Colorado head coach Deion Sanders said he is not concerned about his job status after the Buffaloes dropped to 3-6 on the season following another Big 12 defeat. The program has now lost five of its six conference games in 2026.
Speaking after the latest setback, Sanders addressed speculation about his future directly. "I'm not thinking about if my job is in jeopardy," he said, brushing aside questions about mounting pressure after a disappointing conference campaign.
The Buffaloes entered the season with heightened expectations but have struggled to find consistency in Big 12 play. Colorado's lone conference victory came against a single opponent, while five losses have left the team near the bottom of the standings.
Sanders, in his third season at the helm, has previously transformed the program's profile and recruiting momentum. However, the current 3-6 overall record represents a significant regression from recent campaigns, prompting external scrutiny about the program's trajectory.
The coach emphasized his focus remains on preparation for the remaining games rather than external narratives. Colorado has three regular-season contests left to attempt to salvage a winning record and build momentum heading into the offseason.
