For whatever reason, people don't want to give Deion Sanders the amount of credit he deserves for the job he has done at Colorado. Before Coach Prime arrived in Boulder, Colorado had just two winning seasons since 2005, one of which was the COVID-shortened 2020 season, which featured only six games. Prior to last season, Colorado hadn't won more than five games in a single season since 2016.
Most coaches would receive endless praise for the job Sanders has done. He took over a team in 2023 that had gone just 1-11 the season before. His first season finished at only 4-8, but even that was a massive improvement.
