Kiszla: Sorry, Coach Prime. But the real football miracle worker in Colorado is Troy Calhoun.

There’s no better college football coach in America than the man quietly working a miracle in Colorado, and we’re certainly not talking about Deion Sanders, the brash and bold king of clicks.Troy Calhoun will never move the needle for short-attention-span America or sell sunglasses the way Coach Prime can. But in his 17th season as coach at the Air Force Academy, Calhoun has made the undefeated Falcons twice as good a football team as the mediocre (at best) Buffs.Why does this matter?Maybe it doesn’t, unless you cling to the belief that college athletics should be about more than money.Sanders is building his brand, using the gorgeous CU campus and the picturesque Flatirons as a backdrop for his Growing Up Prime reality show, starring his sons, Shedeur and Shilo.Calhoun does not give a hoot about where the Falcons are ranked in the national polls, much less about boosting his national Q Score with an Aflac commercial. His primary mission is to turn young football players into Air Fo...
