BOULDER, Colo. – The cameras started flashing frantically before he even walked into his first press conference Sunday as the new head coach of the University of Colorado.
Then the room erupted in cheers.
“Coach Prime!”
“Woo!”
And there he was – Deion Sanders, grinning from ear to ear and describing his arrival on the scene here as a calling from God, with him cast in the role of savior of one of the worst college football teams of 2022.
“It is my job and my occupation and my business, and my dream, to bring you back to where you know you should belong,” Sanders told the crowd of CU boosters, alumni and leaders.
