Colorado’s coaching future faces scrutiny as Deion Sanders defiantly declares he’s the right man for Boulder’s top job, but roster challenges mount and fan patience wears thin. While national attention and school revenue soar under Sanders, Kevin Borba breaks down why “Coach Prime” remains the Buffs’ best bet—despite skepticism over recruiting, staff experience, and a looming transfer portal overhaul. On Locked On Buffs, Kevin Borba unpacks the seismic impact Sanders has had, from nine-win seasons and sold-out crowds to record-breaking NIL profits and legendary recruits like Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders. 

Yet, as Colorado’s high school recruiting stalls and half the roster prepares to depart, Kevin Borba spotlights glaring needs in the trenches, secondary, and linebacker corps. With the portal set for a frenzied offseason and staff changes certain, what must Sanders do to stabilize the Buffaloes—and is his unconventional approach sustainable in today’s college football arms race? Plus, Kevin Borba previews the biggest transfer targets, evaluates critical personnel gaps, and challenges fans to weigh in on Coach Prime’s long-term fit. Will roster turnover derail Colorado’s momentum, or does Sanders’s appeal and knack for attracting stars guarantee a turnaround? Get candid analysis and a full breakdown of what’s next for the Buffs.
