In San Antonio, it's all about Prime Time. The method may seem crazy, but the moment is just as wild. Deion Sanders was made for this era of college football, where parents want to hear about education, students want to hear about the pros, and agents want to hear about the money.
Takeo Spikes, a former NFL great and current analyst for Warner Discovery/TNT, recently pointed out that Coach Prime has a unique advantage over his competitors. Having worked with young athletes before, he understands their mindset and knows how to motivate them without breaking them down.
At the end of the day, it's the kids who have the power. Talent is what rules the game and with Sanders at the helm, the Buffs are in good hands. Even after losing their star player and quarterback to the NFL, there's still life after the Alamo Bowl. And with the roster still being constructed, CU has already secured multiple four-star recruits, putting them ahead of most Big 12 programs.
For example, Kaidon Salter, a four-star quarterback from Texas, and Julian Lewis, a four-star/five-star quarterback from Georgia, have both chosen to join the Buffs. And it's no surprise, because with Sanders leading the way, anything is possible.
It's clear that we were wrong to doubt Sanders and his unorthodox approach to college football. We used to believe that some things were simply impossible to achieve, that it was the programs that made the players. But we were wrong. It's the players who make the program and that's always been the case. The only difference now is that players have more control over their own destiny, thanks to the transfer portal.
While other coaches may resist this change, Sanders embraces it. He understands that in order to succeed, you have to adapt. And that's exactly what he's done, much to the dismay of coaches like James Franklin.
Champ Bailey, another former NFL great and TNT colleague of Spikes, believes that Sanders' success at CU is sustainable. He knows that it's all about changing the culture and demanding excellence. And whoever takes over after Sanders will have big shoes to fill, but with the talent pool in the Mountain West region, there's no reason why the Buffs can't continue to dominate.
It's clear that Sanders is the man for the job. With five NFL wide receivers, who's going to cover them? And the handful of teams that can, are all competing in the College Football Playoff. The Buffs, with two top-5 draft picks, are well on their way to joining that elite group.
Spikes believes that what sets Sanders apart is his ability to connect with today's athletes. Even when CU only won one game a couple of years ago, Sanders was able to see the bigger picture and turn things around. He understands the current-day kid and that's what makes him successful.
It's Prime Time in San Antonio. The mountain has come to Deion Sanders and he's the new king. And with his continued success, it's clear that the Buffs have found a leader who will take them to new heights.
