It appears that it’s "Prime Time" in Boulder, Colorado. 

Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders is preparing to become the next head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, according to ESPN.

"They're not doing a great job of hiding this," said a staff source, according to ESPN. "If he backs out of this deal, it would be a huge problem for Colorado."

Sanders is getting his team ready for the SWAC championship game on Saturday against Southern as he attempts to get his Tigers to 12-0. He is expected to inform his team, shortly after the game, that he’ll be taking the Colorado job.

Earlier in the week, Sanders confirmed a WHD Sports report stating that he had been offered the head coaching position at Colorado. 

"The report is true," Sanders said Monday, according to HBCU Legends.

The Colorado program has fallen on hard times, and it fired head coach Karl Dorrell after an 0-5 start to the season. The Buffs ended their 2022 campaign 1-8 in the Pac-12 and were blown out by Utah in their final game, 63-21.

Sanders’ hiring would immediately make the Buffs a relevant program again.  

Sanders has revitalized the Jackson State program, leading the Tigers to a record of 26-5 in his three seasons as head coach of the FCS program.
