Deion Sanders’ Future in Colorado Football Looks Uncertain
*Rumors are swirling in the College football world that Deion Sanders will resign as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes. A press conference is set for July 28 at 10 a.m. MT, where Sanders will appear with his medical team. The unusual inclusion of doctors has fans and insiders believing that Sanders may cite health issues as his reason for stepping down.
Sanders, 57, has been away from the team since April due to an unspecified condition. He’s been recovering at his Texas ranch and has not attended spring or summer camps. This absence, combined with his visible weight loss and history of blood clots, has many worried about his long-term health.
Health Concerns Have Shadowed Sanders Since April
In 2021, Sanders had two toes amputated due to complications from blood clots. He underwent multiple surgeries in 2023, and by May 2025, reports claimed he had lost 14 pounds. In a July 20 video, Sanders said, “I’m still going through something… I ain’t all the way recovered.”
Despite this, he made a public appearance at Big 12 Media Days on July 9 and visited son Shilo at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ training camp on July 23. Still, many believe the upcoming press conference signals a step back from coaching.

Fans Split on Whether Sanders Is Leaving for Health or Strategy
On X, reactions range from concern to skepticism. Some fans say Sanders is doing what’s best for his health. Others believe he’s using illness as an exit strategy now that his sons—Shedeur and Shilo—and star Travis Hunter are in the NFL.
“Deion just wanted to coach his sons and call it a day,” one post read. Another added, “He’s concocting some medical reason… everybody gets it.”
