Deion Sanders, the legendary former NFL player, is set to make his debut as the head coach of the University of Colorado Buffaloes in the upcoming 2023 season. The much-anticipated game will take place this Saturday as the Buffaloes go up against the TCU Horned Frogs.
Sanders recently discussed his new role and his excitement for coaching college football on “Coach Prime’s Playbook,” a show aired on CBS News Colorado. The former athlete expressed his determination to succeed in his new position and highlighted the strong focus the players have on their goals, regardless of being considered underdogs.
One player who has particularly impressed Sanders is his own son, Shedeur Sanders, who will take on the starting quarterback position this season. Sanders expressed pride in his son’s maturity and deep understanding of the game.
The TCU Horned Frogs, who had a successful run in the College Football Playoff last year, will be a formidable opponent. Despite this, Sanders mentioned his respect for TCU’s head coach, Sonny Dykes.
The game is scheduled to take place in Fort Worth, where high temperatures are expected. In light of this, Sanders has emphasized the importance of proper hydration for his team.
Sanders has also made headlines by bringing in NFL veterans and even Hall of Fame members to mentor the Buffaloes. This decision provides the players with invaluable advice and insights into success both on and off the field.
Outside of coaching, Sanders is an active retiree who enjoys bass fishing. Interestingly, he sees parallels between this sport and football, potentially offering a unique perspective to his coaching style.
Fans looking to follow the CU vs. TCU game can tune in to Romi Bean and CBS Sports Colorado for live coverage. Additionally, “Coach Prime’s Playbook” can be watched on CBS News Colorado on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., offering viewers an inside look into Sanders’ coaching journey.
