For more than a year, the Pro football Hall of Famer's name has been linked to NFL coaching jobs. But Deion Sanders seems to still be uninterested in making the leap.

After word that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke to Deion Sanders early in the team's coaching search, Sanders said that it was intriguing to hear from Jones but that he loves being the coach at the University of Colorado.

Chatting with host Rocsi Diaz and former teammate and current ESPN color commentator Troy Aikman, Sanders bemoaned the difference in practice intensity nowadays, saying back in his era he competed just as hard in practice as he would a game. He highlighted the contrast as the reason he couldn't stand to coach at the highest level.

DENVER — Deion Sanders got right to the point in a segment of his new television series: “I couldn’t coach pro ball,” the Colorado Buffaloes coach maintained.

During a recent episode of his Tubi talk show, "We Got Time Today," Deion Sanders explained why he passed on the NFL in favor of remaining head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.

Colorado will open the 2025 season as a 4.5-point underdog against Georgia Tech at Folsom Field, according to FanDuel. Despite playing host to the Yellow Jackets, the Buffaloes find themselves on the wrong side of the spread for this much-anticipated matchup on August 30.
