Video: Deion Sanders Says He'll Still Be Colorado HC in 5-10 Years amid NFL Buzz

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has long been rumored to be interested in making a jump to the NFL, but he made it clear that he doesn't plan on going anywhere anytime soon.

During an appearance on the All the Smoke podcast, Sanders was asked about the possibility of joining his sons, Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders and safety Shilo Sanders, when they presumably enter the NFL draft after the 2024 season. Coach Prime said he has no intentions of doing that.

"Most people ask me, 'What you gonna do when they're out, you're going to the pros together?' I said, 'A real father leads his sons, he doesn't follow them,'" Sanders said around the 16:00 mark. "So I'm good, I'll be here. I ain't going nowhere, I'm straight, I love Boulder, Colorado, and I cannot wait till they go into the NFL and do their thing."

When asked where the Sanders family will be in the next five to 10 years, he responded, "The kids will be in the pros, and I'll be here."

After coaching Jackson State to a 27-6 record over three years from 2020 to 2022, Sanders became head coach of Colorado before the 2023 campaign. After a promising 3-0 start, the Buffaloes finished with a 4-8 record.

Still, Sanders doesn't feel motivated to pursue NFL head coaching jobs at any point.

"Nah, I don't want to coach in the NFL," he reiterated around the 46:00 mark.
