Deion Sanders talks Colorado football at Big 12 media days

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders took the stage on the second day of Big 12 Media Days, and in Coach Prime fashion, he made his presence known.

He answered questions from media outlets from all over the Big 12 and delivered strong statements about his team, the conference’s future, and college football.

Here’s what Coach Prime had to say during his press conference and the coaches roundtable panel at Big 12 media days.

Opening statement

“Brett Yormark, I love you, man, I appreciate ya. I think we have the best commissioner, I don’t think, I know we have the best commissioner in college football… I love you to life, brother and I know you somewhere clean as the board of health right now.”

“Coaches of the Big 12 are incredible. I love them. They’ve been calling, checking in on me, making sure I’m straight. But you talk about knowing football, teaching football, communicating with their kids.None of this…animosity, jealously. I love the coaches of the Big 12. I want to beat them all, but I love them. I truly do.”

On instilling strength in the program through health issues

“First of all, I trust God with all my mind, all my soul and everything I have. I never waver. I never say why me, regardless of what’s ahead of me or what I see. Like, lord just use me. If you can use anything, you could use me. So, I’m truly thankful. I’m truly a go-getter. I want to win at all costs. I want to win the right way. I want to set the right standards, and when I prepare the young men for life, not just football, I want them to be professional.”

Challenges of health issues

“Athletic, sometimes y’all be on that bull junk. So, I’m not going to tell you much. You know that. But I’m not here to talk about my health. I’m here to talk about my team,” Coach Prime said. “Average day? I’m looking good. I’m living lovely.”
