Deion Sanders is a hype machine. He’s been that way ever since his playing days — both in the NFL and MLB — and that’s a huge reason why he’s been a massive success at Colorado.
No, the Buffaloes haven’t lived up to their 3-0 start, and they’re now 4-5 and riding a three-game skid, but what Sanders did for Colorado in less than a year is astonishing, to say the least.
He put the Buffs on the map.
With his high-level NFL pedigree in mind, plus the fact that he’s clearly a fantastic motivator and coach, Sanders was recently asked by Dan Patrick if coaching in the NFL could be an option.
It doesn’t sound like it.
“No. No. Not whatsoever,” Sanders said (h/t CBS Sports). “I don’t think I’m built for the NFL. I appreciate the game so much and I respect the game so much and what the game has consistently done for me for a multitude of years. When I see a guy getting paid millions and millions and millions of dollars and he has no respect for the game and does not want to excel and exceed expectations in the game, I’m going to have a true problem. I’m the kind of coach who would go out there with 53 [players] and come back after halftime with about 32. I can’t do it. I’m too brutally honest and I want to win that much.”
