The Colorado Buffaloes football program has faced years of inconsistency, struggling to regain the dominance it once had in college football. With Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders at the helm, excitement and national attention have returned to Boulder. His bold recruiting style, use of the transfer portal, and culture-shifting leadership are reshaping the program. Still, questions remain: Can he build depth in the trenches, improve consistency against top competition, and turn hype into sustained success? The future of Colorado football depends on whether Coach Prime can not only inspire but also solve the structural challenges that have held the Buffaloes back.
