Sanders has put Colorado back on the football map, the team has improved its win loss record both years he's been head coach. Dallas picked somebody else for its job, Shedeur and Travis Hunter are gone. Is Colorado going to keep its upward trajectory, or backslide?

 

Unlike the last two seasons when Colorado had high-profile opponents such as Oregon, USC and Nebraska (twice), the Buffs’ non-conference slate is Georgia Tech, Delaware and Wyoming before the Big 12 league schedule. The Fox Big Noon Kickoff crew will likely not be making regular trips out to Boulder anymore. This season will test how much spotlight Coach Prime still commands.

I think it will be interesting to see how he does without his son at QB.  He has adapted the mercenary route to win.  I'm not sure how that works out long term.  

 

One thing I can say is he did way better than I expected.  I didn't believe he completely cared about his players enough to motivate them to rise above their "pay grade".  That they were in contention for a conference title this year impressed me.  

 

Now we will see if he is a coach or talent acquirer.  If he matches that record this year (2024's), I'll certainly be impressed.
