Deion Sanders is no stranger to the annual rumors in the carousel of football programs seeking to find their next head coach after a disappointing season on the field.
On Sunday, Texas A&M joined the list of teams that will be searching for its next coach after the Aggies fired Jimbo Fisher following six seasons with the program. Sanders has deep roots in Texas as he played five of his 14 NFL seasons with the Cowboys. The Pro Football Hall of Famer also has knack for landing elite recruits and Texas is a hotbed for college football recruiting.
However, Sanders is currently focused on lifting Colorado (4-6) from a four-game losing streak after starting the season at 3-0. When reporters asked Sanders about his name being rumored for the Aggies coaching vacancy, the Buffaloes’ coach quickly shot down the idea.
