Deion Sanders vows to turn around Colorado "if it's the last thing I do on earth"

Deion Sanders's third season coaching at Colorado concluded with a disappointing record of 3-9, including just one win in the Big 12 conference. Following a 24-14 loss to Kansas State, Sanders expressed determination to revitalize the program. Despite a promising 9-4 finish in 2022 that led to an Alamo Bowl appearance, the team has struggled to attract impactful players. With key players Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter departing after the 2024 season, Sanders faces challenges in rebuilding the roster. His contract extends through 2029, but 2026 may be a pivotal year for his tenure amid increasing willingness among programs to pay buyouts for coaching changes.
