Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders is not on the mend, relieving him of much more stress heading into the 2026 season.
Professional Soccer Corridor of Famer Sanders was recognized with bladder most cancers earlier than the 2025 season and underwent surgery to take away the tumor. Since then, he has undergone two extra surgical procedures to deal with ongoing blood clots.

Deion Sanders discusses well being
“I am wholesome,” Sanders stated. “I acquired my well being again. I acquired my swagger again.”
We doubt he misplaced a lot of it. Even when he is sick, few have extra aptitude than “Coach Prime.” However is it sufficient to avoid wasting his program from cratering once more in 2026?
After a 9-4 2024 season, the Buffaloes backslid in 2025. Colorado went 3-9 (1-8 within the Large 12), ending second to final within the convention, forward of the Oklahoma State Cowboys (1-11, 0-9 in Large 12). Sanders’ son, Deion Jr., fears he could have to replace his LinkedIn if the Buffs endure one other dropping season.
“I recognize you, man, as a result of we gotta win,” Deion Sanders Jr., a content material creator, instructed Colorado director of participant personnel Darrius Darden-Field during a recent vlog. “Or I will be out of a job.”
Deion Sanders is assured the staff will do extra “profitable” now that he is not battling a number of well being points.
“I am good. Nice medical doctors in Colorado have introduced me via. God has introduced me via. I am grateful. I am wholesome. I acquired my swagger again,” he stated. “Like, I am able to go, able to go coach my butt off this season.”
The specialists aren’t satisfied a rejuvenated Deion Sanders can be sufficient to spark a turnaround for the Buffaloes. CBS Sports’ Shehan Jeyarajah predicted Colorado would end second to final within the convention once more in his post-spring energy rankings.
It is good for Deion Sanders that he is wholesome and stays daring. That stated, his presence is not sufficient to construct a nationwide title contender. It takes expertise and sources; Colorado clearly lacks these.
