There are very few coaches with the social media following that former NFL superstar Deion Sanders has. The head coach of Colorado is the most recent example of the success that former NFL players and coaches can have at the collegiate level.
He started out at Jackson State completely revamping and turning around the program and has since started the same process at the Big 12 school.
On top of that, Sanders is projected to have two of his players selected in the first 10 picks of the upcoming NFL Draft proving that NFL players create NFL-caliber talent.
On the flip side, the most dynamic story in college football over the last 24 hours has been North Carolina football hiring Bill Belichick, the long-time and Super Bowl-winning New England Patriots coach.
Coach Prime welcomed Belichick to the college ranks by stating that Belichick is the “Coach to All us Coaches.” That is some high praise for the man now in charge of UNC football.
Coach Bill Belichick is a coaches Coach to All us Coaches along with my man Coach Saban! They’re game changers and they know how to move people forward. I know this is a great thing for College Football & for North Carolina. God bless u Coach, if you’re happy I am 2! #CoachPrime

On top of that, Sanders also related Belichick to Nick Saban, who is responsible for multiple championships at the University of Alabama.
Sanders goes on to say that “they know how to move people forward” which indicates his confidence that Belichick will provide players with NFL-caliber preparation, essentially putting a target on UNC football for the world to see.
