He led the Tigers to win back-to-back conference championships and registered an incredible 27-5 record during his tenure with the team. Another significant move from his side came recently after he made his decision to quit Jackson State and pick up a new job in Colorado.

Per reports, Sanders is subject to pay around $300,000 for breaching his contract and leaving the side before 2024. Regardless of whatever the circumstances are, the 55-year-old called this move a “call from God” and seemed thrilled to get associated with one of the poor-performing teams in 2022.
