The Colorado football team is headed for its second losing record in three years under Deion Sanders, but Coach Prime isn't about to concede defeat in the big picture.
Addressing questions about his job security, Sanders said Tuesday, 'You've got the right man. I promise you, you do. And I'm going to prove that to you. Just give me an opportunity and a little more time, and I'm going to prove that to you.'
A 29-22 loss at West Virginia on Nov. 8 left the Buffaloes with a 3-7 record, 1-6 in Big 12 Conference play. Colorado, with two games remaining, no longer has a shot at a .500 campaign.
The Buffaloes went 4-8 in 2023 during Sanders' first year on the job, finishing last in the Big 12 at 1-8. Last year, they improved to 9-4 overall, 7-2 in the conference, behind Heisman Trophy-winning two-way player Travis Hunter and star quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of the head coach.
That led to Deion Sanders signing a five-year, $54 million extension early this year. However, with Hunter and Shedeur Sanders gone this fall to the NFL, the Buffaloes have regressed.
In addition, Deion Sanders has dealt with health problems in 2025, most notably cancer that led to the removal of his bladder.
Colorado athletic director Rick George will be leaving his post next spring, but he tweeted on Tuesday about Deion Sanders' job: 'The seat is not hot. We believe in what is ahead for this program.'
