Deion Sanders shoots down Texas A&M speculation: "I'm here"
Deion Sanders wanted the world to know where he was currently at and cemented the fact that the place was Colorado. The Hall-of-Famer took questions about his future and speculation about the Texas A&M coaching rumors. He answered the only way Coach Prime could in an effective manner.
“I’m here,” Sanders said at Tuesday's press conference.
“I tell them my mother’s here. My sister’s here. My dog is here. My daughter’s here. Three of my sons are here,” Deion Sanders said. “My other daughter comes to darn near every home game. We’re here. I get mail here. Pay taxes here. I’m here.”
Sanders mentioning Gunner, his german sheppard, might be a first for a coach in CU history. It's great to hear that he has bought into fixing the program and loves being in Boulder. You can expect Prime to be mentioned or linked in several coaching openings this off-season. It's not uncommon for the rumors to fly with misinformation.
Sanders and the Buffaloes need to win out for a bowl bid in their final two contests. They’ve dropped six of seven heading into Washington State on Friday night. Regardless of how the season ends, the Buffs are starting to turn a corner with a program stocked with young talent. They've come a long way from the shadows of the one-win Buffs team from a year ago.
“We’re going through a patch right now that we’re learning how to (win) and as long as there is progress, I’m good," Sanders said. "In every week, I see progress. I’m ecstatic about that.”
