Only one thing would convince Colorado head coach Deion Sanders to leave his job with the Buffaloes for an NFL head-coaching gig.
Sanders said he would need to get a role that would allow him to coach both of his sons, Shedeur and Shilo.
“The only way I would consider is to coach my sons. Not son. Sons,” Sanders said on Good Morning America. “I love Colorado, I love my Buffaloes, I love everything that we’re building, I love everything that we’re doing and I love Boulder, Colorado.”
The odds that both Shedeur and Shilo will land on the same team are pretty slim, so fans shouldn’t get their hopes up about Sanders joining the NFL ranks anytime soon.
Shedeur had a tremendous collegiate career and could be one of the first players off the board in the draft this year. The quarterback threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions during his final year with the Buffaloes, leading them to a 9-4 record.
Shilo didn’t have quite as impressive of a career, but there’s still a chance the safety could hear his name called this year. In his final season with Colorado, Shilo had 45 tackles, one forced fumble and two passes defended.
Sanders, who is entering his third season as Colorado’s head coach, will support his sons from Boulder and perhaps eventually join the NFL ranks as a head coach.
Until then, he’ll look to continue building up the Buffaloes program. After inheriting a team that went 1-11 in 2022, Colorado went 4-8 a year ago before going 9-4 this season. The Buffs fell short of reaching the College Football Playoff in 2024, but seem to be on their way to competing for a championship soon.
