After Complicated Health Procedures, Coach Prime Sniffs Glory as Magic Johnson Goes Gaga Over Colorado’s Favorite

With the Colorado Buffaloes’ win, Coach Prime has clapped back at all his doubters. At Amon G. Carter Stadium, his team led a 45-42 win against the No.16 Texas Christian University. From being called the worst team last year to showcasing a spectacular win, Sanders’ efforts were lauded by several sports icons. Notably, Coach Prime recently undertook some surgeries. While he seems to be back in fighting form, Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson is over the moon to see Sanders succeed.

The 5-time champion penned down a congratulatory message for Sanders on his first victory as Colorado coach. He shared the message on his Twitter/X account.

Johnson often makes good use of his Twitter. With the help of his social handle, he ensures that his words of support and encouragement can reach the right place. He has done it again. Appreciating the NFL legend’s determination to do the extraordinary, Magic took to his Twitter to share a message. His message read,

“Congratulations to Deion Sanders aka Coach Prime on his first victory at Colorado! His son QB Shedeur Sanders showed out breaking the school record for over 500 passing yards!  The great ones always win!” 

From Skip Bayless to Paul George, several other NBA stars expressed their heartiest wishes to the coach.

After an upsetting last season, the Colorado Buffaloes are back in action. Thanks to the significant measures taken by Sanders, the team’s game has indeed elevated. It is quite evident in their first game this season.

Sanders’ past struggles with his health issues

During his coaching tenure at Jackson State, the former NFL legend suffered from serious health issues.

Back in May, he underwent emergency surgery. In the year 2021, he had to undergo surgeries for his left foot and had two toes amputated from it. In spite of all the struggles, Sanders is an inspiration for young minds.

The Buffaloes had one of the worst records in college football over recent years. As such, fans did not have high expectations from Sanders’ team. However, by disproving all the haters, Coach Prime is quickly becoming Colorado’s favorite.

Just as Shaquille O’Neal often does, a quick stroll through Sander’s IG can find a treasure trove of wisdom and inspiration. Again, it was the Coach’s decision to make drastic changes in the problematic roster that propelled them to the win.
