What if Deion Sanders became Alabama’s head coach? ESPN star asks

Deion Sanders Enters Third Season as Colorado Buffaloes Head Coach Without Sons

Deion Sanders is gearing up for his third season as the head football coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, but this time around, he will be without the support of his sons Shedeur and Shilo on the field. As Sanders prepares for the upcoming season, speculation has arisen about potential career moves for the former NFL star.

In a recent segment on ESPN’s “First Take,” Stephen A. Smith and college football pundit Paul Finebaum pondered the possibility of Sanders taking on a coaching role in the SEC. Specifically, Smith raised the idea of Sanders replacing Kalen DeBoer as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, one of college football’s most prominent programs.

Alabama faced a disappointing season last year, failing to make the College Football Playoff and ultimately losing to the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. Smith expressed his belief that the team lacked the toughness and intensity that defined the Nick Saban era, suggesting that Sanders could bring a new dynamic to the program.

While Sanders has been linked to coaching positions at other schools, including a rumored interest from the Dallas Cowboys in the past, he seems committed to his current role at Colorado. Sanders recently spoke about his battle with bladder cancer and his determination to focus on his health and the upcoming season.

As the Buffaloes prepare for their season opener, Sanders remains dedicated to leading his team to success. While the allure of coaching at a powerhouse program like Alabama may be tempting, Sanders appears content with his current position and the challenges that lie ahead.
