BREAKING: Deion Sanders Has Reportedly Decided On His Next Head Coaching Job
Jackson State coach Deion Sanders has been preparing to make an exit in order to take the head coaching job at Colorado, sources told ESPN on Friday.
With Jackson State on the cusp of the SWAC title game Saturday, Sanders and his associates have spent the week making inquiries to both potential members of his on-field staff and support staff at Colorado, pitching them to join him in Boulder, sources said.
Sanders was reportedly offered the Colorado job last week, and according to a new ESPN report on Friday, he's been planning his exit and recruiting players to his soon-to-be new stop in recent days.
According to ESPN, there's an internal belief at Colorado that he will arrive on campus over the weekend, though the current regime has yet to be formally informed.
«They're not doing a great job of hiding this,» a staff source told ESPN. «If he backs out of this deal, it would be a huge problem for Colorado.»
Sanders's decision to take the Jackson State coaching job a few years ago was met with questions as he had never coached anywhere before, but Sanders has had nothing but success with the Tigers. He was able to parlay that success into a Power 5 job at Colorado
