Deion Sanders’ Health Sparks Exit Speculation Rumors swirled across social media on Monday that Deion Sanders was stepping down from his head coaching role at Colorado due to health concerns. The whispers grew loud enough to stir panic among fans of the Buffaloes and spark national debate.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders says he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer but after surgery his oncologist has considered him cured, so he plans to coach this season.

Outside of Jackson State's pandemic-shortened spring season in 2021, Sanders has never coached college football without his sons -- Shedeur and Shilo -- on his roster. Shedeur was drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns, while Shilo signed a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
