At CU’s Fall Media Day on August 8th, Coach Prime was asked about his health.

His response: “I’m healthy. I’m vibrant. I’m my old self. We walk every day after practice around campus at least a mile. I’m living life right now. I’m trying my best to live it to the fullest considering what transpired.”

The health of CU’s head coach took on increased significance this summer, as Coach Prime stayed back in Texas for almost three months, giving rise to renewed speculation about his future in Boulder. As a result, his reassurances of his commitment to CU at the Big 12 Media Days, and then his press conference with his health care providers, was welcome relief to the Buff Nation.

Not that Coach Prime’s future in Boulder hadn’t already been fodder for pundits from the first day he set foot on the CU campus.
