Deion Sanders, coach for the Colorado Buffaloes, receives support from a legendary former coach. The 55-year-old head coach has been under fire after this past Sunday’s game. The Colorado Buffaloes suffered a tremendous defeat at the hands of the Oregon Ducks with an upsetting score of 42-6.
While the team faces harsh criticism right now, they are sure to bounce back under the guidance of Coach Prime. The 2-time Super Bowl winner has been taking it all on the chin and said, “Candidly, you better get me right now. This is the worst we’re going to be.”?No doubt the Buffaloes will have to make a redeeming comeback soon, but right now, the fans aren’t happy with the team.

He talked about how he can’t even remember the name of the Oregon coach and how his remarks about Sanders were nothing but a desperate try at garnering “clicks”?or publicity. Furthermore, he mentioned how regardless of the outcome of the game, people will still remember Coach Prime.
I literally can’t remember the name of the Oregon football coach anymore. Back to generally anonymity. Maybe he needs more clicks?
But everyone still remembers Coach Prime and the impact he’s having on his program and college football.

Coach Prime signed a 5-year contract worth $29.5 million with the Colorado Buffaloes. But ever since his arrival, a total revenue of $90 million has been generated in terms of ticket sales, merchandise, etc. Thus, these numbers make it seem like Sanders’ contract was a bargain in the grand scheme of things. The influence that he’s had on the league is profound and his fans continue to cherish him.
Apart from the big numbers, he was also able to bring in newfound fame and hype for the Colorado Buffaloes ever since his arrival. His fans are devoted to him because of the challenges in life he’s overcome and how today he’s able to impart his wisdom to the masses. Therefore, there’s no doubt about the fact that he’s an inspiration in the field of the NFL, but he still has a long way to go as a head coach.
