The 56-year-old coach has been a fan favorite throughout the entirety of the 2023 season.

Deion is finally getting the recognition he deserves for his time with the Colorado Buffaloes. Before this, he was the HC for the Jacksonville Jaguars before transferring this year. While he is known to be a man who can be positive in the toughest of situations, he lost his temper when the Jacksonville players were all glued to their phones following a win. His mentality behind the meltdown was that the players should rather be in the moment and congratulate each other than post and check out photos on their phones.
