DEC 3: DEION DECISION Deion Sanders has officially announced he will be the next head coach at Colorado.
Sanders went 27-5 over three seasons at Jackson St. and landed some of the nation’s top recruits.
The announcement came just moments after Sanders led Jackson State to its second straight SWAC title.
Jackson State defeated Southern 43-24 in the title game, capping the school’s first undefeated season.
“There were a number of highly qualified and impressive candidates interested in becoming the next head football coach at Colorado, but none of them had the pedigree, the knowledge, and the ability to connect with student-athletes like Deion Sanders,” Colorado athletic director Rick George said in the statement. “Not only will Coach Prime energize our fanbase, I’m confident that he will lead our program back to national prominence while leading a team of high quality and high character.”
Sanders, 55, played 14 seasons in the NFL, five of which he spent with the Cowboys. During his tenure in Dallas, he compiled 159 tackles, 14 interceptions, and two touchdowns. Sanders was a member of the Cowboys’ 1995 championship squad which defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 in Super Bowl XXX.
