Deion Sanders, also known as Coach Prime, has left his coaching role at Jackson State University for the appeal of Colorado. This move significantly changed his coaching career and came with a substantial financial transformation.
Coach Prime’s annual base salary at Jackson State was $300,000, a respectable figure. However, the opportunity to coach in the Pac-12 and the appeal of the Rockies proved too tempting to resist. He decided to join the University of Colorado, where his annual salary jumped to an astonishing $5.5 million.
This increase in salary highlights the tremendous faith that Colorado football has in his leadership as they seek to build a successful future in the competitive Pac-12 conference.
