"Ya'll are natural givers," Sanders said to his sons. "Ya'll three want to put it together so that ya'll make sure I'm straight when ya'll gone [from Colorado]. That's unbelievable, son. That almost provokes a tear."
In the clip above, you can see that the home features a stunning view of mountain ranges in Boulder. The home is not far from the University of Colorado campus.
When he came to Colorado, Sanders reportedly signed a five-year deal worth $29.5 million, making him the 32nd-highest-paid coach in the sport at that time.
In Sanders' first season leading the team, the Buffaloes went 4-8 — an improvement over their 1-11 record the previous year.
The Buffaloes started the season 3-0 but went 1-8 from there, beating only Arizona State. Sanders' sons Shilo and Shedeur are on the team, playing safety and quarterback, respectively.
As the starting quarterback, Shedeur was sacked close to 50 times and pressured nearly 200 times. This offseason, Sanders has worked to overhaul the offensive line to prevent his son from getting hit as much. Shedeur missed the final game of the season, against the Utah Utes, because of several injuries.
The Buffaloes will enter the upcoming season as members of the Big 12, having left the Pac-12. They'll play teams including Nebraska, Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Texas Tech and UCF as they look to build off their 4-8 record in 2023.
