Deion Sanders is nearing the end of his third season as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.
While he led them to an above-.500 season last year, Year 3 has been much tougher, with the team currently 3-7 overall and ineligible for a bowl game.
Yet ahead of Colorado’s Week 13 showdown against the Arizona State Sun Devils on Saturday night, ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham offered an honest perspective on Sanders’ time in Boulder, highlighting what he has accomplished with a program that had just one win the season before his arrival.

"Yeah, I mean, it's pretty cool if you're looking at it from his perspective. You know, he's won 300% more games this year than the year before he took over," Dillingham told reporters on Monday. "Pretty good, you know what I mean? Life's about relativity. So relative to when he took over that program, their program is 300% better—not including what you just mentioned. Just wins on the field.
"Sometimes you’ve got to put things into perspective, and I think he's done a great job there. People are talking about Colorado, recruits want to go to Colorado, they've won a much higher percentage of games with him than before, and he's battled a bunch," Dillingham added. "It just shows the type of person he is. You know, he's a fighter and a winner, and that's shown up at Colorado since he's been there."

Sanders went 4-8 in his first season in Boulder back in 2023, and then followed that up with a massive jump to 9-4 last year, competing near the top of Big 12 and falling short in the Alamo Bowl against the BYU Cougars.
After their final home game this weekend against Arizona State, they will finish the regular season on the road against the Kansas State Wildcats.
