"Can't Wait to watch this": CFB World sent into a frenzy as Coach Prime's season 3 date gets revealed

Amazon Prime Video’s documentary series "Coach Prime," which chronicles Deion Sanders’ journey as a coach, has captivated college football fans since its debut. The third season’s premiere date has been announced as Jan. 7.

The trailer teases behind-the-scenes footage of game days, intense practices and even Sanders bonding with players during fishing trips. It also highlights moments from the Buffs’ recent loss to the BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl.

The upcoming season will feature interviews with Sanders and his top players, emphasizing that this might be the final year Sanders coaches his two sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders.

Fans’ reactions to the announcement have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic.

“Can’t wait 2 Watch this 1!!” one fan exclaimed.

“Gotta remember that this is only season 2 for Coach Prime. Let’s be realistic and enjoy the journey! Patience is a virtue! Skooooooooooo,” another wrote.

“Don’t care what nobody says about Prime. God’s favor got him where he is today,” a loyal fan tweeted.

“I love it!!! I’m backing you 150% Coach Prime,” another fan added enthusiastically.

Of course, not all feedback was positive.

“They are all talented players, Deion’s boys and Heisman. They will be scrutinized from now on. Maybe not as good as advertised. My only disappointment was the individual celebrating they did while getting thumped,” one person posted.

Despite mixed reactions, the anticipation for the new season remains high.

“Look forward to seeing West Virginia playing Colorado next season!” a fan wrote.

Amazon first launched the series in 2022, documenting Sanders’ third year at Jackson State. The initial four episodes went beyond football, delving into profound topics like the water crisis, player injuries and team expectations.

The second season, released in 2023, followed Sanders’ move to Boulder, capturing his inaugural year with the Colorado Buffaloes. The six episodes provided a look at his transition and the team’s rebuilding phase.

The Buffaloes ended their 2024 season with a 9-4 record, marking their first bowl game appearance since 2020. While the year concluded with a 36-14 loss to BYU in the Valero Alamo Bowl, the team’s progress under Sanders.

One of the season’s highlights was the performance of two-way star Travis Hunter, who excelled as both a wide receiver and a cornerback. Hunter’s Heisman Trophy campaign brought significant attention to the Buffaloes, and his journey will be a central focus in the upcoming season of "Coach Prime."

The 2024 season also marked the final collegiate year for Sanders’ sons, Shedeur and Shilo, both of whom are expected to enter the 2025 NFL draft.
