Colorado Football’s New Era: Deion Sanders Overhauls Coaching Staff & Sets a Culture of Accountability | Locked On Buffs The Colorado Buffaloes are entering a pivotal offseason as Kevin Borba dives deep into Deion Sanders’ sweeping coaching overhaul and the impact on Colorado’s future. With Coach Prime making 10 staff changes—replacing friends with top college minds—Colorado’s football program is embracing innovation and intensity. Kevin Borba highlights offensive mastermind Brennan Marion, architect of the Go-Go offense, and new hires from the XFL, high school legend Josh Niblett, and proven Power 5 recruiters. The conversation spotlights key departures, promotions, and the influx of ambitious talent aimed at transforming recruiting, player development, and on-field results. Marion’s rushing success brings hope for a revitalized ground game, while moves on the defensive staff aim to shore up the secondary and linebacker play. Culture is front and center: Kevin Borba breaks down Deion Sanders’ new player fines system, tackling the debate over treating student-athletes like professionals. The message is clear—Colorado players must act like pros both on and off the field. Accountability, consequences, and respect headline the revamped standards as Prime prepares his roster for the Big 12 gauntlet. The discussion then turns to the high-profile saga of Jordan Seaton, whose departure for LSU leaves a mark after he was poised to anchor Colorado’s offensive line. Kevin Borba dissects Seaton’s exit, family involvement, NIL realities, and Colorado’s contingency plans with a fresh crop of offensive tackles and four-star recruits. Will Deion Sanders’ bold staff shake-up and cultural reset bring discipline, development, and a winning edge to Boulder? Kevin Borba sets the stage for a new era, challenging Colorado’s players to rise above the noise and thrive in a program built on accountability, energy, and relentless recruiting. Can the Buffs capitalize on these changes to become a contender in the Big 12 and turn adversity into a breakthrough season? Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

After Indiana’s fairytale undefeated season, Kevin Borba and Philip Dukes debate whether Colorado can replicate that non-blue blood magic in Boulder. The duo takes a microscope to Coach Prime’s evolving roster-building philosophy, focusing on high-character, hungry players harvested from the transfer portal and FCS ranks. Discussion centers on the importance of identity and chemistry—Colorado’s need to forge leadership and continuity while blending productive G5 standouts with blue-chip talents. Philip Dukes breaks down “assembly-line” changes in Colorado’s evaluation process, Coach Prime’s hands-on approach to film, and the decisive impact of quality control in recruiting for cultural fit. The Big 12’s trenches come into view as Kevin Borba and Philip Dukes outline Colorado's path to December football: can the Buffs get mean enough up front to become real contenders? The episode also dives into Colorado’s safety overhaul as Jay Smith joins to scout Oklahoma transfer Jaden Hardy. Despite modest stats, Hardy’s pedigree, experience in critical SEC playoff moments, and ball skills position him as a high-upside candidate for starting reps in Colorado’s retooled secondary. Will a more cohesive process—and Coach Prime’s relentless drive—help Colorado reach those playoff dreams and spark a new blueprint for college football underdogs?
