Bucky revealed that in April, right before the NFL Draft, his father's health deteriorated.
He, however, underlined his dad's health report, stating that “Like I said, it was a hard-fought battle, but it was a battle that was fought and won.”
Dion Sanders to hold press conference
Coach Prime led Colorado to nine victories and a share of top place in the Big 12 during his exceptional 2024 season. The third-year coach is still under contract with the Buffaloes through 2029, thus it seems unlikely that he will leave Colorado after the successful season.

When Dion Sanders opened up about retirement plans
Meanwhile, several people have conjectured that he may retire due to his health problems. “I don't plan on being anywhere else in my coaching career,” Sanders told NBC News' Savannah Sellers in 2023 while discussing his retirement plans. "It is my desire to one day retire and just walk off, not walk off, I want to ride off on a white horse with a black hat in the sunset in Boulder, Colorado, winning a championship. Championships. Plural. That’s what I wanna do.”
