“I love where I am. I’m elated [about] where I am. I’m happy where I am. I can’t wait to see what the future holds with where I am, and I love Boulder, Colorado,” Sanders said.
“I have every intention, every plan in the world to be coaching for the Colorado Buffs from here on. I want to finish here. I want to put the flag — I want my name on the mountains out there. I want to put my flag down in Colorado.”
Sanders has already etched his name in the Colorado history books.

COLORADO STAR TRAVIS HUNTER SAYS COACH DEION SANDERS ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE
In his second season with the team, he coached the Buffaloes to a 9-3 record and the program’s first bowl game since 2020. He coached two-way star Travis Hunter on to win the Heisman Trophy and his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, is expected to be a top pick in this year’s draft.
“He ain’t going nowhere,” Hunter said of Sanders’ future on Friday. “He’s going to be right where he’s at right now.”
