Analyst offers extreme ends of spectrum for Colorado’s 2023 season
The 2023 Colorado football season, known affectionately by the college football world as the premiere of “Prime Time” in the Power Five, could go in any number of directions — and AthlonSports’ Kevin Borba offered the two most extreme ends of it.
“(Coach Prime) just oozes entertainment value, and people are going to want to tune in to either support him or root against him,” Borba prefaced before saying, “He makes his Colorado and Power 5 head coaching debut against a TCU team that made the title game a year ago, and he has expressed nothing but confidence in himself and the team. This could be the beginning of a golden era for Colorado, or a moment we look back in time after what some people believe will be a failed experiment.”
Deion Sanders has shown his hand from a personality standpoint, but after assembling an accomplished coaching staff with several stars elsewhere, most notably former Nick Saban righthand man Charles Kelly, there’s a brand of football coming in Boulder that should catch much of the college football world by surprise. The alternative? A failed experiment, as Borba suggests, where a Florida product who starred in Atlanta during his NFL and MLB careers comes to Colorado and fits like, well, a poor-fitting glove.
Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders speaks out on behalf of Florida high school football coaches
Coach Prime took to Twitter to call out the state of Florida for underpaying high school coaches that help the Sunshine State produce the second-highest number of blue-chip recruits behind the state of Texas.
The State of Florida should have the Highest Paid High school football coaches in the country because of the development of the number players they feed Colleges throughout the country. It's a shame but God bless these coaches because they love the kids regardless.…

“The State of Florida should have the Highest Paid High school football coaches in the country because of the development of the number of players they feed colleges throughout the country,” Sanders tweeted. “It’s a shame but God bless these coaches because they love the kids regardless.”
Is it worrisome Sanders hasn’t begun to speak about Colorado coaches? Well, no, if the recruits from Florida choose the Buffs in the future.
