Reports have been point Sanders towards Colorado for some time now. Pete Thamel reported that Sanders would be taking the Colorado job Friday, but wanted to wait until after the SWAC Championship to officially announce it.
Sanders transformed Jackson State into a SWAC powerhouse, leading the Tigers to a 27-5 record across 3 seasons. Jackson State finished this season a perfect 12-0, led by Sanders’ son Shedeur Sanders, one of the top quarterbacks in Division I FCS.
Expect Shedeur to follow his father to Colorado.
