Despite controversial video, Jancek maintains respect of players By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

Not every sports rumor is true, even if Twitter would have you believe so. Video footage of Colorado State football’s sideline during its third consecutive Border War loss to the University of Wyoming surfaced on Twitter

via an upset fan in the aftermath of the game. The footage displayed redshirt senior linebacker Tre Thomas and first-year Defensive Coordinator John Jancek engaging in a heated debate. Junior safety Jamal Hicks also appeared to be holding Thomas back from making potential physical contact with Jancek.

The stage of the game from which this video was recorded is unknown. However, given that the Cowboys only led 3-0 at halftime and did not pull away until the third quarter, it can be assumed that the recording took place at some point during the second half. That is when tempers began to flare for both CSU players,

coaches and fans alike. The video brought the concerns of many fans to attention. The Rams are 3-6 and have struggled defensively this season. So, the question then arose of whether or not CSU’s defensive coordinator has lost the locker room. In other words, has Jancek lost control and the respect of his defense?

Thomas emphasized that Jancek has maintained “complete control of the defense,” despite how the season has played out for the Rams. The linebacker also stressed that the video was taken completely out of context and interpreted inaccurately.
