Deion Sanders Seeks NFL Veterans Leftwich, Zimmer for Colorado Coaching Staff

Deion Sanders is actively working to enhance the Colorado Buffaloes coaching staff by adding experienced NFL figures Byron Leftwich and Mike Zimmer. Despite previous reports that Leftwich had agreed to join, Sanders indicated the decision is still pending and expressed hope that Leftwich will commit, while also trying to persuade Zimmer, who is contemplating retirement, to return. With the potential additions, the coaching staff would collectively boast over 200 years of NFL experience, complementing existing members like Hall of Famers Marshall Faulk and Warren Sapp, as well as former NFL coach Pat Shurmur. Sanders has successfully brought NFL talent into the program, helping transform Colorado into a notable college football team despite the recent loss of key players like Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter to the NFL. Sanders, who has faced health challenges, remains fully dedicated to building a winning team and continuing the program's upward trajectory. The Buffaloes are preparing for the upcoming season, aiming to maintain their momentum under Sanders' leadership.
