Another NFL insider wants Deion Sanders to take his talents to the big league — are we ready for coach Prime to transform the pros? With an estimated $11 billion franchise just waiting, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Deion has already flipped the script in college football, capturing headlines and spotlighting a once-overlooked Colorado program. But all that imagine the fireworks, the pressure and the clash of egos in the NFL arena. Could he shake up a billion-dollar, or is the hype just too food to be true? Buckle up- this might be the wildest leap football has ever seen.
Recently on November 12, during the episode of First Things First, Chris Broussard made an ice-breaking take out of nowhere and made it clear “Hire Deion Sanders,” he said. “And that’s not an original take, others have said that too, so I’m not claiming that. But I think he’s done a much better job at Colorado than any of us expected.” Broussard’s point is hard to ignore—Deion Sanders’ impact on Colorado has been nothing short of transformative. He’s taken a team that was a laughing one with serious playoff aspirations, and it’s hard to deny that his aura is already leaving a mark.
Broussard added, “They’re 7-2, they might get to the playoffs, and he is a guy that even though Jerry might not empower the head coach, Deion’s got the clout. Like those players—Micah Parsons and those other guys—will respect Deion Sanders.” It’s undeniable. Also, we can’t ignore how bad things are looking at Dallas. The Cowboys are 3-6 and it’s very obvious players are getting frustrated with head coach Mike McCarthy’s leadership. Their season has been horrific, with Dak Prescott’s season-ending injury, and Jerry Jones, as usual, can’t shut his mouth. It’s a circus in Dallas, and they need a showman who can flip the script. Who better than Deion Sanders?

Chris Broussard believes Deion might be the spark Jerry’s looking for. And, Nick Wright didn’t hold back either, then said: “I think they’re gonna have a top-five pick, and Jerry’s gonna try to bring in Travis Hunter and Coach Prime. That’ll get us back on the map.” Let’s be real — this prediction’s kinda a long shot. For that to happen, Deion would flip the script and go back on his word and break the promise, coach Prime made it very clear on that subject that he’d only make the NFL jump if he could coach his sons, Shedeur, and Shilo.
Will Deion Sanders Leave College Football Soon?
Back in August, Deion Sanders made it crystal clear that he wasn’t going anywhere soon. He told the media, “I’m just getting started in college football. I don’t think this is the closing, it’s just different levels to this thing. Although I’m 100% sure that I’m not going to be their coach next year, I’m still gonna have influence on their lives because I’m their father.” That should’ve been the end of the conversation, right? He’s committed to Colorado. But of course, the NFL temptation keeps knocking.
Then Sanders took it a step further, dismissing the idea that he’d follow his sons Shedeur and Shilo into the NFL, saying, “Another misconception is that I’m gonna leave when my kids leave. That’s the dumbest thing I ever saw in my life, like, I’m gonna follow my sons. Come on. That’s not a dad.” And while we get the fatherly devotion, the writing’s on the wall: Deion’s not just a dad—he’s a competitor, and he knows what he brings to the table.
So What’s it gonna be? Will Deion Sanders stick to his guns and keep building his legacy at Colorado, or will he take the plunge into the NFL pressure cooker? Time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: If Deion’s future is in the NFL, it won’t be just another coaching gig. It’ll be a revolution.
