Deion Sanders faces scrutiny as Colorado prepares for new season

Summary

Deion Sanders enters the 2026 season as head coach of Colorado amid significant pressure following a 3-9 record last year. Mark Schlereth emphasized the need for Sanders to deliver results, stating, 'Get good or get gone,' reflecting the expectations surrounding the Buffaloes.
