Throughout the early phases of the current coaching carousel, many have expected Colorado HC Deion Sanders‘ name to come up more with his son Shedeur Sanders likely to be a top-five pick.
Despite previous reports of a potential jump to the NFL, the Hall of Fame defensive back said he would only contemplate moving to the NFL to coach his sons.
“You know what? The only way I would consider it is to coach my sons,” Sanders said, via Good Morning America.
After inheriting a one-win team at Colorado and getting them to nine wins just two years later, Sanders showed his love for the university and committed himself to the Buffaloes.
“I love Colorado. I love everything we’re building I love what we’re doing, and I love Boulder, Colorado.”
Sanders, 57, played 16 seasons in the NFL for the Falcons, 49ers, Cowboys, Washington, and Ravens.
Sanders took his first coaching job in 2012 for the Prime Prep Academy, which he co-founded. He eventually landed the head-coaching job at Jackson State where he spent three years. Colorado hired Sanders as their head coach prior to the 2023 season.
In his FBS coaching career, Sanders has a record of 13-12 including a 9-4 record in 2024.
