One of Deion Sanders’ opposing coaches says his Colorado Buffaloes are in for a rude awakening for this upcoming 2023 season.
Deion Sanders took the Colorado head coaching job in December, which garnered both tons of praise and criticism. A Pac-12 head coach says the school is in a “lose-lose” situation with him at the helm.
“It feels like a lose-lose for Colorado with Prime. Either he’s going to be really good really fast and leave for another gig, which, looking at that roster, doesn’t seem possible,” the coach said anonymously via Athlon Sports. “The alternative is that they’re going to be bad, and they’ll end up firing him in a big circus.”
“Jackson State was so good because they could get FBS-level guys and beat on FCS rosters. That won’t happen here. They’re not a good roster right now. How does he handle losing big? We haven’t seen that.”
Deion Sanders Jr., one of the team’s wide receivers, got wind of the comments and fired back at that coach on Twitter.
“They pray that we don’t do well because they fear us (and I’m not even talking about fear us on the field). It’s a threat to the social norms and the infrastructure of college football.”
Since Sanders took over as head coach of the Buffaloes, Coach Prime has overseen a massive roster overhaul as he attempts to build a winner in Boulder, Colorado.

Despite some questioning his methods, Sanders does have Colorado back in the spotlight as he approaches his first season at the FBS level.
Sanders went 27-6 at Jackson State, including a combined 23-3 the last two seasons.
The Buffaloes will open the 2023 college football season against TCU on FOX as part of the network’s “Big Noon Saturday” telecast. All eyes will be on this game.
