BREAKING: Football Legend ‘Prime Time’ Deion Sanders Accepts Coaching Job At Major Division I School
Deion Sanders, known as “Prime Time” for his legendary football career, accepted an offer from the University of Colorado Saturday night to become the school’s next head football coach.
Sanders accepted the offer after the team that he currently coaches, Jackson State University, won the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship title game Saturday afternoon against Southern, 43-24.
“There were a number of highly qualified and impressive candidates interested in becoming the next head football coach at Colorado, but none of them had the pedigree, the knowledge and the ability to connect with student-athletes like Deion Sanders,” said Rick George, Athletic Director at the University of Colorado. “Not only will Coach Prime energize our fanbase, I’m confident that he will lead our program back to national prominence while leading a team of high quality and high character.”
Colorado hired Sanders after the team fired former Head Coach Karl Dorrell during the middle of the season after the team was barely competitive on the field.
AD Rick George has named COACH PRIME @DeionSanders to be the 28th full-time head football coach at CU.
Welcome Coach Prime to Colorado!
