As speculation swirled around Deion Sanders’ potential departure from Colorado, Rick George kept everything in focus

On Sunday, Jan. 12, one day before the news broke that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones talked with Colorado coach Deion Sanders regarding the Cowboys’ then-open head coaching job, a Buffaloes supporter fired off an email with the title “Whatever it takes to KEEP Coach Prime!”

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders is moving on to the NFL, so the team will rely on a new quarterback. The projected starter under center in 2025 is redshirt senior Kaidon Salter, who transferred to Colorado from Liberty. Safety Shilo Sanders is considered a late-round draft prospect.

Deion Sanders is once again making waves in the college football world, with reports suggesting another major coaching hire is on the horizon. According to Darryl "Uncle" Neely of Thee Pregame Show, Coach Prime is expected to add another high-profile name to his Colorado staff.

It will be interesting to see if Sanders' NFL experiment continues to yield success. He seems to have learned from the failures of Arizona State's former head coach Herm Edwards, who brought in the likes of Antonio Pierce and Marvin Lewis to shore up his staff from 2018-22.

From the moment Deion Sanders sparked a winning culture in Colorado, many have wondered if his coaching career will take him to the NFL.
