Is Deion Sanders the savior the NFL needs, or should he stay with the Buffs?

Whether you like it or not, this is a redemption for the Colorado Buffs, and Deion Sanders has played a key role in it. After all, the Buffs last reached a bowl game in 2016, but under Deion’s guidance this year, they’ve quickly turned things around and secured bowl eligibility. This is enough to prove his ability to successfully take over a program and elevate it to new heights. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and Coach Prime’s accomplishments are finally gaining recognition as NFL teams are taking notice of him and considering him for head coaching positions. It’s quite surprising, isn’t it?

Today on a recent episode of the Jason Whitlock podcast, host Jason highlighted the fact that two NFL teams, the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins, might turn to Deion Sanders for a change. “The season been chaotic disappointing enough that Deion Sanders would be a good fit to coach either one of these teams because I do think this is his last year at Colorado. I do think he wants an NFL job. Either one of these teams desperate enough to perhaps turn to coach Prime,” he said. Well, the Dolphins are currently standing on a 2-win and 6-loss streak in the ongoing season, and the Cowboys are on a 3-win and  5-loss streak. Though it is quite disappointing, it could be a strong reason to consider a coaching change.

However, Deion Sanders has made one thing pretty clear: currently, his main focus is on getting his team to a better position in terms of the playoffs. But there is speculation about his exit from the program next year, as his quarterback son Shedeur Sanders and safety son Shilo Sanders will be leaving for the NFL next year, which might be one of the reasons Coach Prime might also move to the NFL.

But for now, there is no official confirmation on this from either side on any possible switch. However, Miami and Dallas are not the only teams that seem interested in getting Deion Sanders; more teams might be eyeing him. Let’s find out who are they.

Deion Sanders is being eyed by other NFL teams

Is Deion Sanders the savior the NFL needs, or should he stay with the Buffs?

Have an interesting take?

This season is all about unexpected surprises. The team, which was looked at as one of the weakest teams of college football, is now celebrated as one of the top teams in the league. And all of this was possible just because of Deion Sanders and his unique coaching style, which took the Buffs from 4-8 to 6-2 this season. The Buffs are not only breaking their past records but are also giving talented Heisman contenders to CFB like two-way star Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders. All this is also one of the major reasons pointing out the idea of Sanders leaving the Buffs and moving to the NFL.

However, recent events have brought attention to two additional teams that are looking for a new head coach. One of these teams is the New York Jets, who recently fired their coach Robert Saleh, and are currently being led by backup coach Jeff Ulbrich. The Jets are actively searching for a permanent replacement, and Deion Sanders could potentially be one of the candidates.

Similarly, the New Orleans Saints have also parted ways with their head coach, Dennis Allen, leaving a vacancy. It seems that Deion Sanders has suddenly become the focal point of interest for multiple NFL teams. Now only time will tell if these rumors will turn into reality in the future or not!
