Shilo Sanders is sure the undisputed “CEO of the Headache Gang.” The Colorado Buffaloes‘ safety never misses a chance to poke fun at his dad, Coach Prime, playfully.
Forget cable channels and streaming apps — Shilo is his personal entertainment system! Whether it’s hilarious impersonations or good-natured jabs, Shilo keeps things lively. But this time, the tables might be turning!
In the July 21 Well Off Media video, Shilo playfully tries to “expose” Coach Prime’s erratic behavior. He points at his dad and says, “You think you don’t get angry? You know what you say on the field, right?” Then, mimicking Deion’s voice, he shouts, “Get off the field!” Shilo adds, “You have the loudest voice in college football!“

Coach Prime, however, isn’t buying it. He brushes it off, claiming other coaches yell, too, and denies having on-field meltdowns. Deion questions Shilo, saying, “You just wake up and just say this stuff ‘I’m going to go yell at them today?’” Shilo teases back, joking that Deion always wakes up in a bad mood. Soon, Coach Prime counters, “I like to get prepared and relax cuz I know I’m for a heck of a day dealing with you… you keep me on my knees praying. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have a pray life,” This hilarious comeback leaves everyone in stitches.

Deion clearly enjoys Shilo’s playful jabs and even throws some good-natured teasing back his way. On July 18, Deion posted a hilarious compilation of Shilo’s impersonations on Instagram. Shilo perfectly captures Coach Prime’s drill sergeant voice, nailing Deion’s signature motivational phrases like, “Dawg, y’all gotta get better dawg!” After years of witnessing his dad’s locker room speeches, Shilo mastered Deion’s “tough love” style, as he mimicked, “To need what you want, but want what you need,” perfectly emphasizing the words for maximum “Deion effect.”
Never one to miss a beat, Deion responded with a playful jab: “I need you to get out of my life, get off my team. I need you to transfer and get in the portal immediately!” This back-and-forth banter shows their close bond. While Deion might hold annual “rankings” of his five children, Shilo, with his hilarious impersonations, holds the top spot for now. And probably a good laugh or two will seal the place in the future, too!
