Similar to the 2023 college football season, one of the biggest headlines in the sport is Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.
All eyes continue to be on his Buffs team as he looks to revive a program that has won six or more games just six times since the 2000 season. However, while many people are torn about his coaching style and philosophy, which heavily relies on the transfer portal, the general assumption is that he will leave Boulder when his two sons (Shedeur and Shilo Sanders) and Travis Hunter do.
The trio is expected to head to the NFL after this season, which has led to the theory that he will leave for a bigger job or follow them to the NFL. Something Stephen A. Smith is hoping for, as he revealed on “First Take” when addressing Paul Finebaum’s take that Sanders is looking for an “exit strategy.”
“Paul Finebaum, I would love to disagree with you on what you said about Prime Time Deion Sanders, and you wouldn’t be surprised if he’s ultimately looking to get up out of there,” Smith told Finebaum. “But I don’t disagree with you. A matter of fact, I hope you’re right. Because I was one of those people, Shannon [Sharpe], that I wanted Deion at Florida State. And then we he didn’t get that job, I wanted him at Texas A&M.
