Leipold has built a strong friendship with Sanders over the course of the season.
prepare for a massive matchup against the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday, Kansas head coach Lance Leipold had plenty of admiration for his counterpart, Deion Sanders.
Leipold, who has built Kansas into a competitive program, expressed respect for Sanders’ unconventional journey to coaching at the highest level. “I have a lot of respect for Coach Sanders, Coach Prime, and how he's gone about it," Leipold said. "I told him that one of the first times I met him. Because the thing that we do have in common is we've come up through ranks that aren't necessarily conventional to get a Power Four football job. He coached high school football.
Sanders’ Colorado team has drawn national attention this season for their explosive play and remarkable turnaround, something Leipold didn’t hesitate to acknowledge. “They're a very talented team. They're playing with a lot of confidence, again, in all three phases,” Leipold said. “They've been highly productive. And he's got himself a really good football team with a chance to play a lot of football yet.”
