Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh has offered his take on Deion Sanders following the latter’s bold entrance into Power 5 football.
Sanders’s Colorado Buffaloes were the shock of the college football world on the weekend after recording an unlikely win over the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday.
The win roped in some new fans for Coach Prime, with Harbaugh apparently one of them. The Michigan HC, who has been suspended for the first three games of the NCAA season, was on 97.1’s ‘Stoney and Jansen Show’, where he revealed his admiration for the former NFL cornerback.
He was also particularly fond of Prime’s halftime interview in which he implied Travis Hunter is set for Heisman glory and suggested that Deion could be the Coach of the Year at the end of his first season in charge of Colorado.
“I loved Prime’s halftime interview, too, ‘If we had hit him on two more passes, (the Heisman) would be chilling in his crib,'” Harbaugh said. “That’s awesome – 144 plays – and that was in Fort Worth, too.
“Maybe the ‘Coach of the Year’ award is chilling in Prime’s crib.”
That’s a serious endorsement coming from a man who has been named both NFL Coach of the Year and College Football Coach of the Year.

Sanders is now set to lead his student-athletes out against Nebraska on Saturday and will hope to go 2-0 following his big opening weekend result. Harbaugh, on the other hand, has two more games to sit out before he can return to coaching.
