Deion Sanders is under scrutiny as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes ahead of the 2026 season. After a disappointing 3-9 record last year, concerns grow regarding his roster overhaul, with key players leaving the program and being replaced by less heralded talent. The Buffaloes self-reported a $27 million deficit, complicating their ability to attract top recruits. Many view Sanders’ position as precarious, having landed on Yahoo Sports' list of coaches under pressure. Winning nine games this season is crucial for the Buffaloes to secure a more stable future under Sanders.
