Deion Sanders has been at the University of Colorado, leading the school's football program, since the 2023 season.
Colorado showed promise in Year 1, ultimately finishing 4-8. The 2024 season was a big one, with Travis Hunter winning the Heisman Trophy and the team finishing at 9-4 on the year. However, things dropped back in 2025, with Colorado missing a bowl game and having a losing record.
