After the spring break, Deion Sanders, with a clear vision of success, welcomed two new faces to the coaching roster during Sunday’s meeting with the Colorado Buffaloes. It’s evident that Deion Sanders is building his staff around seasoned professionals, leaving no room for mediocrity. This season is a serious business, and he’s leaving no stone unturned to ensure perfection.

With the latest hiring of Warren Sapp and George Hegamin, Coach Prime’s coaching staff of 43 members includes 16 coaches who were either NFL players or coaches. But now, he’s teasing fans with another hint about a possible hiring of an NFL veteran.
