Mariucci’s bond with Coach Prime
The former NFL head coach had coached Deion Sanders at the Under-Armour All-American game for several years. Later, he partnered with him at the NFL Network. Mariucci admires Coach Prime for his strong coaching skills and has recently delivered a stern warning to Buffaloes, saying, “Some people are on your side, saying this is really exciting, some people are just kind of rooting against you because it’s like not supposed to happen this fast.”
“The whole world’s watching you. I’m just telling right now. People don’t know what’s going on there that it’s happening so fast. You guys are being watched, so do everything that this man [Deion] asked you to do because he’s asking to do the right things,” remarked Steve Mariucci.
