Deion Sanders, known for seizing every opportunity, wasted no time in capitalizing on the latest development in college football. Chip Kelly, the head coach of the UCLA Bruins, made headlines by accepting the position of offensive coordinator for the Ohio State Buckeyes. This decision by Kelly has created a window of opportunity for UCLA players to transfer, as per NCAA regulations. With the potential for a significant number of transfers, Sanders, renowned for his expertise in the transfer portal, sees this as the perfect moment to make his move.
A GIF featuring Coach Prime, as Sanders is often referred to, was shared by the content creator for the Colorado Buffaloes football program. While some may interpret this as a sign that Sanders is interested in coaching the UCLA Bruins, that is not the case. Despite UCLA’s recent success, including a bowl game victory and a higher number of overall wins compared to Colorado, their recruiting class is ranked 87th in the nation. Additionally, their transition to the revamped Big 10 conference may pose challenges in the short-term. Furthermore, Sanders has personal reasons to stay in Colorado, as his children have recently purchased a luxurious home with scenic views.
Sanders’ tweet was a strategic move to attract any UCLA players who may be seeking a new team. Colorado, in particular, could benefit from reinforcements on defense, especially considering UCLA’s impressive defensive rankings from last year. It is likely that there are players on the UCLA roster who would be eager to play under Coach Prime’s guidance. Sanders, being well-versed in the workings of college football, knows how to leverage the current landscape to his advantage. Brace yourself for the ensuing chaos.
