“I Am Straight”: Deion Sanders Reveals Three Big Reasons Why He Never Wants to Be an NFL Head Coach

Given Deion Sanders’ success as a college football coach, after the Colorado Buffaloes, fans want to see him in the NFL. However, Coach Prime recently dropped a bomb, revealing his choice not to enter the NFL. 

To further strengthen his opinion, the Buffs HC cited three reasons at the “Nightcap Show” on YouTube. We found Deion Sanders in the “I am being straight” position as he summarized what propelled his stoic decision.

Deion Sanders’ feeling of fulfillment with Colorado

As Deion Sanders delved deep into not trying his luck in the NFL, his simple statement carried a heavy weight. Coach Prime pointed out how he feels fulfilled being a part of the Buffaloes family, saying, “Colorado provided everything I needed. Man, I’m having the time of my life. I love Boulder, Colorado.”   

Back at Jackson State, Sanders used to get an annual base salary of $300,000, which jumped to an astonishing $5.5 million. Besides the financial success, the coach focused on the recognition and respect he received as the Buffaloes coach for a short period of time.

Coach Prime loves it all as far as Buffaloes are concerned

Sanders’ affection for college football goes back to his genuine love for coaching young athletes who are part of the Buffaloes roster. Coach Prime guided them through their athletic and academic journey, saying, “I love the kids that I get to coach. I love the recruiting process. I love it. The sensitivities and I like all it.” 

As far as recruiting is concerned, Colorado has not conducted any off-campus recruiting visits this season, breaking away from tradition in college sports. Even after following a “no-visit” recruiting technique, the Buffaloes secured the commitment from 24 players for the 2024 season. 

Deion Sanders’ fondness for amateurish talents

Finally, for Deion Sanders, being in the mentorship role in college football enables him to coach amateur talents, having a deep-seated passion for the sport. He claimed, “The amateurism of it. Even though it’s turning to pros because everybody wants a bag now. But I would have a hard time in a locker room with a guy that’s making a multitude of millions and he don’t want to play and don’t want to give this all. I would have a problem with that Chad.”

A few days back, Coach Prime held a session with the Buffs players on maintaining hygiene. He spreads lessons on and off the field, and by working with rookie players, he can mold them in his own way without any interference from ego and lofty self-worth.

Hence, these candid reflections offer valuable insight into how Deion Sanders plans to proceed further with none other than the Colorado Buffaloes. While he seems confident about his son, Shedeur, making his debut in the NFL for the next season, Coach Prime seems to dishearten NFL fans.
