Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, couldn’t stop laughing when media figure Gillie Da King gave one of the best birthday wishes all year.
Gillie, known for his outrageous personality and humor posted a picture of himself standing with the two-time Super Bowl champion while wearing a goofy oversized cap. The caption read:
“Hbday @deionsanders Love u man and I know u love Me cause u only game Me A 3 Game Suspension for this 😂💀”

The response from Sanders was just as funny. He jumped in the comments section and wrote:
“This is so darn Funny man! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂GILLIE….😂😂😂😂😂.”
The friendship between Deion Sanders and Gillie Da King goes beyond social media jokes. Gillie has been an unwavering supporter of Sanders’ coaching journey. Their friendship took on new life when Gillie and co-host Wallo interviewed Sanders speaking on the transition to college coaching and his vision for the Colorado Buffaloes program.
The health of the coach is another good story in this year’s camp. Sanders had major bladder cancer surgery recently and claims to feel lively and healthy throughout fall camp.

Deion Sanders Navigates Heated Quarterback Battle Ahead Of 2025 Season
Deion Sanders has an active quarterback battle featuring transfer Kaidon Salter, true freshman phenom Julian “JuJu” Lewis, and returning passer Ryan Staub.
Sanders continues to be very confident in both Salter and Lewis, and believes both could play at a high level, and it’s safe to say he wants to let the best player to rise to the occasion.
The Buffaloes have a tough 2025 schedule starting on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech at Folsom field. That game is already sold out, and will be aired nationally on FOX, making headline news for the CU program.
Head coach Sanders and his staff will have a challenging schedule that includes Delaware, Houston, Wyoming, BYU, and TCU, as well as Iowa State, Utah, and Arizona, and West Virginia, Arizona State and Kansas State.
Sanders has some effective coaches to support him meet his lofty expectations. Former NFL stars Warren Sapp and Marshall Faulk will help the program, as they develop watered down, but credible positions. Sapp will work with the defensive line, while Faulk will work with the offensive line.
