Deion Sanders 'Won't Settle for Mediocrity' at Colorado: 'We Plan on Winning'

A proven winner everywhere he's been, Deion Sanders expects nothing different as he takes over as the head coach at the University of Colorado.

Despite the Buffaloes going 1-11 last season, Sanders has a new-and-improved set of expectations.

"It's a whole different level of expectation around here, and you got to be able to play the game," Sanders told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg. "So a certain level that might have been welcome, that level is no longer welcomed here. It's a whole different game now."

Sanders is no stranger to turning programs around. He helped to totally transform Jackson State's football program into a perennial contender in the SWAC after years of losing seasons.
