Deion Sanders has been the coach of the Buffaloes since 2023. During those seasons, he had the services of his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, playing under him. However, Shedeur has since been drafted by the Cleveland Browns, while Shilo will play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after signing as an undrafted free agent.

He will also be without Heisman Trophy winner and dual-threat star Travis Hunter. Hunter was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars and will take his rare talents to the NFL. It remains to be seen if he'll continue to play on both sides of the ball.

Deion was able to lead Colorado from a 4-8 (1-8 Pac-12) record in his first season to 9-4 (7-2 Big 12) record last year, including a bowl game appearance. There were some speculation that Sanders could depart for the NFL, as several coaching vacancies opened up.

However, when those vacancies were filled, the Buffs decided to ink Coach Prime to a five-year $54 million contract extension in March.
