Deion Sanders has dominated news headlines over the last few weeks. The Colorado Buffaloes HC and NFL Hall of Famer has dealt with his foot issues for decades. Just last year, Coach Prime underwent a major surgery for his foot which saw him run the risk of losing a limb, and even his life in the process. 

Fortunately, the repercussions would be much less, as Sanders would get away with his limb, life and eight toes intact. But recent developments have brought upon a harsh reality check for Sanders after reports of his ailing foot injury flaring up once again. Ahead of one of the most challenging years as an NFL coach, Sanders received a heartfelt message from his longtime partner.

The coaching challenge ahead for Coach Prime

While our thoughts and prayers remain on the success of Sanders’ medical battle, and his recovery, it is also important to note that the coach is also slated to enter his first season as the HC of the Colorado Buffaloes. Following their abysmal 1-11 season last year, the Buffaloes hired Sanders to redeem their crumbling college football program for a major price tag of over $29 Million.

As the team also announced their massive decision to part ways with the Pac 12 ahead of next season, Coach Prime and the Buffaloes have a major task at hand as they enter a shifting CFB landscape. The season is bound to be a major challenge with high expectations from Sanders. But as he works towards his recovery and regaining full health, we can’t help but give our two cents on what could be, the most important coaching season for Deion Sanders.
