Sanders hated playing for Bobby Ross, didn't think Ross was using him right and didn't think the team could win with Ross' coaching and scheme.

Another fun fact is that Bobby Ross is Frank Reich's mentor. Both coaches have had high profile, sudden retirements take place on teams they coached (Sanders & Luck)

Didn't Ross also want him playing the full training camp/preseason and he just up and retired instead when he couldve broken the rushing record that year? I vaguely remember some type of drama from the old Army coach...
