Deion Sanders completely changed the culture and roster for the CU Buffs. He made Boulder a destination spot. Now, in his second season, the Buffs need Coach Prime to become an Elite Coach.
Colorado football coach Deion Sanders speaks with the media on campus about his second season as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder, Colorado on March 20, 2024. Photo by RJ Sangosti/The Denver Post)Last year, he asked if we believed. In the hype? Yes. In the team? Nope.
This offseason did not require an HGTV roster makeover. These are his guys. This season is not about forever altering the college football landscape. It is about getting better.“I am very harsh on myself, much more harsh than you guys are,” he said. In his second season, however, Sanders is just like every other coach in this way: he needs to win. The Buffs enter the Big 12 with a sense of urgency. This represents Coach Prime’s last dance with sons Shedeur and Shilo and All-American Travis Hunter, a two-way unicorn. All three are potential first-round draft picks, and Shedeur could go No. 1 overall.Truthfully, I don’t. I know the Buffs will post more than four victories. But, the standard is different this season.
Last season featured prominent clock management issues vs. Oregon State and Arizona. And philosophical fissures with his coordinators Sean Lewis and Charles Kelly. After running on nitromethane, CU’s offense began coughing up fumes midseason. This season is not about adding pieces, but about making them fit. This type of staff experience should benefit Coach Prime. He acknowledged as much when returning to my question about his in-game performance last season.Sports Columnists |“Going back to what you asked me about coaching, that’s another thing I learned.
