Deion Sanders begins his Power Five conference (and FBS) head coaching career this weekend when the Colorado Buffaloes face last season’s national runner-up, the TCU Horned Frogs.
USC legend Matt Leinart offered some comments on Coach Prime before Colorado begins its much-anticipated season.
Here’s Leinart on Deion:
(h/t Sports Seriously of USA TODAY)
“He is who he is. He’s the best. He’s got a big personality. Every time he speaks, you’re listening… He is a presence. It will be interesting to see if he can have success like at Jackson State… There’s a lot of really good football teams in this conference (Pac-12). He’s kind of cleaned house over there and has a new roster of kids… He’s a great guy. I think he’s going to get the most out of his kids. He’s a great teacher of life… Deion is a presence.”
