Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders

Deion Sanders has done a magnificent job of turning things around for the Colorado Buffaloes in just two seasons on the job. After taking over a program that finished just 1-11 the year before his arrival, Coach Prime was able to lead the team to a 4-8 record in his first season at the helm.

The Buffaloes took a gigantic step forward in 2024 as they finished the regular season with a 9-3 record, including a 7-2 mark in their first season of Big 12 play since 2010.

It marked their best regular season finish and best conference record since 2016 for the team, which was also the last year the Buffaloes finished a full season with a winning record.

Sanders' success leading the program has led to changes and he recently showed off a team plane. 'Prime Time' shared the image to Instagram, captioning the post:

"I can’t wait until y’all see this plane! Wow God is good! WOW WOW WOW! Thank u to all that made this happen for our young men & woman. #CoachPrime"

The Buffaloes are set to face the BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 28. If they are able to end their season on a positive note, it will mark their best finish since 2001, when they finished 10-3.

Stephen A. Smith believes the Ohio State Buckeyes should target Deion Sanders

Deion Sanders has plenty of success leading the Colorado Buffaloes. Stephen A. Smith believes that the Pro and College Football Hall of Famer should be a target of the Ohio State Buckeyes, provided that they move on from coach Ryan Day.

Speaking on ESPN's "First Take," the sports media personality stated:

"I understand that $37 million is a lot of money when it comes to Ryan Day. If you can get your hands on Deion Sanders to bring him to the Ohio State, you pay the $37 million. They'll pay the driver $37 million to ride him out of town.
"I just had somebody text me and say that, OK? That's how much money they got in Columbus. That ain't a lot of money to overcome. You can come up with the money to do that."

While many predicted that Sanders would leave the Buffaloes following the season, he appears prepared to return to the program. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes were able to get off to an emphatic start in the College Football Playoff, which could help Day remain in his role for another season.
