The Colorado Buffaloes had a redemption season of sorts this year. Under the inspiring leadership of Deion Sanders, the team managed 4 wins in their recently concluded season, which was a marginal improvement over last year. However, there lies a certain negative aspect to the all good things taking place in Boulder.

While Coach Prime continues to draw praise for his coaching and the significant change he brought about in the Buffaloes, there’s a certain blemish that plagues the NCAA side. Colorado continues to lose out on important support staff and recruits during the off-season. Since finishing their regular season on November 25, as many as three staff personnel have left their roles. What’s more to follow, a complete makeover of the proceedings, or will Deion Sanders step in to justify the actions?

Reportedly, even assistant coach Nick Williams is looking to move on to a different team now. However, the concerns grow for Sanders and the ever-dwindling management. Williams might become the third support staff member to call it quits after the 2023 NCAA season. This demands a question- is everything alright within the Colroado’s camp? Why the sudden back-to-back walkouts?
