Coach Prime's recent statement about his new contract extension with the University of Colorado reflects not only his passion for this team but also his deep commitment to the university and its future.

Coach Prime, has made it clear: he’s here to stay, and the work is just beginning. His words resonate with a strong sense of purpose, as he said, “I’m committed to bringing greatness to this university, on and off the field. We’ve got work to do, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but here, making history with these incredible players and this passionate fan base.”

For those of us who proudly call ourselves CU alumni, this sentiment is incredibly exciting. Coach Prime's excitement to continue building something special at Colorado not only underscores his belief in the potential of the university but also highlights the trust and opportunity given to him by Athletic Director Rick George. It's clear that George's decision to bring Sanders to Boulder was not just about bringing in a football coach, but about providing a leader who could uplift the entire university community.

As a CU alum, seeing Coach Prime's dedication makes me proud to be part of the Buffalo family. His enthusiasm is contagious, and the positive energy surrounding the team and the fans is palpable. It’s not just about what’s happening on the field; it’s about creating a culture that supports personal growth, academic achievement, and winning.

And for those wondering about Coach Prime’s plans for settling into Boulder, his final question in the interview is as memorable as the rest: “Lastly, anybody got at least a five-bedroom home with acreage for sale?” It’s a humorous reminder that Coach Prime is fully embracing the Boulder lifestyle and ready to make his mark here for the long haul.
