It is officially “Prime Time” for the University of Colorado Boulder. Athletic director Rick George pulled off one of the most improbable hires in Colorado history, making Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders Colorado’s 28th head coach. This impressive hire marks a change in CU’s commitment to the football program.
Sanders, one of the best NFL football players of all time, was officially named CU’s new head coach on Saturday, Dec. 3. A Hall of Famer at both the collegiate and professional levels, Sanders finished his career with two Superbowl wins, a six-time All-Pro and was the 1994 defensive player of the year.
