Deion Sanders has no plans to coach in the NFL. The Pro Football Hall of Famer admitted as much as he starts his work with Colorado football.
The 55-year-old tactician has a good reason for doing so, though. The two-time Super Bowl winner pointed out that he has “no desire to coach rich men” and that he'd rather help young aspiring athletes fulfill their dreams.
“I'd rather have an impact on young men in need of direction,” Sanders shared, per Daily Loud.
Deion Sanders has established himself as one of the better coaches in college football, leading the Jackson State Tigers to their second straight SWAC Championship before his departure this 2022. With that said, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get offers from the NFL sooner rather than later. If he's able to bring Colorado football back to relevance after a horrific season in the Pac-12, those potential interests should only intensify.
