Deion Sanders doubles down on future at Colorado: “I’m not going anywhere”
Many people keep wondering if Deion Sanders will make a jump to the NFL after his sons leave Colorado next year. The topic has been brought up numerous times since the end of last season, but the answer hasn’t changed over time. The Colorado Buffaloes coach is content being in Boulder and wants to be there for the long haul.
It’s been no secret and Sanders wants people to take him for his word. The Hall-of-Famer went on the record about his future with All The Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. He didn’t adjust anything and reiterated his love being at the base of the Flatirons (16:00 mark).
“My kids, man, they’ve been there every bit of the way, Sanders said. “And most people ask me, “what are you going to do when they’re out ? You know y’all going to Pros together?” I said you know what, a real father leads his sons, right? He doesn’t follow them. So, I’m good. I’ll be him. I ain’t going nowhere. I’m straight. I love Boulder, Colorado. And I cannot wait until they go into the NFL and do their thing. But I’m not following my kids anywhere. I lead my kids places.”
Sanders was asked about his vision in the foreseeable future with a five-to-ten year window. Again, nothing changes with a summed up response. “The kids will be in the pros and I’ll be here. You see those mountains behind us? You’ll see my head up there,” Sanders said.
Deion Sanders’ sons buy him a new home in Colorado
It seems more or less that Coach Prime wants to follow in the footsteps of his late mentor Bobby Bowden. Establish roots with a program and stay there to impact the lives and future careers of his players. It was a quality that made the former FSU legend successful. He was still involved in an unofficial capacity with the Seminoles program up until his final months.
Sanders has said one of his dreams was to be the first black head coach to win a national championship. If you build it, that might come.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Jaw-dropping video shows the moment a driver crashed into a parked car in a Colorado Springs neighborhood.
The collision happened Monday morning at Flintridge and Anitra Circle on the northeast side of the city.
The witness, whose home camera caught the dramatic crash, tells 11 News the car was sitting in front of her house when the driver came barreling up the road. Both cars flipped over on impact, and the driver had to be cut out of the vehicle. They were transported to the hospital with minor injuries. No one was in the parked car.
11 News is still trying to confirm details with police, but the homeowners says officers told her that there was no indication the driver ever hit the brakes when coming up on the car — and may have been going nearly 40 mph over the posted speed limit of 25.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — The Colorado Springs Fire Department says it is critical for residents of Colorado Springs to know if they live in the Wild Land Urban Interface, and the fire dangers there. It’s different parts of town that have a higher risk of fire because of their proximity
to certain types of vegetation. You can check out the map to see where you lie.
Monday, 5/6/24 we saw a fire started on the southwest side of Colorado Springs- that was in fact inside the Wild Land Urban Interface. The fire department says the fire was caused by a downed power line due to the high winds. Steve Oswald, the Battalion Chief at CSFD says down power lines come with a lot of danger, including fires… “some of the dangers you need to be aware of besides just the wind, is it’s taking out a lot of power, we still have a lot of poles that are in precarious spots that could still break in the wind… You need to be aware of any above-ground power lines”
Earlier this spring, Governor Jared Polis and the state forest service announced 31 wildfire mitigation grants across the state. The grants assist communities and groups in reducing wildfire risk in their areas. Almost all of Colorado is under some type of threat, including El Paso County. The worst is to the west, and up into Teller County, which is almost completely high-intensity.
Oswald tells me the temperatures is also a factor to fire danger “As we move into the summertime, as we have been growing more and more fuels, grasses are starting to grow, anytime we get into wind events like this and we get arcing or sparking, you need to be careful with fire starting because of those events”
