Deion Sanders has been a brand in the college football sphere for a while now. You may argue that he amassed a horrible stat last year for Colorado, he bounced it back with a banger this year, balancing it well, for your knowledge. There have been a lot of brickbats swirling over the lore about Sanders’ loud no-nonsense approach, salty equation with a few players, and sometimes the way he puts his sons ahead in the spotlight. But none of them really could disturb the commendable composure the Prime Time holds. He knows that his incredible experiment with the Buffs has worked and took them to the postseason bowl game, no matter what. This is quite the impact. That said, it would have been even higher if he had bucked the odds at the NFL. The veterans and analysts are already weighing in on the idea where Sanders’s past comment exudes some hope.

Colorado Buffs picked up a statement victory against Cincinnati in Folsom Field, Boulder. With Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter dropping their career-high performances to take the team to their third bowl eligibility, the entire trajectory changed. If you look at the humiliating 4-8 season last week, you will understand why the head coach has a heck of a hype. With the breakout efficiency being on the play, people started to visualize a rousing NFL future for the 57-year-old. But the crucial question is, will the veteran be up for it? Well, CFB analyst Mike Florio sees underneath the apparent negative responses of coach Prime last year. ‘‘Deion has said he definitely doesn’t want to coach in the NFL now,” said Florio on the Dan Patrick show.

But the NFL giants who have an eye for the Colorado Buffs head coach, don’t have a reason to be upset. The trend in history depicts a silver lining.  ”It wouldn’t be the first time somebody said something and did the exact opposite, but he said it last year when he got really hot at Colorado, the opportunity to coach his son in the NFL, might be something he doesn’t say no to if it would come along.” Florio, the veteran analyst, strategically bridged the gap. What Jim Harbaugh did last year might be a recurring reality for the Buffs with Sanders this year.

Amidst the constant NFL rumours, Florida State University (FSU) is reportedly looking for a new head coach after Mike Norvell’s rusty 1-8 season, and Deion Sanders seems to be the bullseye. However, contrary to their current interest, FSU let go of their chance of striking when the iron was hot. As a prized alumna, Sanders might reconsider his strained relationship with the Florida State regents, but the way Buffs are going all out to keep him in the house seems to be a restraint in that path.

Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins are also reportedly lurking to take the quintessential coach on their board, but it’s all about a deep-seated Colorado Buffs emotion for Sanders. Colorado Buffs has seen the best version of the coach Prime. Even if veteran analyst Chris Simms suggested Sanders is innately made for the NFL and kept him on the same page with the legendary coaches of the big leagues, Sanders seems to be firm in his Colorado Buffs endeavor and vice versa.

Colorado Buffs is treating Deion Sanders with small surprises

Coach Prime attracted comparisons with the eminent Bill Belichick, who, just like Sanders, thoroughly studies and chooses the plays that need to be called during the game. Some trademark trade of the class NFL coaches! But Sanders loves what he does in Colorado. His heart and soul effort and dedication towards his job visibly shine through his players’ elite moves. As head coach, Sanders revamped the roster with an unfathomable influx of 51 scholarship transfer players in 2023, keeping just nine returning scholarship players last year out of a roster limit of 85. He did a slew of trials afterwards. Finally, the current season started to pay off big time. So, It’s quite unsurprising why the Buffs are entertaining the Coach Prime ego and want to keep him in the haul for the longest.

The Buffs officials are living up to Sanders’ minute wishes. They have gifted a customized locker to Deion, just as he liked it. The best thing that turned out to be an absolute show-stopper? Deion’s signature quotes like “YOU LOOK GOOD YOU FEEL GOOD YOU FEEL GOOD YOU PLAY GOOD YOU PLAY GOOD THEY PAY GOOD” have seen engraved all over the wall, giving another flair to the look.

A thought-provoking gesture to keep the Prime factor alive in Boulder? Well, it might or might not be, but the Colorado-Deion Sanders relationship is surely on the tear.
