Deion Sanders never misses a chance to show his ‘tough love’ to Shilo Sanders. And even Shilo loves messing around with him. Remember their classic battle over Coach Prime’s 40-yard dash time? Where Shilo straight up denied his entire 4.27 sec record, claiming, “there’s no video of you running it.” Then came their epic car bet, where Deion promised Shilo to buy a new car if he ran a 4.4-second 40-yard dash at pro day, but that didn’t happen as he blew past that, clocking in at 4.25 seconds. But this time, it may have gone too far, as Coach Prime’s lovable gesture for baby Snow turned into a playful teasing aimed at Shilo.
Now, we all know Deiondra Sanders embraces her motherhood, and Deion Sanders wears his grandpa tag proudly. And his sweet gesture says it all. Sanders are all in for a luxury lifestyle, and his Country Prime 5000-acre ranch is a perfect example of that, which is out there in Texas close to Mother Nature. So, how can Coach Prime not have a personalized play area for his grandchild there? He sure has it, and after going all out to create a personal play area called “Snow’s playground” for Snow, he shared pictures on Instagram of him enjoying the swing in the new space.
But he didn’t just stop there, as Coach Prime expressed deep gratitude to God and love for his grandchild Snow, saying, “Lord, thank you for my DAUGHTER @deiondrasanders for blessing me with my grandson SNOW. God, you are incredible. I only know how to be a blessing, so SNOW has it coming. I love him like he’s mine! He’s cutting into @shilosanders’ trust fund. Lololololol #Grandhitta #PapaPrime #GrandPrime” This playful shout-out brings Shilo Sanders into the picture. The humor shows how close and loving the family is, where Deion Sanders is pampering Snow but teasing his son Shilo about all the attention and resources going to Snow now. Well, it looks like baby Snow is taking Shilo’s place, or, as per Deion Sanders, his “trust fund.”

Sure, both of them trade jabs like it’s a family sport, but when Shilo makes big moves, he is the one cheering the loudest, sitting in the front row. And his recent move says it all. We all know things didn’t go as planned for Shilo during this season’s drafts, but he didn’t wait long to find his NFL home. Undrafted Colorado Buffaloes safety, Shilo Sanders signed a three-year, $2.96 million rookie deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just one day later. This came on the same day his brother, Shedeur, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns (No. 144 overall, fifth round). Shilo’s quick signing took him from Boulder’s mountains to Florida’s coast, prompting immediate celebration from his father.
Deion Sanders proudly shared the news on Instagram. He posted a screenshot from @blacklovepage, praising his son, Shilo. “I’m so Proud of @shilosanders! He’s focused, dedicated & hungry. I can’t wait to see the product he puts on the field. They have a REAL PURPOSE & yall know why. #Dad.CoachPrime,” Deion wrote. The message shows both his pride and high expectations as both father and coach. Despite their playful rivalry, Deion clearly admires Shilo’s ambition and discipline.
But it’s not just Shilo Sanders who’s making big moves.

Is Deion Sanders' 'tough love' for Shilo going too far, or is it just family fun?

Deion Sanders’ coaching carousel is turning heads
Deion Sanders continues to make waves in college football, surpassing even NFL legend Bill Belichick in CBS Sports’ 2025 coaching rankings. Sanders jumped from 61st to 33rd, while Belichick, coaching North Carolina for the first time, debuted at 54th. This ranking proves Sanders is more than just hype; his success is undeniable.
His remarkable turnaround of the Colorado Buffaloes—from a 1-11 team in 2022 to a 9-4 team with an Alamo Bowl appearance in 2024—speaks for itself. His recruiting and dynamic leadership have revitalized the program, putting Colorado in the running for a Big 12 title. Such a transformation commands attention and earns well-deserved recognition.
Even CBS Sports analyst Tom Fornelli stressed on Deion Sanders’ trajectory, saying, “It’s hard to knock what Deion did. I think, when he came in for his first season, there was plenty of hype off the field that just was not matched on the field after a hot start… But last year, Colorado took a significant step forward… The Buffs were in the title race until the very end of the year.” He added, “So, when you see that, plus the hype and attention that he draws off of the field, it’s not surprising to see that he’s starting to be bumped up people’s ballots.”

They already have 14 commits and 27 transfers this season, with a Big 12 ranking of 2nd for the 2025 class. Now, it will be interesting to see how this season turns out for him without Shedeur, Shilo, and Travis Hunter’s presence on the team.
