Deion Sanders Breaks Silence on His Future After Entering High-Risk Year at Colorado
Deion Sanders needs no introduction, as he remains one of the most talked-about faces not just in the NCAA but across the entire sports world. Whether it was the gridiron or the baseball diamond during his MLB days, Coach Prime made his mark on the sports world from the very beginning of his career.
When Sanders accepted the head coaching role at Colorado Buffaloes football, many believed a new era was about to begin in Boulder. Mr. Prime-Time’s second season did show signs of progress, but the following year turned into a major disappointment.
Colorado struggled throughout 2025, and critics quickly shifted the focus to Deion Sanders’ retirement talk rather than the team’s future strategy. Amid the criticism and uncertainty, the Buffaloes’ head coach recently addressed his future indirectly, offering comments that hinted at his mindset moving forward.
Deion said, “I never planned on Dying on Campus. I never planned on having a memorial there.”
“I planned on coming down and doing what I was gifted to do. And, I had no plans on leaving until the activity started,” Coach Prime added
After Colorado’s 3–9 disaster in 2025, almost everyone had started believing that it was time for Deion Sanders to say goodbye. When Athletic Director Rick George stepped down after the season, many also felt that if there was no visible improvement this year, the Colorado Buffaloes football could begin the search for a new head coach.
Based on Coach Prime’s recent remarks, it appears that Deion Sanders has no intention of stepping away from coaching anytime soon and remains committed to continuing his role on the sidelines.
What a Disappointing 2026 Season Could Mean for Deion Sanders at Colorado
Even if Deion Sanders has no plans to step away from coaching or say goodbye to the Colorado Buffaloes football, the bigger question is whether the program would continue with the same head coach after another disappointing season.
The 2025 season highlighted college football’s harsh standards, in which disappointing outcomes led to swift midseason firings. Some believe a similar situation could arise with Coach Prime if the team struggles again next season.
Colorado has never been a program where championship-level expectations were the norm. However, wherever “Prime Time” steps in, expectations naturally rise.
At the same time, the Buffaloes clearly understand Sanders’ value — not just in terms of wins and losses, but also his impact on visibility, recruiting, and the program’s overall relevance. Just as the veteran coach wants to remain on the sidelines, there is a strong possibility that Colorado may also choose stability, prioritizing his long-term influence over short-term results.
