Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, is the talk of college football.
It’s hard to imagine someone’s stock being higher after two games than Sanders’.
According to Mike Sando of The Athletic, Prime’s college tenure could soon be coming to an end. That’s because he expects NFL teams to be lining up for him.
Just a few weeks ago, the idea of Deion Sanders roaming an NFL sideline while wearing a head coach hat seemed several years away at best (and far-fetched at worst).
However, the job he’s done with the Buffaloes (so far) has been nothing short of amazing. One thing that’s been most evident is the fact that everyone wants to play for him, and everyone loves the way he’s able to teach, motivate and inspire.
“Deion Sanders has more to prove after only two games at Colorado, but early indications point to intriguing possibilities on an NFL sideline. If a head coach is authentic, emotionally intelligent, smart, organized, and knows the game, succeeding at the highest level becomes possible, whether or not the delivery is conventional,” Sando wrote.

What has particularly impressed observers is Sanders’ authenticity, both on and off the field. During interviews and press conferences, he consistently delivers insightful and charismatic commentary, with football and mentorship at the forefront of his discussions.
His innovative use of the transfer portal, impressive recruiting power, and the ability to assemble a stacked coaching staff has also garnered praise from the football world.
It’s important to stress that the season is extremely young, and Colorado’s schedule will soon be getting much harder. There’s a chance that the wheels on the Buffaloes wagon completely fall off.
Having said that, Prime has proven that anyone who doubts him and his coaching ability does so at their own risk.
Do you think Sanders will ultimately end up in the NFL?
Next season is hard to believe – but maybe down the road, especially if the Dallas Cowboys job opens up?
Imagine that?
