Buffaloes season did not go to plan as they won their first three games and won once in their last eight tries.
Colorado closes the season on Saturday with a game against Utah.
The game will be Colorado’s final contest as members of the Pac-12 as it jumps back to the Big 12 for 2024.
Still in his first season in Boulder, Sanders will have more opportunities to rejuvenate the Buffaloes’ program.
Sanders may be a football expert, but American geography has not proven to be his strong suit.
