Overview
- Sanders told Good Morning America that his bladder cancer is in remission, that he feels healthy and that he is ready to coach the 2026 season.
- Well Off Media vlog footage shows Deion Sanders Jr. warning bluntly that Colorado must win or “I’mma be out of a job,” a remark that highlighted internal pressure on the program.
- Colorado has pursued a heavy rebuild this offseason, adding about 43 transfer‑portal players while the staff reported hosting 10 visitors and securing five commitments from Florida.
- The staff has installed new coordinators for 2026, with offensive coordinator Brennan Marion planning to feature former five‑star Julian Lewis in a faster 'go‑go' scheme to spark a turnaround.
- The university’s reported five‑year, $54 million extension for Sanders and the team’s early national profile have made this season a test of whether the so‑called 'Prime Effect' can be sustained after a 9-4 2024 peak and a 3-9 2025 fall.
