Deion Sanders (Coach Prime)
Head coach at Colorado (year 4 in 2026). Brought unprecedented attention and media coverage to the program. Health concerns (blood clots) resurfaced in spring 2026. Coaching record at Colorado: 4-8, 9-4, 3-9 through 2025. Vegas 2026 win total: 6.5 (under scenario discussed).
New OC: Brennan Marion (Dan's concern: jumps around every ~8 months). Presumed QB: Julian Lewis, with positive spring reports on his processing. Non-conference weirdness: at Georgia Tech to open, then at Northwestern's temp stadium.
Dan's take: 6-6 won't get him fired — he's there as long as he wants to be — but the vibes depend entirely on how they win and lose. Limp 6-6 = declining attention and electricity. Exciting 6-6 with a marquee upset = hope survives.
