Colorado Buffaloes discuss what Coach Deion Sanders has learned as a coach
Jul 18, 2026
How you doing?
Amen, how you doing?
Doing good.
First, thank you for everything.
That's the first thing I have to say.
Secondly, since you started coaching,
the landscape of college football has just changed so much.
You're always adapting, always trying to get ahead of the scheme.
But how has it changed you as a person?
What kind of lessons have you learned, not only as a coach,
but as a person getting to learn patience or adapt and all the
adversity that you've been through as well?
That's a great question.
As a coach, patience has taught me tremendous patience.
It taught me that a lot of young men want to benefit from the game financially.
A lot of young men want to benefit from the game because they love the game.
You got to really understand there are two sides of this coin.
Make sure you're flipping these kids on the right side because it's a whole different game.
Sometimes you can't get stuck in the old ways.
You got to go forward and welcome and invite some of the new school ways and adapt to them.
Thank God I got kids.
I got five of them that keep me on my toes, keep me on my game,
and keep me hip to what's coming and what's going on right now.
I'm thankful for that.
I got a little grandson.
He can't really talk right now, but he could ask.
I'm thankful that they're keeping me on point.
That's tremendous.
Thank you.
Great question.
