When athletic director Rick George decided to move on from former Colorado football head coach Karl Dorrell in October of 2022, few envisioned Deion Sanders would be the next man up to rebuild the program. But George made it happen and the Buffs are now enjoying success midway through Coach Prime’s second season in Boulder.
Colorado has captured the college football world’s complete attention and the wins are starting to follow. Coach Prime has rebuilt the Buffs’ roster to compete in the short term and is also making moves to keep Colorado strong past this season.
On Tuesday, George met with the media and shared his thoughts on where things currently stand with Coach Prime and the CU football program.
“We hope that Coach Prime finishes his career here,” George said. “I think he can do significant things for us long-term with longevity. For us, and I think coach would sit here and tell you that he and I are on the same page about where we want this program to go, it’s not a short-term fix. We want to set it up to be sustainable for the future. I think what he’s done has been incredible. I like the culture that he’s created. I see it on a daily basis with his student-athletes and his coaches. Like I said, I like where we’re at. We’ve got a lot to do still moving forward and we’re on the same page with that.”
