NFL Hall of Famer and Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders declared former Alabama legendary head coach Nick Saban as the 'magna cum laude' and the one coaches 'attain to just get next to and never eclipse.'
Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban's jaw-dropping retirement on Jan. 10 not only shook the entire college football community, but the sports world as well.
In Saban's inadvertent final season in 2023-24, a lot of buzz revolved around the city of Boulder, Colo., where NFL Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders took the head coaching job at Colorado on December 3, 2022, after a three-year stint with the same position at Jackson State. Sanders and Saban have been friends for quite some time now as it's practically impossible to not see them share the same room alongside a duck in the constantly playing Aflac commercials.
One reason why Colorado received so much attention last season was due to two of Sanders' sons being on the Buffaloes' roster: starting quarterback Shadeur Sanders and starting safety Shilo Sanders. Deion Sanders has been vocal about instilling family values among the entire team at Colorado, but also mentioned on the show how one member of Saban's immediate family has made an impact on him.
When speaking about Saban's retirement, Sanders disagreed with Klatt's take that the "tank was on E," but he did agree that it was in due part to the changing of college football's landscape.
