Various NFL head coaching jobs are open, and there is apparently one that Deion Sanders has a “very strong interest” in.
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, the Colorado Buffaloes head coach has his eye on him coaching the robbers.
Sanders’ associates have reportedly contacted the team to express interest.

The Raiders fired head coach Antonio Pierce this week after a 4-13 season, his first full season on the job. Two days later, they let general manager Tom Telesco go after his first year.
It is reported that Tom Brady, who bought a 5% stake in the franchise last year, will have a major influence on who becomes the next head coach. And it’s no secret that Brady and Sanders are in a relationship.
The Raiders also need a quarterback, and Sanders’ son, Shedeur, is widely considered one of the top two QBs in the class. Some mock drafts have him going No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans.
But Coach Prime recently said there are teams in the league he wouldn’t let Shedeur play for.

The father-son duo joined Brady on his “Let’s Go” podcast last year. Sanders also recently said the “only way” he would consider a job is in the NFL “to coach my sons.”
The Pro Football Hall of Famer joined Colorado ahead of the 2023 season after spending three seasons at Jackson State. Several Jackson State players followed Sanders to Boulder, including his sons and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who could be a top-five pick in April.
The Raiders have interviewed Aaron Glenn, Ben Johnson and Steve Spagnuolo for their coaching jobs, and next week they will speak with Pete Carroll and Robert Saleh.
