Deion Sanders is reportedly set to become Colorado’s new coach, ending weeks of speculation over where he will land in his next job. The decision is validation that the NFL Hall of Famer made the right choice to enter coaching three years ago instead of staying in the media.
One of Sanders’ closest NFL confidants is not surprised by his success. In fact Cowboys owner Jerry Jones believes Sanders could make the jump to the NFL if he wants to.
“Deion is very capable of being a head coach in the National Football League,” Jones said Friday on his radio show, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “You couldn’t be talking to anybody that knows him any better than I do.”
