It’s been more than two weeks since Charles Kelly departed from his position as the defensive coordinator at Colorado under Deion Sanders to join Auburn’s staff. While Coach Prime swiftly assembled his initial staff in Boulder, he appears to be more deliberate in selecting a replacement for the defensive coordinator role. 

After introducing several new staff members in an update, Prime conveyed that while he could quickly choose a coordinator, he prioritizes making the right decision over being hasty for a special reason.

Colorado encountered coaching changes as defensive coordinator Charles Kelly departed for Auburn, creating a vacancy in both coaching and recruiting roles. Speculation regarding Deion Sanders’ replacement revolved around individuals who could uphold an “NFL atmosphere.” In a recent video Prime Time was captured addressing the vacancy, “I can easily choose a coordinator for you but instead of being hasty…I’d rather be right because you deserve it.” He further shed light on the criteria he is looking for in a potential hire, “Not only are we trying to get you a pro but we’re trying to get you a professional either from College or the NFL.”

Notably, 247 Sports analyst Carl Reed identified prospective candidates aligned with Coach Prime’s vision, emphasizing a commitment to maintaining a professional football ambiance within the program. The quest for a new defensive coordinator emerges as a pivotal task for Colorado and Coach Prime in navigating the post-Kelly era.
